Golfo Di Napoli , Naples

The Gulf of Naples, also known as the Bay of Naples, extends for approximately 30 km

from Monte di Procida to Punta Campanella,

forming one of the most famous landscapes in the world.

Formerly called Crater Sinus (Crater Gulf) due to the dominating presence

of Mount Vesuvius, this body of water holds centuries of history and legends.

The gulf embraces the Sorrento coast and is home to the iconic

islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida,

while its seabed is home to archaeological treasures such as the Baia Underwater Park.

It is a place that changes with the passing of the hours: sunny and lively by day, romantic and evocative by night, so much so that it is often chosen as a film set.

Its history dates back to the Neolithic period, and flourished in Roman times, when it became a favored destination for the aristocracy, as evidenced by the villas of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the gulf passed to the Duchy of Naples and later to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

Today, in addition to its scenic beauty, the gulf offers unforgettable experiences:
from archaeological dives
to excursions to Mount Vesuvius,
from boat tours between the islands
to visits to the Phlegraean Fields.

A place that is more than just a postcard, but an exciting journey through nature, culture, and tradition, all under the unchanging gaze of Vesuvius.
