The steep southern edge of the Sorrento peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples, is famous for its medieval villages perched above plunging cliffs with near-vertical vineyards and lemon orchards. Combined with the rugged landscape of the Monti Lattari further inland, and the idyllic islands of Capri and Ischia, this whole region also makes a perfect holiday destination for walkers.
