Bay of green rocks: a natural swimming pool in Naples

There are some places in Naples that are real unspoiled oases. Bay of green rocks in Posillipo is one of them! A little hidden, which makes it even more fascinating! It is part of a structure called Villa Fattorusso which is right next to the bay! Today the Bay is renowned not only for its charm and its crystal clear waters, but also for kayak tours . Bay of green rocks is the perfect starting point to reach the Gaiola . The famous underwater park as well as marine protected area elected as the best in Italy.

The tours, on the other hand, are around twenty euros with a guide who will explain the places step by step.
If you decide to rent it, I tell you that the right time in my opinion is 3 hours. From the bay of green rocks to the island of Gaiola, 3 hours are enough! After the Gaiola, paddling a little, you will also find baia Trentaremi . If you manage to reach it well, otherwise give up! Even if you get there, I recommend you rent it for 6 hours!

As I said earlier, the bay is privately owned and there is no free beach. There is, however, the possibility of stopping in a small cove just before exiting the bay. You can find it on the left and it is exactly where I took this photo! There is only room for 2 kayaks, so first make sure there is space and stop. Enjoy 5 minutes of relaxation before leaving by taking a bath in crystal clear water.
