Hotels in Sorrento
What to see by foot: Sorrento
Located on the breathtaking Amalfi coast, Sorrento is in the middle of a coastline
that boasts a number of nearby islands and offers beautiful landscapes, as well
as important historic sites. Perched atop the rugged cliffs at the end of the
peninsula east of Naples, the lively resort town has long been one of Italy's
most popular tourist destinations.
Sorrento draws most tourists with the small beaches of Marina Piccola and Marina
Grande. There is a wide range of water sports on hand, including: swimming,
boating and windsurfing. There are also more beach options to the west, with
the beaches at Ruderi Villa Romana Pollio and Marina Puolo being the most popular.
For a break from the beach, visit the quaint San Francesco Church. Also worth
a look are the atmospheric Piazza Tasso and the lovely Villa Communale gardens,
both rewarding places to take a refreshing morning or afternoon stroll. The
interesting Museo Correale di Terranova houses fine examples of local inlaid
woodwork and paintings.
Nearby are the ancient sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Alternatively, take
time to explore the delights of the Amalfi Coast. Outdoor enthusiasts can try
scaling the challenging peak of Vesuvius for some stunning panoramas of the
surrounding coast, while offshore are the enchanting islands of Capri, Ischia
and Procida.
