The Phlegraen Fields 
The Fields, also known as Campi Flegrei (Greek for 'happy land'), is a large 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) wide caldera situated to the west of Naples. It is a low-lying volcano completely surrounded by populated areas in the town of Pozzuoli. Houses are built right to the crater rim. Campi Flegrei is active caldera, with periods of unrest in 1969-1972 and 1982-1984. Current activity at the volcano consists of solfataras in the crater. The caldera and its surroundings are inhabited by more than 1.5 million people.

Solfatara 
Solfatara is a shallow volcanic crater at Pozzuoli near Naples which is part of the Campi Flegrei volcanic area. It is a dormant volcano which still emits sulfurous fumes. The name comes from the Latin term Sulpha terra, "land of sulfur", or "sulfur earth". It was formed around 4000 years ago and last erupted in 1198 with what was probably an explosive steam-driven eruption, caused when groundwater interacts with magma. It has many fumaroles (a smoke-opening in the planet's crust which emits steam and gases) and mud pools. The area is well known for its bradyseism, and the vapors have been used for medical purposes since Roman times.

Reviews for this Tour

Carmine is friendly and knowledgeable. He really knows the Amalfi Coast. Because there was time left at the end of our tour he drove us through parts of his home city, Naples, that we would not otherwise have seen. His love and passion for Naples and the surrounding countryside were clearly evident.

Say YES! To Carmine.... the Best tour guide EVER! Carmine picked up our group in Naples. As soon as we got into his incredibly comfortable van we knew we were in good hands. He is friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly eager to share his love of the Amalfi Coast. We saw places we would have NEVER have discovered on our own. An animated storyteller and incredibly funny, Carmine was a joy to spend the day with. Lunch was incredible. The most beautiful location and view. And our bathroom stop transformed into an impromptu olive oil tasting! He knew the BEST (and secret) locations to take photos and was happy to stop whenever we asked. I bring small groups of guests to Italy. I have hired guides throughout the country. Some good. Some bad. Carmine is one if the best! I’ve hired him to be our guide when I bring a group back to the Amalfi Coast for several days this coming fall. And know our time with him will be a highlight! Choose Carmine to be your guide... you won’t regret it!
