Travel influencer disses popular European city, slamming it as ‘chaotic' and ‘full of trash'
Marek Pukas, 28, shared a 13-second video on social media showing the streets of Naples littered with rubbish and overflowing planters, questioning: 'Most disappointing city in Italy?'
Pukas, who praised Italy's 'beauty, charm and care,' said Naples stood out for all the wrong reasons.
'I've seen a lot of places across this country, but I've never seen streets so full of trash,' he said.
'It was messy, chaotic, and, honestly, hard to enjoy.'
The influencer was on a June road trip with friends, visiting Bari, Polignano a Mare, Alberobello, Positano, and Sorrento before arriving in the historic foodie destination.
'I was super excited, because Naples is the capital city of pizza,' he explained.
'So we got there, and it was quite chaotic. Italy is chaotic, but this city was all over the place.'
It was so bad that his group left after two hours due to safety concerns.
'We were already kind of scared, because in that parking spot there were a few cars with broken windshields, so it made us think,' Pukas said.
'But we still went to explore a bit. And that's where all the dirt began.'
He admitted that he might have been in the wrong area of the city, but it wasn't for his group.
'I don't know what part of the city we were in, but it wasn't like the Italy I knew,' he said.
'It was dirty, trash everywhere, people selling pretty much everything at some random markets.'
Instead, the group decided to head back to their stay in Pompei.
'All of the cities we visited before were stunning, but that one place just wasn't it,' Pukas said.

Influencer couple behind YouTube channel Toyota World Runners killed in crash in ‘the mountains they loved so much'
A well-known Canadian travel influencer couple have died in a tragic off-road crash in the mountains of British Columbia. Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans, creators of the Toyota World Runners YouTube channel with more than 200,000 subscribers and 72,000 Instagram followers, were driving through rough terrain near Trout Lake when they lost control. News of their deaths was confirmed by friends, family, and Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR), who responded to the scene on the evening of August 7. Mark Jennings-Bates, a manager with Kaslo SAR, said teams were called to an off-road motor vehicle incident at around 7:30pm local time. 'So it was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards [...] the village of Trout Lake,' he said. 'Our teams were able to get to them efficiently. It's a long journey, but they got there efficiently. So that was very, very helpful. 'And of course that means that the helicopter pilot could also fly straight to the destination with confidence that he was going to find them.' Jennings-Bates said one of the occupants was dead when rescuers arrived, while the other was airlifted to hospital but later died. The cause of the crash remains unclear, though authorities suspect they lost control on rough terrain. It is not known whether they were filming at the time. The couple were known for documenting their travels across North and South America, including building what they described as the 'world's first Land Cruiser Chinook in 100 days' — a custom vehicle that combines the body of a Toyota Chinook camper with a Toyota Land Cruiser for off-road expeditions. It has not been confirmed whether they were travelling in the Toyota Chinook at the time of the crash. Jennings-Bates urged anyone heading into the mountains to be prepared for emergencies, pointing out that rescue operations can take time in remote areas. Tributes from the global 4x4 community are pouring in for the pair. 'Matthew and Stacey had an enormous impact on my life.' 4xjournalNZ, a New Zealand based off-road magazine, posted on Instagram beside a photo of the couple. 'First, through their content. Then, as close friends. We spent countless hours in fits of laughter, and I had the privilege of witnessing their fierce love for one another. 'Joined at the hip, they were planning their wedding and a lifetime of off-road exploration together. The weekend of their passing, we had planned a video call so they could meet Saskia — our daughter, who Sophie was pregnant with when we all met in person. 'Creating content in the outdoors is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be dangerous. Remote locations are part of what makes this lifestyle so special, but they come with risks. Matthew and Stacey knew that — and they embraced life regardless. They leave behind an inspiring legacy of adventure, love, and laughter.'

Italy's Mount Vesuvius closed to tourists over wildfire
Italian firefighters and the army on Sunday tackled a wildfire on the flanks of Mount Vesuvius, with all hiking routes up the volcano near Naples closed to tourists. The national fire service said it had 12 teams on the ground and six Canadair planes fighting the blaze, which has torn through the national park in southern Italy since Friday. "The fire-fighting continues ceaselessly on three fronts", the Campania Region said in a statement. The army created a fire break and reinforcement firefighters were brought in from other areas of Italy, while onsite teams used drones to better monitor the spread of the fire, the region and fire service said. The park's head Raffaele de Luca said the area affected covered some 500 hectares. "For safety reasons and to facilitate firefighting and cleanup operations in the affected areas, all activities along the Vesuvius National Park trail network are suspended until further notice," the park said in a statement Saturday. Nearly 620,000 people visited the crater of the active volcano in 2024, according to the park. The smoke from the fire could be seen from the Pompeii archeological site, which was buried by Vesuvius' eruption during Roman times. The site, however, remained open to tourists. Experts say European countries are becoming ever more vulnerable to wildfires due to intensifying summer heatwaves linked to global warming. On Mount Vesuvius, "the firefighting efforts are particularly delicate due to both the weather conditions -- high temperatures and wind -- and the pine needles, which contribute to the spread of the flames," said Italo Giulivo, head of the region's civil protection department. Italy's biggest agricultural association Coldiretti said the fires were "an enormous disaster" for vineyards and farms in an area well known for its wine, apricots and tomatoes. The local prosecutors' office has opened an investigation into the origin of the fires. ide/gv
