Punta Campanella

Info
A Greek-Roman mule track hanging between the sea, the rock and the sky leads to the promontory that marks the natural border between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno
The scent of myrtle and lentisk hits you right away. Here, on the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, you feel truly suspended between the sea, the rocks, and the sky.
The Punta Campanella trail gently hugs the coastline. From Termini, a small village in Massa Lubrense, you follow the ancient Via Minerva: a mule track originally built by the Greeks and later rebuilt by the Romans, still welcoming travelers today.
Step by step, the sound of the waves grows louder, and your view widens more and more, until you reach Punta Campanella, where the impressive tower stands guard over the two gulfs of Naples and Salerno. From this peak, you can gaze out over the blue waters of Capri and the solid rocky silhouette of its Faraglioni.
This trail is steeped in legend. The song of the Sirens seems to linger in the air, mingling with the ancient stories of the land. Narrow paths, small gardens, stone staircases, and historic trails paved with stones lead you through a landscape that reflects the deep blue of the sea surrounding the Sorrento Peninsula.
The aromas of the Mediterranean scrub blend seamlessly with the flavors of this enchanted land: cheeses, cured meats, and the intricate maze of olive groves. And then, a sip of wine, mingling with the salty breeze. At Punta Campanella, the beauty is within reach of your gaze.
