The Phlegraean Fields, from the Greek phlegraios “flaming”, is a volcanic territory that extend from the north-west confine of Naples along the coast until and including Ischia. 39 volcanic craters, all extinct, form the territory that from the historical and archaeological point of view, is certainly one of the most important in Europe.

It conserves an antique and deep feeling in which history, legend, myth and mystery melts with a sweet, tormented and ever changed nature.

Chosen by the Greeks to found Cuma, the first colony in the western Mediterranean, which became the land of myth where many episodes of Greek mythology took place.

Along the Via Domiziana, which was the main road that connected Pozzuoli to Rome, we can admire the shores of lake Avernus that was considered by the ancient Greeks, to be the entrance to the hell, one went to Cuma to interrogate the Sybil who shared the fame of the most famous oracle of ancient times with Delphi.

Pozzuoli the largest community in the zone, was in roman times a large port city, today it is rich with roman ruins and conserves among other things, the remains of the Flavian Amphitheatre with its capacity of 38.000 spectators was the third largest in the roman empire.

The diaries of trips made by famous travellers are a testimony of this land where the history, volcanoes, and poems have marked on its territory traces that time has never cancelled.
