The experience will take place in two phases: a walk through the historic center and a visit to some archaeological sites of Bacoli that will end with a stop at the belvedere stupor mundi of Monte di Procida, and a canoe excursion to see the beautiful landscapes and coves of Baia and Bacoli.
Bacoli walking tour
We will start by crossing the historic center of Bacoli, admiring the suggestive image of the Sibyl Cumana depicted by the famous street artist Agoch Jorit, and then go to the archaeological site of Cento Camerelle which overlooks the beach of Bacoli.
The name Cento Camerelle is due to the numerous environments and underground tunnels that make up the structure, which is the oldest system of cisterns built in a private villa that was used for water collection and fish breeding.
It is believed that the villa also belonged to Emperor Nero, who in this place in 59 AD had his mother Agrippina killed.
We will then see the Miseno Theater, the Sacello degli Augustali and the Dragonara Cave, whose remains are partly hidden by the urban landscape or submerged by bradyseism.
From Bacoli we will take the scenic route that leads to the belvedere "stupor mundi" of Monte di Procida, to admire a wonderful and unique landscape in the world.
Baia and Bacoli canoe tour
We will start from the Miseno anchorage, an ancient Roman military port, pass Punta Pennata and then arrive at the beach of the Aragonese Castle of Baia.
From the beach you can enjoy a prfect view over the beautiful Baia Castle, that houses the Campi Flegrei Archaeological Museum.
Then we will take you to discover the ancient Roman port, caves and beaches of Bacoli, and make a short stop in a natural pool that the inhabitants of Bacoli call "schiacchetiello".
A relaxing and exciting experience in places of great charm.
