The towns Sant’Agata sui due Golfi (390m above sea level) and Vico Equense
are popular destinations for hikers. Since the mid-19th century, visitors come to Sant’Agata to enjoy the healthy climate, beautiful landscape, and the hospitality of the people. Nature lovers like to travel to Vico Equense, whose quarter
Ticciano is situated in the midst of green hills high above the sea, and behind which rises the impressive Faito Mountain (1400m). Seaside vacationers, however, prefer the old fishing village Meta di Sorrento
because it has the only larger beach of the Sorrentinian Peninsula.
The tip of the Sorrento peninsula captivates with its vicinity to the beautiful islands of Capri, Ischia
, and Procida, the silhouettes of which you can see on a clear day. The islands are quick to reach, and, like Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast, are ideal trip destinations.
Many of the typical products of the region are made from the splendid lemons, like for
example Limoncello, the delicious lemon liqueur. Among the typical culinary delights are, of course, here as well pizza, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina (gnocchi with mozzarella and tomato sauce au gratin), buffalo mozzarella, which is made
into braids, the pear-shaped cheese Provolone del Monaco, and handmade ice cream in numerous flavours.
