Amalfi Coast
Campania offers a mix of spectacular views, dream bays, age-old culture and typical cuisine that will tempt you, all supported by a sweet and mild climate. The ideal starting point for our catamaran holiday in Campania is Marina d'Arechi in Salerno, at the entrance to the famous Amalfi Coast. We will admire the pearls of the Campania Archipelago, namely Capri, Ischia and Procida.
Capri
Capri is universally recognized as one of the most beautiful islands in the world, a concentration of uniqueness and breathtaking views just a few miles from the mainland. The town develops around the iconic "Piazzetta", and certainly needs no introduction. A tour of the luxury boutiques in Via Camerelle and the view of the Faraglioni from the viewpoint of Via Tragara are unmissable.
There is a second town, Anacapri: it is possible to climb Monte Solaro from which you can enjoy a spectacular view over the entire Gulf of Naples.
By catamaran we will discover a majestic coastline dotted with caves and very high cliffs. We will anchor under the iconic 100m high rock peaks, the Faraglioni di Terra, di Mezzo and di Fuori, a postcard scenario that must be seen once in a lifetime.
Ischia
A couple of hours by boat from Capri you will see the unmistakable silhouette of Ischia, the largest of the Flegrean Islands. The first conspicuous point is the spectacular Aragonese Castle, which dominates the bay of the same name with transparent water. To the south of the island we will anchor in the Bay of San Pancrazio, beautiful and wild under the cliff, and in front of the Spiaggia di Sant'Angelo, a lovely small port located in a privileged position. Along the northern coast we will stop for a refreshing swim at Seno di San Montano, a splendid black sand beach on which the Negombo Thermal Gardens are located, which exploit the sulfur springs present in large quantities in Ischia.
Procida
Procida on the other hand has managed to maintain a certain detachment from the classic tourist dynamics, allowing us to savor an authentic atmosphere that has captivated poets and artists from all over Europe. Corricella is an ancient marina with colorful houses, narrow paved streets with no trace of cars, traditional fishermen's fishing boats and nets hung out to dry in the sun, where time seems to have stopped a century ago.
Vietri
Famous for the production of ceramics that decorate all the main monuments of the village, it was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997, together with the entire Amalfi coast. Made up of many hamlets that embrace the Lattari Mountains up to the small gulf, from the Marina of Vietri sul Mare, proceeding towards the Divina coast, there are beautiful and uncontaminated beaches and basins that can only be reached by sea.
Cetara
Picturesque seaside village located at the foot of Mount Falerio, with the 16th century tower that watches over the entrance to the narrow port. The coastal town is famous for its strong fishing tradition. Both for what concerns the famous tuna fisheries, and for trawling, on board the cianciole, in search of anchovies, for the production of colatura.
Amalfi
The ancient maritime republic, already flourishing in the 9th century, was founded in Roman times. In 1343 a tsunami destroyed much of the city. Don't miss the Duomo, the church of Santa Maria a Piazza and the fountain of Sant'Andrea. Furthermore, every year, between the end of May and the beginning of June, the historical regatta of the ancient maritime republics takes place.
Positano
Splendid village perched on the side of a mountain, a holiday resort since the time of the Roman Empire, as attested by the discovery of an imperial-era villa under the church of Santa Maria Assunta. The very long stairways that from the top of the town reach down to the beach and the marina are very scenic. Positano beachwear takes its name from this characteristic village, an icon of Italian summer sweet life and beyond since the 1960s.
