Napoli Sotterranea Napoli Sotterranea No Data

Description


This tour is in two parts. In part one you descend down 40m into the spaces quarried out of the ground to build the Greek New City (Neopolis - Napoli) in the 5th Century BC. Over the years these have been used as a quarry, water cistern, rubbish dump and air raid shelter. Today you can walk around parts of the complex, including squeezing through the incredibly tight (and dark) passageways between the cisterns. The tour guide tells you some of the history of the complex as they take you through the various spaces. The tour includes around 130 steps down and a corresponding number on the way back up, so isn't suitable for those with limited mobility.
