Isola della Gaiola island

Isola della Gaiola is a cursed island located in the heart of Naples, Italy. In the 20th century, all the island's owners had tragic faith, though all of them were very rich and famous. Now this is a part of the National Park, and has no private owners. In fact, these are two smal islets connected by a bridge. So it's a perfect tourist attraction. The old manor is superb, while snorkeling around the island is also interesting, since ancient Greek ruins can be seen at the depth of 4 meters. Shore and seabed: stones. [edit]
