CAMPI FLEGREI - BACOLI AND CAPO MISENO

Campi Flegrei - Discovering Bacoli and Capo Miseno

The territory of the Campi Flegrei develops north of the city of Naples. Baptized by the first Greek travelers and settlers of the 8th century. B.C. with the name of Flegraios, a land of fire, burning with volcanic activity. Suggestive place full of charm, rich in history, art, myth, nature still little known and waiting to be discovered. In this period, a safe destination for those who want to continue to get excited. Today's Bacoli, a town that insists on the Phlegraean territory, is the daughter of the urban development that took place in the second half of the twentieth century, but still holds important testimonies of the ancient world that tacitly tell about its glorious past. The Praetoria Classis Misenensis, a Roman military fleet at the service of the emperor, already a destination in the republican era for the Roman patriciate, was located in Miseno.

We offer two itineraries to be carried out on foot, in this fascinating scenario, putting human and nature's health first.
