Access to the site is easy with the Circumvesuviana, with a train station right in front of the entrance.
Naples deserves to be seen, and I would recommend it over spending the day running around with trains and stuff. I would stick to the city, a pizza or two, and a relaxed day enjoying the views.
This for sure. Mrs pbiflyer tried using a book as a guide. While it was still amazing, she was frustrated with all she missed.
