||||||||||||
Magical cities of Pozzuoli, Cumae and Phlegrean fields (full day tour, 6 hours) These places are not so crowded with tourists as nearest neighbor Pompeii, and simply can not be described how many stories, legends, secrets, myths are connected with them, so you will discover something completely new. The Phlegrean fields (from the Greek phlegraios, "burning") - is a huge volcanic area, situated to the west of the Bay of Naples, from the hill of Posillipo to Cumae. Its volcanic nature is immediately apparent, thanks to the tuff and pumice appearing on the surface, boiling and smoking fumaroles, craters forming natural amphitheaters. We will walk along the bottom of the crater of volcano Solfatara – you will feel under the feet the heated earth, the smell of sulfur, see swirls of hot steam coming out of the ground and "boiling" mud. Here you will get absolutely extraordinary sensations. We will also see the temple of Serapis, which in fact was used not as a temple, but as a market. Visit the fantastic Flavian Amphitheater, the third largest in Italy. We'll go into the magic cave of the famous ancient prophetess Cumaean Sibyl. We will see impressive ruins, archaeological parks, an entire ancient city, extracted from the earth during excavations, which are connected with the history and legends of these amazing places. Passionate admirers of archeology here have a lot to see, and even in abundance, so, to rest and strength we can do visiting a farm and taste local products and delicious dishes of traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
