Area Marina Protetta Parco Sommerso Gaiola

Situated between the picturesque fishing village of Marechiaro and the bay of Trentaremi, the Gaiola marine nature reserve takes its name from the two islets that lie opposite the Neapolitan coast of Posillipo. The reserve has become famous due to its winning combination of historical, archaeological, biological and volcanological features. The marine life, together with the seabed and the archaeological ruins, makes a visit to the reserve a unique and captivating experience. It is now an important site for research, scientific training and environmental education and awareness-raising. Experts at the reserve organise various activities such as snorkelling and diving.
