What to expect
Capo Miseno
The excursion will start on the coast of Miseno: walking a few meters we will arrive at the Dragonara cave, the first among the testimonies of the vast Roman cistern, sleeping under the surface of the ground, in correspondence with the ancient villa of Lucullus. It will only be the beginning of our journey, which will lead us to the slopes of the Miseno crater, born between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago. A structure that allows the settlement of numerous species of birds, both stationary and migratory. Among the Mediterranean scrub, we will go up an ancient Bourbon path that will grant us a splendid view of Monte di Procida, home to what remains of the ancient Archiflegreo volcano. What once was the nerve center of the Roman fleet will open before us, up to the summit overlooking the Miseno lighthouse. Here our visit can range for well over 180 ° of panorama. Finally, we will descend along a path that runs along the crater mouth, up to the clearing before the lighthouse.
