Some examples of daily excursions in Sorrento,
Naples or Amalfi Coast:
NAPLES AND POMPEII A journey to
discover art, history,
folklore and archeology
in one of the most
typical regions of
southern Italy, Campania
Felix, Pompeii.
Naples is
rich in history with
buildings, churches and
monuments dating back
centuries. Pompei holds
an intense fascination
for visitors today.
Following the eruption
of the volcano Mount
Vesuvius in the year 79
AD, Pompei lay buried
and forgotten for
hundreds of years and
the excavations begun in
the 18th Century are
still being carried out
today. You can see the
past prosperity of the
town in the Roman
villas, bathhouses and
temples which have been
unearthed. Even an
amphitheatre has been
found. :.

AMALFI COAST
The "Amalfi
Drive" is said to be one
of the most spectacular
roads in Europe and from
Sorrento the winding
cliff top road offers
breathtaking panoramic
views from every bend.
Amalfi, now a thriving
holiday resort, was once
a powerful and
prosperous marine
republic, and homeland
of Flavio Gioia, the
inventor of the compass.
The beautiful cathedral,
stands at the top of
steps leading up from
the main square, and
houses the remains of
the patron saint of
Amalfi, Saint Andrew. A
day spent between Amalfi,
Positano, Praiano and
Ravello. :.
REQUEST :.
SORRENTO COAST
A
trip through the hills
of Sorrento, from where
there are magnificent
views of the Bay.
The origin and name of
Sorrento are lost
between myth and
historical reality.
There is certainly a
connection with the myth
of the sirens, so widely
believed around the gulf
of Naples ever since
ancient times. The
sirens were mythical
beings, half woman and
half bird, whose singing
caused sailors to run
their vessels aground,
on the rocks. :.
