Destinations · Campania
Massa Lubrense the tip facing Capri
The far tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, with Capri within reach: fishing villages, protected bays and views over two gulfs.
The land of the sirens
In ancient times a sanctuary dedicated to Athena stood on Punta Campanella: according to myth, it was in these waters that Ulysses met the sirens. Today the coast is a protected marine area.
The municipality is made up of many villages, from Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi on the hill to fishing harbours such as the Lobra, Puolo and the Cantone.
Bays and flavours
The Bay of Ieranto, protected by FAI (the National Trust for Italy), is one of the most beautiful coves in the Mediterranean. A famous dish was born in Nerano: spaghetti with fried courgettes.
From Sant’Agata you can see both the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno at once.
