Sorrento Coast

The Sorrento Coast is a jagged promontory that
shores up the southern end of the Bay of Naples.
This peninsula of hilly terrain ends abruptly at
a cliff that plunges sheerly down to the
Mediterranean sea. The entire coastline around
Sorrento was a Greek colony during the period of
Magna Grecia, the legendary site of Homer's
sirens, before being conquered by the Romans who
enjoyed the area as a summer playground. It has
maintained a reputation as an exclusive resort
destination ever since. It boasts a mild climate,
gorgeous panoramas and citrus-scented air.   From
the Sorrento Coast, views sweep along the bay to
Naples, Mount Vesuvius and across the water to
the island of Capri.

Castellammare di Stabiais is a comune in Campania
region, situated on the Bay of Naples. It lies
next to the ancient Roman city of Stabiae, which
was destroyed by the Vesuvio eruption in A.D. 79.
The castle, of the city it takes its name from,
was erected around the 9th century on a hill
commanding the southern side of the Gulf of
Naples. It was restored during the reign of
Frederick II of Hohenstaufen and enlarged by King
Charles I of Anjou
