The Phlegraean Fields: Greek and Roman Archaeology in an full day trip

The Phlegraean Fields are a large volcanic area located north of Naples. The landscape is made up of low and wide volcanoes still active. Because of the sulfataras, volcanic fumaroles that mainly emit volcanic vapors and gases with a strong sulfur component, the ancient Greeks and Romans thought that here was the entrance to the Underworld.
1) The first visit is Cuma, the first colony founded by the Greeks in southern Italy in 750 B. C. We will visit the so-called cave of the Sibyl, a seer whose oracles were very famous.
We will then go up to the highest part of the Greek city, the acropolis, where we will see the remains of the temples of Apollo and Jupiter.
2) Visit of Baia, a huge and spectacular Roman villa from the Republican era later transformed into a large hotel. The villa is spread over several terraces and has numerous rooms, frescoes and mosaics. The most important buildings of the complex are 3 indoor swimming pools, one of them with an intact dome.
3) View of the Solfatara from the top.
