About this experience
Join your experienced skipper in Sorrento and venture into the crystal clear Mediterranean waters. Discover the Saracen Towers and the Li Galli island, a small archipelago situated to the south of the Sorrento peninsula. This marine section is famous in myth for being the home of the sirens who bewitched fishermen and sailors, the same ones praised by Homer in the Odyssey.
After a fast lunch and a swim, explore the beauties of Positano. Visit the pebble beaches, narrow café-lined streets, Church of Santa Maria Assunta, or even go for a scenic swim. Then, take in panoramic views of the village and the Mediterranean Sea below as you travel further along the coast.
Finally, reach Amalfi, the final stop of the tour. Enjoy a free afternoon to devote to culture, shopping and relaxation. Don’t miss the iconic Sant'Andrea Cathedral, home to eclectic Byzantine, Norman, and Moorish architectural styles.
Later, you will return to the dock and be transferred back in Sorrento.
