Sailing Cruise in Amalfi Coast from Salerno

One of the iconic symbols of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, the lemons produced in this beautiful part of Campania have been prized for centuries for their intense flavor and healthy properties. The production of lemons on the steep and rocky cliff sides along the Sorrento Peninsula is anything but easy. Driving on the Amalfi Coast Road, you’ll spot terraces of lemon groves climbing high up the steep cliffs. It’s quite the experience to spot the bright yellow lemons caught somewhere between the majestic mountains and the blue Mediterranean Sea.

Stretching along the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula the Amalfi coast is one of the Mediterranean most breathtaking coastline. Declared one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape, the Amalfi Coast is characterised by the combination between mountain and sea.

The mountain plunges steeply into a sea, creating charming coves, deep fjords, cliffs, caverns, bays, natural arches and small pebble beaches. The roads hug the tight curves of the cliffy coast overlooking blue water that merges with the sky in one vast blue horizon; typical houses, painted in warm pastel colors, follow the natural slope of the foothills, creating very picturesque “postcard“ villages.

A highlight of the Amalfi coast vacation is a visit to Capri. The glamorous seaside getaway is an enchanting and picturesque island made of limestone rock on which herds of goat once used to roam (giving the name to the island). Once, a pleasure spot to Roman emperors and now Italy most glamorous seaside getaway.
