    Deeply moving. The awesome force of mother nature under the earth, volcanic, bubbles mud and sulfuric steam to the surface. Massive volcanic crater in the campi flegri.

    Great place to see an amphitheater that is the second in Italy. Much less crowded then in Roma but with similar feel and structure

    Have waited so long to visit here. What a joy to fianally have got there! It's a vast site with lots of buildings and views . What a place it must have been in its day!
    Unfortunately there were not many information boards so I sometimes wasn't sure what I was seeing. I'd have bought a guide book if I'd seen any, perhaps I missed them...You do get a simple map.
    Lots of benches to sit and reflect. There are a great many steps but good solid hand rails for those, like me, who need them. Toilets at the top of the site. Helpful staff who can speak some Emglish.
    It's really not far from Naples. I took the train to Fusara then it was a 20 minute walk. Worth every step to get there!

    As a site, Cuma is probably most interesting for those who know the stories associated with it. The cave of the Sibyl is there; it was the landing place of Aeneas. The temples are not in great condition, but there’s enough to see to get a feeling for what the city was once like, particularly because the view from high up gives a strong sense of the topography of the region. There are many helpful explanatory signs around the site. The main disadvantage is that it is hard to get to by public transport. Best case is a slow train from Naples to Fusaro or Licola and then a local bus, but when we went the local bus was not running and we had to walk. It meant that the park was not very crowded, though.

    Easy walk around the lake. Nice lakeside restaurant but on Sundays book or go early otherwise you will not get in!

    Pozzouli is a gem of a place and the Rione Terra is the brightest gem we encountered. We booked a tour in English for the two of us, which was easily done on their web site, and received confirmation the next day.
    We really didn’t know much about the site other than it was an “underground tour” which sounded interesting, but we discovered there was much more to it.
    The location of the site is breathtaking. It is located on a height right on the shore overlooking the rest of the city. It was the site of a Roman settlement that Included a temple and villas. Overtime the area was built over and a modern city arose, yet the ruins lay underneath revealed in the 1980s when the site was evacuated due to seismic activity. What you will see is a vast area of excavated Roman ruins lying underneath the refurbished structures above.
    Our guide, Dominico, spoke good English and gave us an interesting tour. Because so few people outside of Italy seem to know about this place we had an impromptu private tour for a grand total of 10 Euros!
    Pozzouli is only a 30 minute train ride north of Naples from Montesano station on the Cuma train. It’s a nice place to stay, relaxed, insanely scenic, and much cheaper than Naples or areas south of Naples. And the people there are so very nice, kind and accepting of tourists.

    I found our visit to Solfatara and the Campi Flegrei to be very interesting. The gritty soil from the volcanic activity, the vents streaming pungent sulphurous gas and heat, the mud holes--all pretty unique, and helps you imagine what a volcanic eruption throws at you. It is not a pleasant place, but an interesting change of pace.

    I literally walked past this place after visiting the Amphitheater. You can’t go in but just look from above. Pretty awesome though.

    The cave is not the most interesting part of the site and it probably was not the site of the Sibyl's cave. However, it is one of a number of interesting structures - including tunnels - that were built so long ago and are unlike others of their time. What was their true use?

    Simply stunning underground archeology. The history of this area is just mind blowing. The cathedral is one of the wonders of the world.

    Nice, small beach but that‘s about it.
    Unfortunately the staff doesn‘t speak much english. We wanted to spend one hour here in the afternoon around 5p.m. The beach was already pretty empty and we just wanted to lay down with some towels. After 10 minutes, the guy who cleans the beach, snapped at us in italien because apparently you‘re only allowed to be there if you pay for a beach chair (even at 5 p.m.). He was super impolite and very unfriendly, and couldn‘t tell us where we are allowed to lay down, so we left.
