Naples in five emoji

Italy

Older than Rome, denser than almost anywhere in Europe, and sitting next to an active volcano. Founded by Greeks, which the name still records.

The bay, and a coastline that turns into Sorrento and Amalfi.
A Greek and Roman city runs underneath the modern streets and can be walked.
