Those wishing to combine the trip with a visit to Naples and the surroundings may contact Bruno Siciliano. He shall be pleased to assist ISER'02 Attendees and Accompanying Persons and provide useful tips to get around. Daily trips from the island to the city or either of the other islands of the gulf (Capri, Procida) are also possible, whereas daily excursions to locations on the main land (e.g. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Amalfi Coast) are not advised.
