Cuna is a cool Greek and roman ruin near Baia that is never crowded and worth a visit if your in the Napoli area. This tunnel is where the Oracle of Sybil sat and did whatever it is that oracles do. Lots of other cool ruins here too.
Inside the Sybil's cave. The park is quite expansive with lots of beautiful views of the area.
