Walking tour to the discovery of the Phlegraean lakes: Lucrino and Averno

A fantastic journey between history and myth, to discover the luxuriant Phlegraean nature and two of the most famous lakes of the “burning” fields: Lago di Lucrino and Lago d’Averno.
We will start from the Lago di Lucrino, today largely shrunk due to the eruption of September 1538 that created the Monte Nuovo in one night.
The name Lucrino derives from the latin word lucrum (profit) and referenced the fish and especially oyster farms that the Roman senator Sergio Orata had installed here around the year 90 BC, quickly becoming one of the richest men of the time.
In fact, the area was a luxurious holiday resort during the Roman era and, being one of the coastal settlements particularly loved by the Romans for the amenity of the places, saw the buildings of magnificent villas and residences of high-ranking people of the era, in a continuum that went from Puteoli to Baiae and Misenum.
We will continue with the second lake, Averno, famous all over the world as mentioned by Homer and Virgil, which is considered the entrance to Hades.
Here stands the Temple of Apollo, a large thermal complex of the imperial age.
Surrounded by vineyards, and by dense vegetation, as well as by a very rich avifauna, the Lago d’Averno can undoubtedly be considered the king of the Phlegraean lakes.
