AMALFI COAST
Nowhere do the colours shine so different and clear as on the Amalfi Coast, which has always been an elegant destination for prestigious visitors. Set like incomparable gems in a precious diadem, the villages scattered along the coast capture every tourist, even the most crafty. Here everything becomes a symbol: the land rich in citrus fruits, the sea with the most incredible shades of blue and green, the picturesque beaches, small islands, clusters of white, pink, yellow houses around tiny ports.
Amalfi
In the blue serenity of the sky and the sea, Amalfi, if you look at it from the port, is enclosed like a cable in one hand. Above, the scenery of the mountains, articulated and moved like a backdrop dotted with houses; below, a picturesque plot of alleys, stairs, up to the breath of the large square where majestically dominates the cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew.
Positano
Positano is considered the pearl of the Amalfi coast, with its confusion of houses, domes, arches, its alleys and its thousand steps, which, defying gravity, climb the cliff.
Sorrento
Lying between fragrant parks and gardens full of orange and lemon groves, Sorrento, symbol of the coast, contains all its mystery and charm in the legend of Ulysses bewitched by the Sirens.
PARTHENOPEAN ISLANDS
Located in the Central Tyrrhenian Sea on the western side of the Italian coast, they are a sort of crowning of the Gulf of Naples. The archipelago consists of 3 main islands Capri, Ischia and Procida. Favorite destination, in the antiquity of the Roman emperors, you can still admire the works and villas. Places of unparalleled natural beauty also offer the possibility of a stay enlivened by high quality shopping, social and cultural events, in a unique atmosphere for its poetry.
Ischia
The largest of the Flegree, overlooked by Mount Epomeo, famous for its hydrothermal resources and mild and temperate climate, is a destination for international tourism. The dominant characteristic of the island is the luxuriant greenery, present not only on the tops of the very small rocks and in the vineyards, but also in the stones, which make up the typical "green tuff". The main port also serves as access to the island's inhabited area, which extends to the Aragonese Castle, whose construction dates back to the fifth century BC. Other ports are: Casamicciola, Forio d'Ischia and S. Angelo. The latter, built on the east side of a tongue of sand, which connects Punta S. Angelo to the mainland, is one of the most picturesque corners of the island whose naturalness has remained unchanged.
Procida
Certainly the least known among the Neapolitan islands, it originates from some extinct volcanoes. The coast, sheer to the sea, is of a tufaceous nature, but moving inland, the island is undulating and rich in gardens and vegetable gardens. The marine and terrestrial environment are perfectly integrated and create, between them, a wonderful and incomparable union. The main port of the island is Marina di Procida, a fishing village, it includes two large basins, the eastern one can be used by yachtsmen. To the south of the island you can visit the Corricella, a fishing port, where the famous film "Il Postino" by Massimo Troisi was filmed, and the Chiaiolella, a very pretty fishing village, with pink or yellow ochre houses, a safe landing place sheltered from almost all winds. In summer, the most important festival is the Sagra del del Mare, in honour of "Graziella", the protagonist of the homonymous novel by Alfonso La Martine.
Capri
Its name derives from the Greek Kapros (Island of the wild boars) and is formed by two municipalities, Capri and Anacapri. Its coasts are very high and jagged, the maximum height is the Monte Solare (586 m. above sea level) from which you can enjoy a wonderful view over the whole Gulf of Naples. Its temperate and very humid climate favours a luxuriant flora. The only port on the island, located on the northern coast is Marina Grande, but it is possible to anchor in the east or west of the latter, or in the case of north winds in the bight of Marina Piccola (on the side of the island).
From Marina Grande you can reach Capri either on foot or by funicular. During Roman times, 12 villas were built on the island, the remains of which can still be visited. The inlets to visit are: the Cala di Matermania, the Cala Ventroso, the Grotta Bianca, the Grotta Verde and the famous Grotta Azzurra. Very famous is the Piazzetta of Capri. On May 14, San Costanzo is celebrated with a procession through the streets of Capri.
