Sorrento Coast Drivers Excursions
Naples
Italy's largest port, was named Neapolis (or new city) by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. The city's volcanic mix of galleries, ruins and futuristic office buildings reflect the tumultuous history. It is a vibrant, colourful, enthusiastic place. The proud home pizza, Pulcinella the clown, Sophia Loren and the ubiquitous Scugnizzo [street urchin] all these create a heady brew, so be amazed.
Pompeii - Vesuvius

The sea, the incomparable views, the picturesque small villages, the remains of ancient Roman villas, the towers and the caves have attracted to the island not only two Emperos, but also artist, musicians and writers who on Capri have found inspiration and have paid their ho mage.

 Positano - Amalfi - Ravello
The steep rocks hanging over the waves, as homer defined them in his odyssey, seem to fly off and rise up towards the sky, a rough design, sometime evenhorrid, but, for this reason, very delightfull like not many others. The Amalfi coast is the land of bewitching mermaids, who havebeen singing the sweet joy of oblivion since ever. The Amalfi coast has thousands stories to tell, among vineyards and gardens, balconies and precipices, alley and yards, hidden and denied to haste.
