Overview

Visit the old town of Pozzuoli on the seaside and discover its ancien origins, enjoy delicious local seafood and a sailing tour.
Pozzuoli, older than cities like Rome and Naples, was one of the first site in south Italy to be founded by the Greeks more than 2700 years ago.
Explore the Flavian Amphitheater, the third largest in the Roman world, after those of Rome and Capua, located in an intersection that connected Naples, Capua and Cuma.
We will then descend towards the heart of Pozzuoli where we can admire the Temple of Serapis or “Macellum”, a public Roman market, today a symbol of the bradyseism of the Phlegraean area, which causes the raising and lowering of the ground level, as it is visible from the three tallest columns which until 1983 were the main instrument for measuring the phenomenon.
We will admire the ”Campi Flegrei”, the Phlegraean Fields are volcanic fields with numerous different active eruptive spots.

Visit the Roman Amphitheatre Flavio

The Flavian Amphitheater is the third largest Roman Amphitheater and testifies the finest architectural and building techniques achieved by the Romans

Discover the Temple of Serapis

We will descend towards the heart of Pozzuoli where we can admire the Temple of Serapis or "Macellum", a public Roman market, today a symbol of the bradyseism of the Phlegraean area, which causes the raising and lowering of the ground level, as is visible from the three tallest columns which until 1983 were the main instrument for measuring the phenomenon.

Sail off for a Boat Trip

We walk down to the port and discover what once was the economic center of the city, the ancient landing place, perhaps Cumano, which, starting from the 2nd century BC, became the emporium of Rome and the most important center of trade in the western Mediterranean where spices, slaves, wine, ceramics and precious objects were traded.
We'll admire the historic Rione Terra from the sea during a 30 minutes boat trip accompanied by a local fisherman

Let's Enjoy the Local Cuisine

As we return to the port we will be guests of one of the best seafood taverns on the dock, "Abbascio ù mare", considered by the locals a meeting and gathering point to taste delicious fresh local food with a glass of wine and admire the sunset and its unique colours.
