Day 3: Head for the Wild West
Rent a car from Sorrento and take in the mountains and seascapes in this little-known corner. Leave
town on the minor coastal road, winding through groves of olive and lemon trees. Dip down to the
beach at Marina di Puolo, admire the view of Capri from the lookout in Massa Lubrense and head for
dramatic Punta della Campanella. Continue to Nerano, and walk to Baia di Leranto beach (the walk
takes about an hour), before carrying on to tranquil Sant'Agata sui due Golfi and doubling back to
Sorrento.
Accommodation
If you are planning on exploring beyond the coast, Sorrento has the best transport connec-
tions and is a good base. Positano, Amalfi and Ravello have some of the classiest accom-
modation in Italy, ranging from sumptuous
palazzi
to exquisite B&Bs. Book ahead in
summer and remember most hotels close over the winter. For more information, see the

DON'T MISS
This is one of the most stunning and accessible regions for exploring on foot. There are numerous well
marked trails ranging from straightforward strolls on reasonably level terrain to more taxing puff-you-
out hikes.
