Meta, in the province of Naples, is the first town encountered when arriving on the Sorrento Peninsula and stands out for its seafaring vocation and the presence of one of the widest beaches in the area. Less chaotic than nearby Sorrento and Positano, it maintains an authentic atmosphere and a picturesque historic center, with Baroque buildings and typical Campanian architecture. Meta is the ideal choice for those wishing to explore the Sorrento and Amalfi Coasts while also enjoying a relaxing stay in a location with discreet charm.
