I agree, but still, this is Naples and Neapolitans have a lot of fantasy. Some 15 years ago a colleague of mine landed at Capodichino, (he spoke no Italian), got into a cab and told the driver in English to get him to where the boats for Capri left from. Well, instead of bringing him to the port (~8 km away) the cabbie brought him to Sorrento (~55 km)! My colleague was lucky that he got a ship to Capri right away and he didn't have to spend the night there, causing him additional expenses. Having said that, I looooove Napoli, and I'll go there in a month or so for a couple of days to visit dear friends.
