BAIA DI IERANTO
The breath of the sirens
Legend has it that the Sirens built their home right there, in the grotto carved out of the rock along
the southern coast of the Sorrento peninsula. Ieranto is located in Massa Lubrense, in the province
of Naples, a place of untainted beauty situated opposite the sea stacks of Capri. Stretching out
across 47 hectares, with a coastline measuring around 3 kilometres in length, the area affords
unforgettable views that encompass reefs, beaches and massive rocky undulations covered in
Mediterranean scrub and olive trees.
That little path between two opposing giants
The Bay of Ieranto, which is part of the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area, is split into two
parts: the large bay (Baia Grande) and the small bay (Baia Piccola). The tower, formed part of
the system designed to defend the coast from Saracen attacks. As you walk along the path that
leads from the small village of Nerano, you have the option to proceed towards the tower, head
down to the wonderful beach or visit the ancient rural buildings and quarry buildings restored by
FAI, which face out to sea.
On the path between Nerano and the bay, you can also find la Casa Silentium place where the
writer Norman Douglas at the beginning of 900 strted to write Siren Land
