Baia
-
This little town was the most sumptuous resort of the ancient world – everyone who was anyone had a seaside retreat of daunting size and opulent luxury here. Due to the seismic activity in this area, however, much of the land and the structures are now underwater, forming a unique flooded city that can be explored by dives or by boat. There’s also a 15th-century castle here, the Castello di Baia, housing an archaeological museum, while to the north is Lago d’Averno, a crater lake that the ancients believed marked the entrance to the Underworld.
