Sorrento. A destination worthy a visit for sure! Located a little over an hour by train from Naples, it's a convenient first or last stop if you're visiting the Amalfi Coast. It's convenient to take a ferry to Capri and other towns along the Amalfi Coast. Its history spans millennia, with it's name coming from the legend of the Sirens (Surrentum) in the Odyssey, or possibly from the Greek root (syrrentón) meaning "to flow together" from converging streams. In the 6th century BCE it was colonized by Greeks, later becoming a seaside retreat town for wealthy Romans who built majestic villas, kicking off it's trajectory as a resort town which continues to this day. Surrounding the city center, many grand hotels line the cliffs, providing beautiful getaways for local and international visitors. The older part of town offers a compact several blocks of sites with historic connections, retail stores and restaurants. Beaches mean little grey strips of gravelly shore, and long piers set up with beach lounge chairs. Both public beaches and private beach clubs are available, with many hotels having their own piers for guests to use. Sorrento's appeal lies in its proximity to the water and stunning views of the sea and sheer rock bluffs, a noteworthy holiday getaway. read more

Beautiful town, a port city. Easy to catch ferries to the rest of the Almalfi coast. Stopped in a few little shops after we got back from Positano by ferry, then took the train back to Napoli. I loved the architecture and beautiful town. I was supposed to study abroad here so it was nice seeing it in person for the first time, and basking in what could've been. Didn't stay too long but definitely a good place to see. read more

Sorrento offers travelers an upscale and less crowded experience compared to Naples. The waterfront sits below the cliffs that the main town is on. There are ferries to Capri, Naples etc, and lots of local excursion, fishing and diving providers. Stairs and a narrow road lead up to the main town. There's a wide range of restaurants, cafés, hotels, shops, and stores of every kind. Dring the peak season, it can get very crowded! read more

Sorrento is a coastal town in southwestern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it's known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that's home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister. Just a breathtaking, spectacular area that I can just sit at and take in the beauty all day long. read more
