Following a pick-up from your pre-arranged location in Naples, travel to the regional park, also known as the Campi Flegrei. The fascinating area owes its varied landscape to the numerous, now extinct and dormant volcanos, and the bradyseismic phenomena most prevalent in the Macellum of Pozzuoli.

Marvel at the volcanic lakes of D'Averno, Fusaro, and Miseno, before your return transfer to Naples.
