What should I pack for a holiday in Naples during August?
Women should efinitely pack loose-fitting cotton clothes - the lightest, most breathable items you own. A hat will protect your head and face from the harsh sunshine, and a shawl will double-up to protect your shoulders from the sun during the day, allow you to visit places of worship (knees and shoulders need to be covered), and also provide an extra layer in the evenings if sitting outside. Local men generally wear lightweight formal trousers and body-hugging cotton shirts. Tourist men mainly wear shorts and t-shirt or singlet. It depends on where you are going and what you are going to do. Dress appropriately knowing that the weather will be hot.
