Could the Gulf of Naples have been created to celebrate love? The vestiges of the ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum remind us of both the beauty and fragility of our world. Under the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius, Neapolitans live life with passion! Maybe it's because of the incomparable landscapes found along the Amalfi Coast and on the islands of Capri and Ischia, where you’ll find an endless series of botanical gardens, sandy beaches, and rugged coves and inlets. You can swim in search of moray eels and mermaids before sitting down to relax on a cafe terrace. Everything here exudes elegance, including the last home of Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti...
Sometimes intriguing, always fascinating, Naples has plenty to recommend it. Brave the crowds and embrace the chaos of the historic quarter in order to explore the priceless gems left behind by centuries of history. Visit the Cloister of Santa Chiara, stop off at Pintauro to try the sfogliatella fresh out of the oven, or find somewhere to sit down on the sunny terrace at Caffé Gambrinus opposite the San Carlo theater. Then you’ll be ready to take on the archaeological museum, or venture up to Capodimonte to take in the magnificent view of the gulf. ... Learn moreless

Is it because of its name meaning “land of the mermaids” that Sorrento attracts divers? Snorkeling and diving spots abound along the peninsula amidst shipwrecked ruins, grottoes and caves.

"Can beauty be told? You could try perhaps… but you have to see beauty with your own eyes, contemplate it with your own soul. Our spirit, which needs beauty to develop and become calm again , opens up to beauty by contemplating harmony.
Our land: the Sorrento peninsula– the beauty of which can be contemplated from the gently sloping hillside facing the Golf of Naples, interspersed with Olive trees, or from the one overlooking the Amalfi Coast with its breathtaking cliffs and lemon-tree-surrounded little houses– offers boundless harmony. Apart from the two hillsides, there also are the Golf's islands of Capri, Ischia, Procida, and the majestic but never-tamed Mount Vesuvius, which seems to recall the hands of the merciful Father from Rembrandt's painting, at the same time generous and loving in the gift of wealth, but equally strong and full of raw energy. That's how we see being in a land whose magic you can fully enjoy just by looking at it with your own eyes.
Points of reflection can abound; the deep marks of history, the dreams of people who lived through history and are living through it are laid out before the eyes of this land which is experiencing it and before those of visitors who come to admire it. Our hope is that everyone, sooner or later, gets the chance to enjoy the beauty around us."
