Pedals and panoramas: walking in Massa Lubrense by bike

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 
Cycling gives us the opportunity to explore the surrounding world in a more intimate way. Thanks to it we can immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature and grasp details often neglected. In addition, cycling allows us to explore nature more carefully and calmly, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscapes without damaging them.

In this regard, in Massa Lubrense you can take part in guided bike tours. We had the opportunity to interview Fabio, founder and cycling guide of Enjoy Bike Sorrento, who shared with us interesting information about it.

bike

Welcome Fabio! Tell us about Enjoy Bike, when was it born and why?

We were born in 2018. Initially it was a competitive sports association of cycling. Over time I added this type of activity to make sure that even people who do not practice cycling at a competitive level can have fun by bike, with shorter and less tiring experiences. 

What types of services do you offer?

We mostly offer guided tours in Massa Lubrense, in Costiera Amalfitana and on Vesuvio. Our itineraries can last hours or cover the whole day. We offer both tours with pedal assist bike and tour with racing bikes, for the most trained people.

Why choose a bike? What advantages or benefits does it offer? 

The bike can offer you a special experience for the discovery of the territory: you can stop in places where with the bus or the car you could not. In addition, it is a not intense sports activity that is good for both body and mind. 

Why people should make a bike tour in Massa Lubrense? What makes it unique?

In Massa Lubrense we organize 70% of our tours because compared to other areas it is a less touristy place and therefore offers a more peaceful experience. It is a very fascinating area that most tourists do not expect to visit, but that leaves everyone surprised.

What makes your tours special? 

What makes them special is the territory in which they are held. We also try to make them memorable through the discovery of places not very touristy and local realities that are usually little visited and known. For example, there is a tour called At the Al Vivaio in E-Bike that allows you to visit a citrus grove where the Sorrento Lemon is grown. This is a special experience in which our customers, in addition to the bike experience, have the opportunity to discover the whole history of the lemon typical of the area, from when it is planted until when a lemon tree is born. In addition, we combine some of our tours with other experiences, such as tastings or cooking classes.

Can everyone participate or are specific requirements required?

All people can participate, the only requirement is to be healthy. Being for the most part tours with the pedal assistance, we happen to bring into the excursion also people no longer young, but who are still skilled in pedaling. On request, we also organize tours for families with children, provided they already have a minimum of cycling experience.

Is it possible to customize the tours?

Yes, we also do private tours and specific itineraries according to customer needs. For example, one factor that is taken into account is where customers are accommodated. 

What advice would you give to those who wish to have this experience?

Often, when people consider the experience of cycling, they become discouraged by thinking about the busy areas. We recommend the activity because we are committed to exploring quiet areas of our territory. In addition, we carefully select the moments for our tours, ensuring maximum safety to our customers.

The charm of Torca and its hidden treasures

Category:Blog,Places Tags : 

Torca is a fraction of the municipality of Massa Lubrense, located on the southern side of the Sorrento peninsula.

The marina of Torca, Crapolla, probably hosted a Greek temple dedicated to Apollo in ancient times. The etymological origin of the name “Torca” could therefore derive from the “Theorica” ​​street. Indeed, they were frequented by long processions called “Theoriae” directed towards the aforementioned temple

According to the tradition, it is believed that Saint Pietro landed in Crapolla during his journey to Rome. Subsequently, the Abbey of San Pietro was built on the presumed site of the temple of Apollo, a monastery affiliated to the order of Black Benedictine friars. The original structure of the abbey included three naves with columns made of marble and granite, frescoes narrating the Stories of the Holy Scriptures and floors decorated with mosaics.

The Chapel of San Pietro now stands on the area of ​​his remains. It can be reached via the path that leads from the small square of Torca to the fjord. Made with the same stones used to build the original abbey, the chapel represents a tangible link with the past.

The trails that pass through Torca

In Torca the roadway ends, leaving space for a network of paths that wind through landscapes that are breathtaking for their natural and wild beauty.

Crapolla

The Crapolla fjord is among the most evocative natural coves of the Sorrento Peninsula. Accessible exclusively on foot, via a well-marked path, the route from Torca is characterized by a notable difference in altitude of around 350 meters and a long staircase of around 700 steps. This makes the walk along the mountainside demanding, but a rewarding challenge. The experience becomes immersive as you enter environments characterized by still uncontaminated nature, enriched by a significant archaeological heritage and panoramas that will lasts as indelible in the memory.

