The three tiny islands known as Li Galli are situated a small distance out to sea, south of the Sorrento Peninsula in the Gulf of Salerno.
The archipelago has a range of names: Li Galli translates in English as "The Roosters", but they are also known as Le Sirenuse which refers to some interesting folklore around them. |

The largest of the three islands called Gallo Lungo (Long Rooster) is kept company by La Castelluccia (aka Gallo dei Briganti or Bandit's Rooster) and La Rotonda. Since ancient times, the archipelago was said to be the home of three sirens (from where the name Le Sirenuse comes from), called Parthenope, Ligeia and Leucosia. The sirens would ply their evil trade by creating sweet music to attract passing ships which would then be destroyed by crashing into the rocks.
