The Bay of Ieranto

The Sea of Sirens

Once we arrive in Nerano we board a comfortable boat and set off on the excursion through "the sea of  Sirens", accompanied by an expert guide.
The tour will allow us to discover the island of Li Galli, Punta Campanella and the beauty of the coast and the protected marine area. According to Pliny the Elder, the mythical sirens had their home off the splendid Bay of Ieranto, where Ulysses met them during his journey back to Ithaca.
A place of uncontaminated beauty located in front of the Faraglioni of Capri, in Massa Lubrense, the bay is included in the protected area of Punta della Campanella. On board the motor ship we will explore "li Galli" an archipelago of three islands also known as "La Sireneuse", because they are inhabited by mermaids. Among the most illustrious guests of this paradise in the Mediterranean were Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Sofia Loren and Jacqueline Kennedy.
Upon the death of the dancer Li Galli it was purchased by another Russian dancer, even better known to the general public, Rudolf Nureyev had fallen in love with Gallo Lungo and had planned to open a dance school on the island. It was subsequently purchased by a wealthy entrepreneur from Campania. A short distance away is the island of Iscla where there was the house of Eduardo De Filippo where he took refuge to write some of his masterpieces.
At the end of the boat tour, which will take us almost to the Faraglioni of Capri, we will return to Nerano where there will be lunch in a well-known restaurant with a fish-based menu. In the afternoon, guided walk in Sorrento, in the historic centre, with the possibility of tasting typical products such as lemon delight and limoncello. End of services
