Athenaeus, the Greeks called him, who adored the goddess Athena there in a temple whose foundation legend attributed to Ulysses.

Created to protect the nature and landscape of the Lattari Mountains, the park encompasses the entire Sorrento-Amalfi Peninsula, which separates the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, and part of the neighboring Agro Nocerino-Sarnese.

Forty kilometers of coastline and beauty protected since 1997, between the Sorrento and Amalfi Coasts, including Punta Campanella, in the territories of the Municipalities of Massa Lubrense, Piano di Sorrento,Sorrento, Sant'Agnello, Vico Equense, Positano.

A hole in the rock is framing the breathtaking panorama, extending from the other mounts of the Lattari chain to the coast with its high steep walls and the villages overlooking the sea.

Nestled between the Gulf of Naples to the northwest and the Gulf of Salerno to the south, the chain of the Lattari Mounts extends for 34 kilometers as a continuation of Picentini Mounts and forms, extending into the sea, the Sorrentine Peninsula.

Ascending from Vico Equense or from Castellammare di Stabia (even with the cable car) you can reach Monte Faito (1131 meters), which takes its name from the dense beech woods, which cover its sides with ancient trees of some centuries ago.
