Overview

A unique journey, suitable for all ages.
From Capo di Sorrento to Positano, crossing Massa Lubrense, the two coasts and the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, the tour develops entirely within the boundaries of a Marine Protected Area, and aims to make visitors appreciate its emerged and submerged beauties.
The tour includes three swimming stops in unforgettable settings, such as:
- The Bay of Ieranto, a place of timeless charm. A rich marine biodiversity, with over 270 species recorded, in a unique setting, between Mediterranean scrub and remains of industrial archaeology.
- Li Galli. Three islets already famous in ancient times that form a small and suggestive archipelago a few miles from the coast. In the past, home of the great Russian dancer Nureyev. Swimming here, with a fantastic sea and a breathtaking view, is an unforgettable experience.
- Tordigliano Beach, zone C of the MPA. It is the largest beach in the protected marine area, uncontaminated and wild.
