From Agerola to Nocelle through paradise

Just behind Amalfi, a lush wood with fern-lined streams.

A historic watchtower perched above the coast.

Following in the steps of pilgrims to a historic hermitage.

On the most extreme point of the Sorrentine Peninsula, home of the mythical Sirens.

A sacred place, where the beauty of nature evokes an almost reverential silence.
