Il Sentiero Degli Dei

Reviewed By moot1 - Bristol, United Kingdom

I've wanted to do this walk for years ,and finally I got the chance. I was not disappointed. We were blessed with beautiful sunny February weather. It takes a fair bit of travelling from Sorrento, but the walk was actually easier and quicker than I'd thought. We walked the route from Nocelle back towards Positano. We used the sunflower guide which I highly recommend. We took the higher route - where the path goes off to the right by a house with a cross in the garden - the signage takes you to the lower route at this point, but apparently the higher route is more spectacular which makes sense, and it was certainly very lovely! The cafe at the end of the route is basic but has a beautiful view too so a good place to stop off before doing the steps down to the road, which was definitely the more tiring bit of the walk. We caught the bus back to Sorrento from a stop at the bottom of the steps rather than in Positano.

This part of Naples is full of crowded, colorful alleys full of shops, plastic rosaries, fresh seafood and famous artisan workshops specializing in the city's famous nativity scenes. The street officially starts at Piazza Gesù Nuovo

Via San Gregorio Armeno

The tradition of representing the Holy Family as true art lives on in this narrow street, which is crowded on both sides with hundreds of artisan workshops with colorful displays of Nativity scenes.

Reviewed By Stardoe

I'd heard about this street and went especially to see it. It did not disappoint, but I was very suprised at how narrow it is and how crowded. Most of the time we were like sardines. The shops are full of wonderful nativitities and all the separate ornaments that allow people to build their own. Nativities with moving parts are very popular and there was a huge variety ranging from about 25 euros well into the hundreds. The seperate ornaments start at about 4 euros for the really tiny ones. If you plan to build your own nativity, take plenty of cash as the variey of ornaments is massive and you won't be able to stop at just the main ones. The street is quite long so if you want to have a really good look in all or most of the shops, you need at least an hour or more, especially if it's really crowded.

Dramatic jagged cliffs, glistening Mediterranean water, a once in a lifetime trip to the Amalfi Coast. The most exquisite coastlines in the world.

Sant'Angelo (Serrara Fontana)

Reviewed By SunnyItaly - Budapest, Hungary

We had a half day visit to Sant Angelo, we took the bus from Ischia Casamicciola and went around the island until the end of the bus line. The little city has amazing houses, colorful and very nice and coloured tiles, which we loved. It was our goal to see this beautiful enchanting little village and take a bath in the sea. We also climbed up to the rocks, where many people were enjoying the sun. We took a boat instead and went to Maronti beach where we had a nice stay and ended our day by swimming in the deep blue and crystal clear water. You have to visit Sant Angelo, if you are on Ischia island!

Monte Epomeo

Reviewed By NiclasV21

It seems like most take the bus and then walk a couple of kilometers up to the top, firstly by a small road and the last bit by the trail. We took the long hike from Casamicciola and the shorter hike but still by trail back to the same starting point, giving us a nice daytrip of just under 6 hours, and also 13 kilometers of hiking through stunning scenery with spectacular views. The Restaurant on the top is a good place with an awesome view and a good break for coffee and something to eat. We took it kind of slow going up since we had a first time hiker with us.

This lovely little building houses a rather excellent exhibition of photographs by RAFFAELE CELENTANO which is well worth a look. Also when I went in July 2019 there was an exhibition on SOPHIA LOREN. Great views from the balcony AND a swing - try it out!
