IERANTO: “THE BAY OF SIRENS”

According to a Neapolitan writer “Ieranto comes last. In Ieranto the world ends” just to attend a literary suggestion, here conceived in “Tempo di cicale”. By the way, it is said that many voices together, human and animal, make a place in the heart: The Bay looks like from the ridge of Mount St. Costanzo, a privileged point on that stretch of the polychrome sea. And then the songs of the mythical winged creatures, they wanted to seduce Greek heroes and Latin poets and even seduces here, among Ieranto and the Lubrense Ateneo.

B) In the middle of a coastal village, vaguely of Amalfi, a cup of water, raised on Capri, is the path of Ieranto. It moves from the picturesque groups of houses of Nerano to join , step by step, with rumours of a mythical and literary landscape , alive and popular. A vast horizon, therefore, binds in one the islets of the Sirens (today Li Galli) and the crested rock (then Tre Pizzi): rock icons and bird sanctuaries, now as in the days of Ulysses.

THE PATH OF THE GODS: FLYING OVER THE AMALFI COAST

Among the “high” routes  of the Amalfi coast, this hike moves from Agerola to Positano and is by far the most famous hike you can do. The reason for this fame (which is recognized all over the world) is the constant ups and downs, the fantastic sheer vertical drops and lands cultivated in terraces.  You arrive at the final destination and the highlight of this hike, Punta Campanella ,which is apparently united to the stunning island of Capri.