Sirenuse Trail

Immersed between sky and sea, the Sirenuse Trail is linked to the Greek myth of the sirens. Its name is a tribute to the three islets now known as Li Galli. From these, according to legend, the sirens attempted to enchant Ulysses with their seductive song.

Extending for approximately 9 km, the trail passes through the picturesque village of Torca. The suggestive atmosphere is enriched by the lush vegetation. The breathtaking views open onto the sea of ​​the Amalfi Coast, the islets of Li Galli, the stacks of Capri and the rock of Vetara, making the entire experience unforgettable.

Among sirens and sunsets: in the heart of Termini

Category:Blog,Places,Pro Loco,Travel Tags : 

The village of Termini, with a fascinating past, goes from being a Greek colony to a tourist destination.

Today it is one of the most popular destinations for travelers looking for a relaxing holiday, among enchanting places that can be explored especially via hiking itineraries.

Termini constitutes the western end of the Sorrento peninsula, a thin strip of mountainous land that juts westward into the sea. This place is steeped in myths and legends linked to the sea and the mountains, with cultivated terraces, citrus groves and olive groves overlooking the splendid blue. The wild cliffs fall into the sea animated by the currents that intertwine at Punta Campanella, right in front of the island of Capri.

The Church of Santa Croce

An example of a place of worship in Termini is the Church of Santa Croce. It that dates back to ancient times, testifying to the religious history of the area. This church, dedicated to the Holy Cross, stands soberly in the village square and represents an important spiritual point of reference for the local community.

Monte San Costanzo in Termini

Just before the limestone peninsula plunges into the blue waters, stands Monte San Costanzo, the highest peak in Massa Lubrense. The hill rises approximately 500 meters above sea level and boasts absolutely breathtaking landscapes on each side: on the Bay of Ieranto, on the cove of Mitigliano, on the gulf of Naples and that of Salerno, and on the island of Capri.

The path that leads to Monte San Costanzo starts right in the heart of Termini, in Piazza Santa Croce. It is also part of the longer Athena Trail.

On the highest point of the promontory stands the Chapel of San Costanzo. It is a small church dating back to the second half of the 16th century which gives to the surrounding area an almost mystical atmosphere. For most of the time the church is closed to the public, but every year on May 14 hundreds of faithful gather for the procession towards Monte San Costanzo, where the Holy Mass is celebrated in honor of the Saint.

Punta Campanella

Punta Campanella is the end of the peninsula, facing Capri and dividing the Gulf of Naples from that of Salerno. It can be reached on foot via a path of about three kilometers that starts from the Termini square. Along the way it is possible to see elements that tell stories of past eras, such as the remains of a Roman villa and two of the defensive watchtowers that stand along the Lubrense coast.

A day in Crapolla

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 

Crapolla è una località marina del paese di Torca, frazione di Massa Lubrense. Affaccia sul golfo di Salerno a poca distanza dalla rinomata Positano. Il fiordo si insinua nel Monte di Torca, dove sorgono una torre antisaracena e i resti dell’abbazia di San Pietro.

Il Fiordo di Crapolla a Massa Lubrense è certamente tra le più suggestive insenature della Penisola Sorrentina, un luogo che custodisce un ricco patrimonio storico e naturalistico.

Cosa fare in un giorno a Crapolla

Il fiordo di Crapolla è raggiungibile esclusivamente a piedi partendo dalla piazzetta di Torca. Gli autobus SITA che raggiungono questa frazione partono da Sorrento, alcuni passano da Massa Centro prima di raggiungere Sant’Agata sui due golfi, quindi Torca. Per chi arriva in auto, c’è possibilità di parcheggio nelle strisce blu, nella piazzetta accanto alla Chiesa di San Tommaso Apostolo.

Il sentiero può essere intrapreso anche da Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, che dista solo un chilometro da Torca. Il percorso è di difficoltà elevata, ma ben tracciato. Prima di intraprenderlo, assicuriamoci di avere con noi abbondante acqua, cibo, un cappellino e scarpe da trekking.

Dopo un primo tratto tra i vicoletti del centro abitato, il sentiero si innesta su una vecchia mulattiera circondata dalla flora mediterranea.

Sentiero di Crapolla

Arrivati sul belvedere noto come “La guardia”, vi è una diramazione (tracciata con la fascia bianco-rossa) che prevede un percorso di ben 700 gradini che conducono al fiordo.

