Massa Lubrense

Less known than other touristic spots, straight at the point where the Sorrento Coast flows onto the Amalfi Coast, Massa Lubrense proudly presents its intact natural beauty, including more than thirty hamlets. Its views are considered as the best in the whole peninsula, and if you like walking through ancient villages, past age-old farmhouses, through olive and lemon groves, then you should look no further for your ideal holiday. For this mythical land where Ulysses is said to have visited (and founded the temple of Athena) is where tradition, art and culture converge. From the centre of Massa you can take the road to a seafaring suburb called Marina della Lobra which has very pretty houses built right on the shore and around the harbour. Close by there is a Franciscan convent, which houses some Greek and Roman archaeological remains in its cloister. There are plentiful bars, cafés and restaurants to choose from. Massa Lubrense produces its own olive oil which is delicious. There is a wide selection of accommodation. Wandering around on foot is best, but there are buses and taxis available to take to you to neighbouring villages.
