- According to ancient legends, they were inhabited by mermaids who seduced sailors with their melodious voices. They then lost control of their ships, which crashed inexorably onto the rocks of the islands.
- Regularly visited by Tiberius, protected by the Angevins with the Tower to deter looters from taking refuge there, the islands are now inhabited by residents of interest, including the choreographer Leonide Massine (who built a magnificent villa here on the ruins of an ancient Roman villa later decorated by the architect Le Corbusier) and the legendary ballet dancer, Rudolph Nureyev.

It was here, among the picturesque 'monazzeni' (fisherman's dwellings), that the stormy relationship between Roberto Rossellini and Nannarella began during the filming of 'L'Amore'.

Your destination —
Amalfi Coast

Experience fine Italian dining in Positano, marvel at stunning ocean views from alpine Ravello, and step back in time in historic Pompeii.
Ischia
Capri
The magnificent Isle of Capri emerges from the Tyrrhenian Sea, facing the Sorrento peninsula. It became famous in 1826, following the discovery of the Grotta Azzurra (Azure Cave). Capri is adored by travellers, stars and intellectuals alike, popular with tourists because of its beautifully manicured gardens, impossibly blue sea, and bougainvillea tumbling down the facades of the elegant villas that you will see at every turn.
The Roman emperor Tiberius, who self-exiled on the island was one of the first to remain charmed by it: the magnificent villa Jovis, also known as "palazzo di Tiberio" (Tiberius' palace), a 45-minute walk from the small church of St. Michael, belonged to him.
Procida
Procida may be the smallest island in the Gulf of Naples, but what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in splendour. Get your camera at the ready as you wander through picturesque streets lined with pastel-coloured houses that simply beg to be captured on film.
An island filled with locals rather than tourists, in Procida you'll get an authentic glimpse Italian nonnas hanging out their washing, butchers laying out their produce for the day, and fisherman getting ready to head out to sea. Relax, sip on a frothy cappuccino while tasting a local pastry, visit the fifteenth-century walled city of Terra Murata and unwind on Postino beach with dramatic cliffs rising in the background.
