Naples - Gay and Lesbian Travel Guides | Naples | Gay and Lesbian Naples Saunas Beaches

In many ways Naples is a conservative city: the family is very strong here, as is religion. However, there is also a healthy disrespect for rules of any kind and perhaps it is because of this that there exists a surprisingly tolerant attitude towards all things gay. This is not to say that the gay scene is especially out in the open, or that the city is overflowing with gay clubs and bars (it isn’t). Indeed the issue is often suppressed or ignored, and with children usually continuing to live with their parents into their mid-thirties, problems often arise. Capri is the most obvious gay destination in the area: it’s homosexual roots can be traced back to Tiberius. There is also a small local scene in Naples, however, particularly around the university. The lack of gay clubs means that the scene relies on gay nights in other venues, many of which change relatively often. For the most up-to-date information contact: ArciGay-Circolo Atinoo/ ArciLesbica-Circolo Le Maree, an excellent and very helpful information centre shared by the Neapolitan gay and lesbian communities.

ArciGay-Circolo Atinoo/ArciLesbica-Circolo Le Maree, vico San Geronimo alle Monache 17-20, T 081-5528815, http://www.arcigaynapoli.homepad. com, http://www.arcilesbicanapoli. homepad.com, adamoeadamo@hotmail.com (Arcigay), lemaree@freemail.it (ArciLesbica). On a small road just west of via Mezzocannone in the Centro Storico. ArciLesbica organize film evenings, social dinners and monthly games of football. ArciGay organize meetings every Wed evening.

Piazza Garibaldi near Hotel Terminus is an established crusing area but hardly salubrious. The Bosco di Capodimonte is better, and piazza Bellini is so civilized it’s really just a ‘meeting place’.