Il panorama

Sul versante di Positano si avvista l’arcipelago de Li Galli, che si lega al mito di Ulisse e delle sirene.

C’è poi Vetara, isolotto disabitato. Dista poche centinaia di metri lo Scoglio Isca, in passato abitato da Eduardo de Filippo, scelto come location del film È stata la mano di Dio di Paolo Sorrentino, il quale mostra le meraviglie della Penisola Sorrentina e della Costiera Amalfitana in scene solari, luminose e a tratti comiche.

Sul versante opposto si ammira il profilo di Punta Penna che delimita l’incantevole baia di Marina del Cantone.

La cappella e la spiaggia

Per fare una pausa dall’impegnativa passeggiata, lungo il sentiero che porta al fiordo si può visitare la Cappella di San Pietro, che si racconta sia stata edificata con le stesse pietre con cui era stata costruita la precedente Abbazia di San Pietro. Secondo la leggenda, quest’ultima sorgeva a sua volta sulle rovine di un antico tempio dedicato al dio Apollo e questo spiegherebbe il toponimo Crapolla.

Oltrepassata la cappella di San Pietro si giunge, finalmente, alla spiaggia. La spiaggia di Crapolla, in ciottoli, è anch’essa parte della Riserva Marina Protetta di Punta Campanella e solo in alcune ore del giorno è esposta al sole, mentre per gran parte della giornata resta in ombra.  

La spiaggia di Crapolla

La strata di ritorno è la stessa dell’andata, per cui consigliamo di evitare di percorrerla nelle ora più calde, soprattutto nei mesi estivi.

L’hiking è un’attività molto diffusa a Massa Lubrense e ci sono, in particolare, alcuni sentieri che vanno verso il mare, verso luoghi incantevoli e incontaminati. Parliamo di escursioni giornaliere che si svolgono su sentieri i cui itinerari non sono troppo complessi e richiedono un’attrezzatura minima.

Oltre 100 km di sentieri segnalati, paesaggi dai colori incredibili, calette nascoste e antiche viuzze tra i borghi sono alcuni dei motivi per cui Massa Lubrense è il luogo perfetto per passeggiare.

Family beaches in Massa Lubrense

Category:Blog,Places Tags : 

Massa Lubrense is also famous for its beautiful beaches. In particular, the two main ones are Marina del Cantone and Marina di Puolo, both easily reachable by car and equipped with parking. These family beaches are the most popular because they are the perfect destination for those traveling with children.

Marina del Cantone

Marina del Cantone is one of the largest beaches on the peninsula and overlooks the Gulf of Salerno. It is characterized by its clear water and white pebbles, which attract children and emphasize their desire to play.

It is ideal for families who want to enjoy a relaxing day and a nice beach bath with their children, since the water is shallow if you do not go too far from the shore. Children can enjoy snorkeling among the rocks, where you can admire the largest number of fish.

In Marina del Cantone, you can also rent pedal boats and canoes, to be used independently to explore the bay or choose from the different kayak excursions proposed.

The beach has free access in some areas with the possibility of renting umbrellas, sun beds and deck chairs, or you can opt for one of the different bathing establishments present.

You can also get to Marina del Cantone by bus, starting from Sorrento, Massa or Sant’Agata sui due golfi.

Spiagge per famiglie a Massa Lubrense

Marina di Puolo

The seaside village of Puolo is located halfway between Sorrento and Massa Lubrense and marks the beginning of the Lubrense coast.

Also here we find a pebble beach with several bathing establishments and in addition a free beach with volcanic sand, known as “spiaggia del fico”. Also in Puolo you can rent pedal boats and canoes.

Marina di Puolo is in many ways similar to Marina del Cantone, but is distinguished by the striking view of Vesuvius.

Buses do not reach the beach, but there is a stop on Via Capo at the beginning of the descent to Marina di Puolo. The stretch to walk is about 800 meters, quite tiring uphill.

Spiagge per famiglie a Massa Lubrense

Both beaches are perfect for both children and adults, thanks to the presence of bars and restaurants where you can taste the delicacies of local cuisine, especially the sea food.

The beauty of these family beaches means that the crowding is very high in July and August and on summer weekends. If possible, we recommend visiting them at the beginning of the week or in June and September, when they are definitely less crowded.
