Baia Underwater Archaeological Snorkeling Adventure

Have you ever seen a city underwater?
Explore the wonders of the ancient Roman city of Baia, the Roman city where luxury was the standard, which today is partly submerged due to the strong volcanic activity of the Phlegraean Fields, the geological area where we find ourselves.

The phenomenon called bradyseism has slowly brought the level of the earth down over the years, so today the Roman villas that stood in front of the sea are about four meters underwater and the sea has preserved them wonderfully.

Come with us to see the ancient Roman city of Baia, you can experience the thrill of swimming on an ancient city today inhabited by so much marine life.
All the remains, being no more than four meters deep, have perfect visibility from the surface and you can easily admire them while snorkeling!
