Further south and you’ll find yourself along the Gulf of Salerno where the famed towns of Amalfi and Positano preside. Leaving mainland Naples will bring you to the intoxicatingly mysterious Flegrean Islands – Ischia, Procida, Vivara, and Nisida. A maritime tradition here dates back to Homer during his crusade sailing across the Tyrrhenian Sea and later prominent islands during the Roman Republic. Sailing and seacoast life is the backbone of their society celebrated by local residents and transient sailors alike.
