Land of great traditions and myths, the Sorrento Peninsula coast is, from a naturalistic point of view, one of the most beautiful and luxuriant stretches of the Italian coast , both for the terrestrial and underwater environment. The 40 km of coasts of the Peninsula represent a unique natural environment. The Marine Protected Area of Punta Campanella was instituted in 1997 to protect and preserve the marine environment and the natural resources of the area.

A Unique Tour in the Siren Land

The territory of a Marine Protected Area is divided into areas with different degrees of protection.
Thanks to a special authorization granted by the M.P.A. Managing Body, we can access even the areas with the top degree of protection like Li Galli and Ieranto Bay (but not the Vervece Rock). 
The authorizathion allows us to access the yellow and red areas, navigate in them and stop in them using the M.P.A. buoys. 

It is a unique occasion to see up close the most beautiful places in the area and discover the most fascinating places of our land.
