Resorts
Amalfi, Salerno
More infoAmalfi, 24 miles southeast of Naples, lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto and is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery. The town was an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and around 1200, and the nautical history is very apparent even today.
Atrani, Salerno
More infoAtrani neighbours the more famous Amalfi but is no less spectacular. Today, Atrani maintains it's traditional fishing town atmosphere. Climbing from the beach, the traditional houses wind their way up the steep mountain valley, intertwined with beautiful gardens and criss-crossed by vibrant lemon terraces.
Massalubrense, Naples
More infoMassalubrense is an equally perfect choice for the active and those wanting a peaceful break, with more than 100 km of marked trails in the country side, fame brought by its cuisine and a coastline almost 20 miles long. It is ideally placed for exploting the region, from Capri to Naples.
Positano, Salerno
More infoPositano is famous for its buildings that cling, in tiers, to the almost-vertical rock face. The vilagers contrast the bright white of the buildings by decorating their houses with bright flowers. Visitors will be enchanted by the array of small artisan shops and wonderful restaurants that specialise in local fresh fish dishes.
Sant'Agata
More infoThe peaceful traditional village of Sant' Agata provides an ideal holiday base with all the necessary shops, banks, chemists and some fine restaurants but located in the middle of the Sorrento Peninsula, providing easy access to the entertainment and cultural delights of Positano and Sorrento.
