Sorrento is beautiful.

great, place to take a couple of days of rest. beautiful city and really easy to get around. if you get bored just head to capri or the amalfi coast.

  • Insider tip:dont plan to spend much time on the beach. its about 20 feet long. everyone lays out on the docks.

sorrento first time

Sorrento was lovely althought on o capri island the shopping and refreshments very expensive. blue grotto boat trip did not like being ripped off for trip into grotto (chargs extra 9euros each on top of boat trip which as 10 euros each)

  • Insider tip:go off main streets to eat save lot of euros + food lovely

Lots of tourists so if you arent into that kind of thing go elsewhere. It is a beautiful spot and there are lots of smaller towns around that you can go to and still enjoy the attractions.

A great place to use as a base for the Amalfi coast and Capri; even better to come back to vehicle free streets, shops open until 10pm, choice of eating places and almost every other shop seems to sell Limonicella!

  • Insider tip:Great place - just remember thousands of other tourists think so too, as well as the locals! Be prepared for packed ferries, trains and busses that end up more like a cattle market. Oh, and the standard of driving is just like Naples!
