Baia di Sorgeto

Campania

Underground volcanic activity heats the water here to near-bathing temperature in natural rock pools that mix with the cooler sea, a free alternative to Ischia's many paid thermal parks. Steps descend a fairly steep path from the clifftop village of Panza, and the pools are especially popular, and steamy, on winter evenings.
