This scenic stop in Meta allows you to take photos and have a memory of picturesque Sorrento! Meta rises about 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 2.5 km², which includes both coastal areas, with more than 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, with the hamlet of Alberi, the 642-meter Mount Vico Alvano to the southeast, and part of the Camaldoli Mountains."Positano, the pearl of the Amalfi Coast: discover its pristine beaches, quaint alleys and breathtaking views. Explore its culture, unique cuisine and craft stores. "A Mediterranean paradise.Praiano is an ancient fishing village nestled on the ridge that descends from Mount S. Angelo to Tre Pizzi, toward Capo Sottile, in one of the most beautiful inlets of the Divine Coast, in the middle between Amalfi and Positano.The existence of the cave was unknown until 1932, when a fisherman by chance discovered its existence. The life of the fisherman, named Luigi Buonocore, changed totally, to such an extent that from the moment of discovery until his death the man was labeled as the "discoverer of the cave" (legend has it that Mr. Luigi was recognized on the street, until he took on the connotations of a "living myth"). The merit of this fisherman is truly enormous, since he brought to everyone's attention a wonderful space for tourist purposes, but also for scientific ones. Indeed, the cave is a magical realm, in which light takes on wonderful, fairy-tale connotations. When the sea is calm and the sun is high, the cave appears truly magical thanks to the reflections that the light is capable of generating.A cleft in the rock, immersed in wild nature that frames a small beach just 25 meters long: this is how the Fiordo di Furore appears, a small natural jewel in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. The geological conformation of the Fiordo di Furore has made it a safe place from enemy attacks over the centuries. These deep inlets and overhanging rocks are typical of northern European landscapes, and Furore too takes on the physical connotations typical of those fairytale landscapes, blending them, however, with Mediterranean smells and atmospheres; as in any place of enchantment, there is no shortage of legends here, as we shall see later. Since 1997 it has been included by UNESCO, with other places on the Amalfi Coast, in the World Heritage Sites. Furore, also with its 800 and more inhabitants has joined the club of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Italy.""Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast: experience the excitement of Amalfi, a plunge into the history, beauty and culture of one of Italy's most fascinating cities. Explore its unique architecture, its thousand-year history, its pristine beaches and its typical cuisine, discover the enchantment of this pearl of the Amalfi Coast."Ravello, a city of art on the Amalfi Coast: breathtaking views and historic gardens. Admire panoramic views of the coast and visit the famous gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, symbols of the town and a favorite destination of internationally renowned writers and artists. The remaining time of the tour will be spent transporting travelers from Naples to the attractions and back.The Monti Lattari Regional Park covers an area of about 16,000 hectares and includes different municipalities on the Sorrento-Amalfi Peninsula, such as: Cava de' Tirreni, Scala, Ravello, Tramonti, Vico Equense, Vietri sul Mare, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Nocera Inferiore, Postano and Praiano. Its territory is rich in tourist-patrimonial testimonies and is scattered with numerous historic centers, symbols of high urbanization, and environmental peculiarities that are expressed in an intimate union between two seemingly contradictory elements: the mountain and the sea.
