4.9/5 (898 reviews)

Perched along the white cliffs that plunge into the Bay of Naples, Sorrento has been luring travellers since ancient times — the Greeks believed the Sirens sang from the shores, tempting passing sailors towards the rocks. Today, it’s lemon groves and sweeping views that do the persuading and in fact, this is limoncello country, where heady citrus perfume drifts on the air and seafood arrives simply dressed with lemon, oil and salt. Wander the charming old town and the gelato-lined, restaurant-packed Piazza Tasso where artisan workshops still produce intricate inlaid wood, and then head to one of the cliffside restaurants to feast on locally-caught fish, a zesty Falanghina and full, fleshy olives. Then, when you're ready for a tad more action, take a ferry to the islands of Capri and Ischia, or enjoy a drive along the Amalfi Coast, accompanied by some of Italy's most postcard-worthy scenery.
Sorrento is the perfect seaside spot to get away from it all while also being an ideal base to explore nearby gems like the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Naples.
Venture into the less touristy areas like Marina Grande, an old fishing village with colourful houses and delicious seafood trattorias. Or explore the nearby countryside, filled with olive groves, vineyards, and charming hamlets.
If Sorrento is part of a longer trip down the Amalfi Coast, consider staying for a few days to fully soak in the atmosphere without the need to rush.
