NATURAL SITES

The beauty of the landscape, the mildness of the climate, the healthiness of the air, the fertility of the earth.

    The Path of the Gods

    A panoramic itinerary unique in the world that develops for about 10 km from the town of Agerola to the city of Positano. The name with which this nature trail is called derives from historical facts and legends according to which the Greek gods passed through here to save Ulysses from the sirens who were on the island of Li Galli. The beauty of this path also lies in the absolute absence of the hand of man; the entire path is as Mother Nature has conceived it and subsequently shaped it over the centuries.

    Capua and the ancient Appian Way

    Following the ancient Appian Way, you can stop in Capua to admire the Campania Amphitheater. This majestic Roman amphitheatre in the city of Capua is the second largest in Italy, after the Colosseum, and was also the location of the first and most famous gladiator school. There is also the Mithraeum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, and the historic center of the city, where there is the splendid abbey of Sant'Angelo in Formis.

    The Emerald Cave

    The Emerald Grotta is located about 5 km from Amalfi, precisely in the bay of Conca dei Marini. Discovered by chance in 1932, this cave reveals itself as a truly fairytale-looking place. The light that filters through the rocks, as well as creating very special effects, gives the water an emerald green color. The cave can be visited either by land, by going down with a special elevator or stairs, or by sea, thanks to small boats driven by local operators.

    Bosco di San Silvestro

    Once known as the Royal Estate of San Silvestro, this green corner was part, together with San Leucio, of the Royal Park of the Royal Palace of Caserta. The complex, which extends over two hills in an area of about 76 hectares, is currently a WWF Oasis that manages visits and organizes various initiatives. A part of the forest is used for the cultivation of the "Vigna di San Silvestro", which is a typical local vine whose grapes are used for producing white and red Pallagrello wine.

    Belvedere della Certosa di San Martino

    It overlooks the Gulf of Naples, and it offers you the opportunity to enjoy a spectacular view. Your gaze can sweep over the gulf, the roofs and domes of the city center of Naples: you can see Spaccanapoli, the bell tower of S. Chiara, Castel Nuovo, and the Galleria Umberto I; you can also see Capri and Capodimonte.

    Vesuvius National Park

    Vesuvius is a volcano located in the Vesuvius National Park and one of the most fascinating attractions in Campania. It is famous all around the world for its eruption of 79 AD. The ash and the lapilli ejected during the eruption destroyed many ancient cities, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, which are now important archaeological sites.

    Valle Della Ferriere

    Of all the natural parks and the most pristine places in Campania, Valle delle Ferriere is, perhaps, the most beautiful. It is nestled between Ravello and Amalfi. In the valley, you can walk along the banks of a long stream that reaches the sea. You will also find the ruins of ancient structures where iron was once extracted from.
