Napoli – Island of Ischia (Amalfi Coast)
The Amalfi Coast stretches about 50 km (31 mi) and it’s comprised of wonderful sunny beaches, secluded coves, wonderful sea bottoms and sea caves.
Our journey to discover the Amalfi Coast starts from Naples. It’s one of the most densely populated cities in Europe, rich with history, traditions, and world records: most notably the invention of pizza. The city is located by the sea, at the foot of the Vesuvius volcano which will gift you with unforgettable views. It’s no coincidence that Goethe famously wrote: “See Naples and die”.
Sliding on the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Naples we head south until we reach Sorrento, the second stop of our tour. This lively and romantic city sprawls over a suggestive cliff overlooking the sea. Sorrento will delight you with a unique sensory experience through breathtaking views, its narrow roads full of historic villas and the smell of ripe tomatoes.
From the port of Sorrento, our cruise reaches the world-renowned Island of Capri. The island is part of the Campanian Archipelago and it’s located off the Sorrento peninsula. The coast is rocky and rugged with several sea caves, coves and cliffs. The most famous sea cave is the “Grotta Azzurra” (Blue Grotto) in which you can witness incredible luminous effects, thanks to the sunlight passing through a semi-submerged cavity and shining through the water.
We continue further south to reach Positano. The beauty of this city seems to be defined by its contradictions: it’s located precisely by the sea, but the city has been built vertically. Typical are the many very tall staircases that from the top of the city centre bring the tourists directly to the seashore (the most famous beaches are Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo). Positano is a timeless city thanks to its buildings, dating back to the Roman Empire, its old churches and its ancient watchtowers.
Our tour of the Amalfi Coast continues as we arrive in the city of Amalfi. The city gives its name to the entire coast because it is its main geographical and historic centre, its little jewel. Visiting Amalfi means to let yourself be conquered by the view of the towers on top of sea cliffs, by the shining marble fountains, by the churches and by the historic Arab-Norman monuments.
To reach the last stop of our yacht tour, we have to cross the Gulf of Naples again, going north this time. The Island of Ischia is part of the Phlegrean Islands and it’s the third most densely populated island in Italy. The area has volcanic origins and, thanks to that, its hot springs are well known across Europe. One of the main attractions is the characteristic old small sea village of fishermen.
