ItalyBaia: Dive into the history of the Roman Empire
From 1550 €
Level Beginner
Minimum stay 6 days / 5 nights
Presentation
Some of the most famous figures of ancient Rome, such as Caesar, Augustus, Agrippina and Nero at one point or another visited the ancient town of Baia. Back then, Baia was the resort town for rich Roman citizens. Nowadays it’s a small, unassuming seaside town just a few kilometres from Naples. Baia is home to the most spectacular submerged treasure in the Mediterranean, its ruins having slowly sunk into the Bay of Naples over the centuries because of the region’s frequent earthquakes.
You can even swim in the middle of Emperor Claudius’s dining room, complete with statues and mosaic floors – all at a depth of only 5 meters!
