| The
Sorrento Peninsula, with its lush Mediterranean vegetation,
rocky cliffs and turquoise sea, offers one of the most
beautiful panoramas of the Campania. It is in the southern
strip of the peninsula that the famous Amalfi Coast
stretches out along the sea, the so-called land of the
mermaids, where the crystal-clear sea and the artistic
and historic jewels such as Positano, Ravello and Amalfi
have become tourist destinations known throughout the
world. The white houses of Amalfi are spread out on
terraces along the slope of a basin, facing the sea,
amidst the perfume of the vineyards and fruit orchards
and the colours of the beautiful gardens. In front of
Naples shine the luxuriant islands of Ischia and Capri,
from the steep coasts, hallowed out into thousands of
underground caves by the infinite breaking of the waves.
With their elegant alleys, fashionable pubs, enchanting
piazzas and romantic and breathtaking views, such as
the famous Faraglioni, these islands express the art
of living best, the pleasures and irresistible suggestions
of the Neapolitan culture. |
