About LGBTQ+ Naples
Naples concentrates its gay scene in the elegant Chiaia district, home to Insolito Club and the terrace bar Babilonia, with Bar Fiorillo in Piazza Bellini popular with gay locals in the historic center. The city's Mediterranean Pride of Naples fills June with a parade and a week of events, one of the largest in southern Italy. A dense, historic port city famous for pizza and the bay's views toward Vesuvius, Naples pairs a loud, characterful street life with a scene centered on Chiaia and the old center.

The entrance of the sauna is very discreet and first-timers may need directions: it is located on the groundfloor of the block which goes from Via Giovanni Porzio parallel to Via Taddeo da Sessa. Access is either from Metro station Centro Direzionale through the business quarter or (probably easier for a first visit) from the central station or Metro station Garibaldi via the small staircase in Via Giovanni Porzio. The entrance to the sauna is the black iron door with a small label Sauna. Admission: ≈ 15 €
