We tried some wine from the vineyards in the area and fell in absolute love. Great place to visit, even if it's super quick!

Piazza Tasso is a lovely square in Sorrento…read more Lucky to stumble across a local festival on our cruise ship tour to Sorrento and Pompeii. Our tour guide was not sure what they were celebrating. Take time to check out the beautiful baroque yellow church and everything Limoncello while you are in the neighborhood. The lemons in Sorrento are enormous and the geography reflects their impact. Limoncello granitas. Lemon pasta. Lemon biscotti. Lemons on everything from dish towels, baskets and bags to headbands. My sister-in-law even bought a pair of swim shorts that were covered with a large lemons in the pattern. Nice for a short stop while exploring Sorrento. Tip: There is a bathroom next to the church. It takes one euro each.

The smaller walking streets around it are pretty cool too for all kinds of things and souvenirs if they are desired. There are some great places for coffee too. The square can get pretty busy with cruise ships coming in and out of Naples and Sorrento so if you like it a little less crowded, get there early or in the off season.

Well if you have visited Amalfi, most likely you will also end up here. Beautiful Amalfi cathedral…read moreis here and so are those narrow cobbled streets with beautiful shops. This piazza is dominated by the Duomo or Cathedral of Amalfi, set high on top of steep, wide steps. There is a fountain here, water coming from the lady's breasts. So weird just like Manneken Piss in Brussels. I would recommend you guys visit the shops here, they are so beautiful. I wanted to buy so much stuff. I bought wall decor for my house, Ravello lemon is very famous and juice ( or wine) in bottles are for sale at every shop. Restaurants are just at the foot of the cathedral. It's like any European city just on a small scale. So beautiful

The cave isnt that big. The tour will probably last about 15 minutes. You'll see brilliant blue water (Splashee Splashee looky looky). A rock looks like either Ronald Regan or Bibi Netanyahu depending on the tour participants ( it's miracle! Looky looky) You can get to the caves from the highway above or by boat. You take the tour w a guide in their canoes. Five euros each. Our guide was a card. I'm guessing he has another gig as host of the local poetry slam at the pizzeria. Overall, I got the sense that local tourist bureau was making the most they could out of this cave. And our guide was in on the joke, that it's slightly interesting but the UNESCO world heritage folks are going to be swinging by anytime soon. For five euros what the hey. It's worth it.

Sitting along the eastern boundary of the Amalfi Coast, the city of Salerno is more urban than its…read morewestern cousins though has a seaside appeal of its own. While I didn't have time to explore the city, what I saw reminded me a bit of coastal towns long the south of France like Antibes--marinas filled with boats along an azure sea, rocky waterfronts and pastel colored buildings about four or five stories tall in the city center. There is one main train station and several smaller stations where local commuter lines stop. Two port areas service the city, Porto Turistico, a smaller one where more local ferries dock, and where I went to catch a ferry to Amalfi, and Porto Salerno, where larger ships and cruise ships sail. For a visitor, there's a few noteworthy view points, some coastline with beaches, a handful of archaeological and historic cultural sites around to visit, though it's not a main draw the same way some other towns like Positano, Amalfi, Ravello are. It felt more of a local, quieter waterside town, a transit point for tourists headed for the rest of the coast. Certainly less over the top in the way Sorrento has become a luxury resort hub.
