Sorrento Peninsula
The magnificent natural scenery makes the Peninsula Sorrentine one of the most sought holiday destination in Italy.
Stretched out in the Tyrrhenian Sea almost to touch the island of Capri, it extends from Piano di Sorrento to Punta
Campanella, the watershed between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno.
Art and tradition characterize the coast towns, including the most famous is Sorrento: perched on an imposing cliff overlooking the sea, this enchanting town holds important classical and medieval remains, flanked by Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

There is no lack of opportunities for wellness tourism, such as the thermal baths of Vico Equense, one of the most picturesque town on the Sorrento coast.
But the real attraction of this area is its great natural beauty: the coastal road is one of the wonders of the Italian scenery.
Among citrus groves, vineyards and olive trees gently sloping down towards the sea, the path follows the tortuous profile of the coast, opening curve after curve spellbinding views of the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius and Capri.
The coast is high,craggy and rocky, with sheer limestone cliffs that crumble into the sea, coves and rocky shores.

From a geographic point of view the “coast of the Sirens” is the southern slope of the Sorrento Peninsula, which in the north closes the Gulf of Salerno.
The little villages that dot the “divine coast” are all to be explored, enjoying a clear blue sea, the stupefying views, the artistic treasures and the lively high society life. Shopping is also a venerated activity: in the characteristic boutiques of “Positano Fashion”, the ceramic shops of Vietri or sampling a delicious meal of traditional cuisine

Cilento Park
The Cilento has inspired poets and singers for centuries. Many of the Greek and Roman myths that are the basis of our Western culture have been set on its coast.
The most famous myth is that of the sirens in the Odyssey. The island that inspired the Poem of antiquity is probably in front of Punta Licosa, around Castellabate.

Another myth is that of Palinuro, the helmsman of Aeneas. During the trip to the coast of Lazio fell into the sea along with the rudder,
clinging to the wreck and for three days he had an exhausting struggle against the rough sea.
But when he finally got safely on the shore, was brutally killed by the inhabitants since then, this hill (the village of Palinuro) took the name of Capo Palinuro
