LI GALLI BOAT EXCURSION

What a beautiful romantic and memorable afternoon Brian and I experienced on our private boat excursion to the Li Galli Islands on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Giocando, our tour guide for the boat excursion, met us at Positano port where we boarded an Itama classic open yacht or traditional wooden Sorrentine boat.  We cruised the Amalfi Coast to Nerano, a charming fishing village situated halfway between Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. Its name derives from the Emperor Tiberio Nerone, who used to spend much of his free time here in the village of Neronianum, today known as Nerano. We sailed all the way to the Punta Campanella, which links the Sorrentine Peninsula with the Amalfi Coast. A land of myths and legends, this narrow strip of land stretches out to sea as if wishing to be reunited with the nearby island of Capri, from which it was separated many thousands of years ago. Here we saw Capri in the distance, the Gulf of Naples, and the Gulf of Salerno.   Onward to the Li Galli Islands, also known as Le Sirenuse. This tiny private archipelago of three atolls off the Divine Coast is dubbed "the dance island,” and not just because it's shaped like a dancing dolphin. Its most famous owner was Russian ballet star Rudolf Nurevev one of the most celebrated dancers of the 20th century.
