About this activity

This tour is an authentic and relaxed way to discover the Campi Flegrei coast, between myth, volcanoes, ancient history, and local life, far from the most crowded tourist routes.

You will travel in a small group, by car and at a relaxed pace, discovering spectacular landscapes, little-known places, and authentic corners that you would hardly find on your own.

The experience unites Lake Averno and its legends, the ancient Bay, the coast of Miseno, Mount of Procida, Cumae, and the volcanic landscapes of Solfatara.

There will also be free time on the beach, where you can freely choose to have lunch at a fish restaurant or at a more informal bar with sandwiches and salads, relax by the sea or swim during the beautiful season.

You will not be accompanied by a simple driver, but by a local person who will share stories, curiosities, and personal advice.

A different way to discover a lesser-known but equally fascinating side of the coast near Naples.
