In the last stretch of the Phlegraean coast, now one with the Domitian coast, in the territory of Giugliano, included in the metropolitan area of Naples, the large beach of Varcaturo succeeds the Lido di Licola.

Despite the passage of time, the stretch of "Costa del Mito", in the north of the Gulf of Pozzuoli, the places preserve in their name the memory of the presence of the Classis Miserenensis, the most important fleet of the empire, established by Augustus a few decades before the first century BC expired.

Together with the various species of birds stopping there during the long migrations, the coots populated permanently, always numerous, the vast coastal wetland. According to Emperor Nero's plans, the long navigable canal connecting Rome to Pozzuoli had to start there.

Imagine that you have just visited one of the most particular and interesting archaeological sites of the Phlegraean Fields, the Mirabilis Pool, and to smell the unmistakable scent of the nearby sea.

"O Vatia, tu solus scis vive", "O Vatia, you alone know how to live": the exclamation with which his peers addressed him remained over centuries, when they met him in Rome, when they met him in Rome, evoking the long periods that the Isaurico loved to spend in his villa d'otium in the renowned Campanian sea.

Protected by the cliff surmounted by the Castle, dominated by the austere imposingness of the ancient Aragonese fortification that today houses some of the archaeological jewels found in the sea surrounding it, the beach of Castello di Baia extends at the end of the wide Gulf of Pozzuoli.

In the most extreme and advanced part of the Phlegraean Peninsula, just in front of Procida, separated by the shortest stretch of sea, a bay opens with a beach of fine sand, where there is a small tourist port too.
