The song Torna Sorrento (Return to Sorrento) speaks of the beautiful sea & the lovely gardens of this town situated on a cliff overlooking the Bay of Naples, across from Mt. Vesuvius. The road from Sorrento progresses along the Amalfi Coast & the Isle of Capri is only a short ride away by hydrofoil.

The town of Amalfi is one of many along the scenic Amalfi Coast. Perched at a seemingly impossible angle on a hillside 500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea these towns are a tribute to the ingenuity of Italian builders.

Carved into the mountainside in the center of the Amalfi coast Positano seems to rise from the Mediterranean. Quaint and picturesque with breathtaking views this town is filled with charm and romance.

Naples, the largest port city on the Mediterranean, is also known as the birthplace of pizza. Once you leave the busy city streets behind, the Naples waterfront district is pretty & trendy, lined with waterfront cafe's & 4 star hotels. The hulking form of  Mt . Vesuvius looms on the horizon.
