Sorrento Peninsula,
Italy

The breathtakingly beautiful Sorrento Peninsula greets charter yacht visitors with its deep valleys, towering mountains, hillsides terraced with olive groves, vineyards, and fruit trees, and exquisite gardens. Nestled within the Peninsula are stunning villas and hotels, nature walks, thermal treatments in Scajo’s waters, and the archaeological sites of the necropolises of Awqua and Deserto. Museums include the Mineraology Museum, Museo Correale, Museum workshop of wooden tarsia, and the Museum of Villa Fondi.

The locals are fond of cultural festivities, which run year round. They include Carnival, an Easter procession that crosses the entire Peninsula, and numerous summer and autumn feasts. Crafts to buy include the wooden tarsia and gourmets will enjoy liquers distilled from locally grown lemons, tangerines, oranges and nuts.

"We had never heard of the Pontine Islands before you suggested them. Italy has so much to offer and so many islands to see, and of course, who can miss Capri. This charter was once again, way beyond expectations."
