Pass By: Bagni Regina Giovanna, Traversa Punta Capo, 80067, Sorrento Italy
The Bagni della Regina Giovanna are located on the promontory of Punta Capo in Sorrento, to be precise they are located on the coast of the Marine Protected Area of Punta Campanella. It is a magnificent natural swimming pool a few steps from the center of Sorrento, a small natural oasis. The Baths are located near the villa of Pollio Felice, a Roman patrician of the 1st century BC. The Villa was immense, consisting of about 30,000 square meters, but unfortunately today it is possible to admire only the ruins. The poet Orazio and the poet Stazio also narrated the magnificence of the villa. The name of the Baths derives from Queen Giovanna II of Anjou-Durazzo. In fact, it is said that in the period from 1371 to 1435 the queen loved to spend the summer in Sorrento and that she spent her time with her lovers right in the waters of the Capo di Sorrento.

A freezing semi-underwater shower. It is the “Cascatella” as it is called here, a drop of water that gives the bay its name. It seems that this water was conveyed there many centuries ago by means of an aqueduct with the aim of supplying the boats that went to Punta della Campanella and Capri.

Pass By: Cala di Mitigliano, Via Scola, 80061, Massa Lubrense Italy
Cala di Mitigliano is an inlet between Punta Baccoli and, further west, Fossa Papa. The tiny pebble beach is one of the most pleasant of those enclosed in the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area. To the east of the latter there is a tower-shaped construction with a circular base: perhaps used in the past, when the quarry was in operation. The main attraction of the cove remains, however, the Mitigliano cave, which overlooks the island of Capri. The ravine, formed thanks to a source of fresh water, is a strong attraction for those who wish to immerse themselves in crystal clear waters.
Pass By: Baia di Ieranto, Massa Lubrense Italy
The only cove at the end of the Sorrento peninsula, it has fueled myths and legends between the silvery green of the olive trees and the crystalline blue of the bay, between the landscape of the stacks it overlooks and the traces of a recent industrial past. It was in fact donated to FAI by Italsider in 1987.
Right in front of the stacks of Capri, the Bay of Ieranto opens into a natural setting of such wonder that even the Sirens chose it as their home. According to Pliny the Elder, it was exactly here that Ulysses met them, during his return to Ithaca as told by Homer in the Odyssey.
Pass By: Punta Campanella, Massa Lubrense Italy
it is the junction between the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, a strip of land that stretches out over the Mediterranean and which once seemed to be connected with the Island of Capri.
Punta Campanella is a territory of history and legends: according to the Odyssey here Ulysses met the enchanting Sirens, the Greeks erected a temple to the goddess Athena, then converted by the Romans to the cult of the goddess Minerva. In 1300 a tower was built here which had the purpose of sighting and sounding the alarm in case of raids by the Saracens coming from the sea. A bell was placed on the top of the tower which rang in case of alarm, propagating the signal to the other towers positioned along the coast.
Pass By: Marina del Cantone, 80061, Massa Lubrense Italy
open and sleepy bay, suggestive refuge for those who love the sea and prefer to stay outside the most famous destinations.
Marina del Cantone overlooks the Gulf of Salerno and is located between the bay of Ieranto and Recommone. It is renowned for its pebble beaches and clear waters. It is the ideal place for those who want to indulge in a typical lunch in one of its many restaurants on the water. In fact, it is said that the famous recipe for pasta alla nerano was born here, from the proper name of the municipality that hosts this locality, precisely Nerano.
Stop At: Spiaggia di Recommone, Massa Lubrense Italy

The small pebble beach is located at the end of a fjord and is almost invisible from the sea. Today the place is uninhabited but until a few years ago the marina was still frequented by fishermen who, along about 700 steps, descended from Torca to support their families.
At the beginning of its foundation, the abbey of San Pietro was ruled by Benedictines Neri and we have the first certain news from the year 1111.

Became a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the magnificent “Vertical City” of the Amalfi coast has been a holiday resort since Roman times. It is truly a magical place overlooking the sea, a surreal set of colors and shapes that offers emotions that only this area reserves.
Tradition and legend then want the vertical town to have prehistoric origins, and owe its legendary fame to the first Greek and then Roman frequentation. The myth of the Sirens or that of the Byzantine Black Madonna preserved in the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta first went through the Angevin domination, then the Aragonese one, the Baroque and the prosperity of 1600 and 1700, not losing up to the present day that aura of mystery and prestige that even today the inhabitants of Positano feel particularly close and to which they are very attached.
