Holiday in Torre del Greco

Torre del Greco is a town where the sea meets the fire of Mount Vesuvius: on one side the blue waters of the Gulf of Naples, on the other the dramatic slopes of the volcano.
World-famous for its tradition of coral and cameo craftsmanship, Torre del Greco is still today a lively and authentic destination where maritime life intertwines with centuries-old artisan skills.

Strolling through Torre del Greco means breathing in a unique atmosphere: the bustling marina, the workshops where corals are shaped into jewels, the historic churches, and the seafront promenade that opens onto one of Campania’s most spectacular panoramas. Thanks to its strategic position, it is also the perfect starting point to explore Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the islands of the Gulf.

It’s the ideal choice for travelers looking for a destination that combines the sea, culture, and craftsmanship in an authentic setting, far from mass tourism.

When visiting Torre del Greco

Torre del Greco can be enjoyed year-round, thanks to its mild climate, but the best times to visit are spring and early autumn.

Here's why:

Mild weather: perfect for exploring the seafront, the coral shops, and nearby archaeological sites.
Authentic vibe: less crowded than the more touristy destinations.
Local traditions: patronal feasts and food festivals bring the town to life.
Scenic landscapes: the Gulf and Vesuvius offer spectacular views.

In the summer, Torre del Greco becomes livelier with events at the marina and evenings along the seafront, while in winter it keeps a quieter, more authentic charm.

How to reach Torre del Greco

Torre del Greco is very easy to reach, thanks to its proximity to Naples.

If you’re traveling by car, take the A3 Naples–Salerno motorway and exit at Torre del Greco. The drive takes around 20 minutes from Naples. Traveling by car allows great freedom, though traffic can be heavy at peak times.
A very convenient option is the train: the Circumvesuviana line connects Naples to Torre del Greco in about 20 minutes, with frequent services. It’s practical and inexpensive, though trains may be crowded in peak hours.
There are also buses running from Naples and nearby towns. They are an affordable option, though slower and subject to road traffic.
Finally, in the summer months, you can even arrive by sea. From Naples, hydrofoils and ferries operate tourist routes that include Torre del Greco along the coast. It’s a scenic way to reach the town, though the service is seasonal.
