Sorrento - Pearl of the Amalfi Coast

by HORSCHECK - last update: Jul 7, 2006

Sorrento at the Amalfi Coast

I stayed about 1 week in Sorrento at the Gulf of Naples in October 1998. Sorrento has about 17.000 inhabitants and is situated on a terrace enclosed by sheer cliffs of the rocky Amalfi Coast.

The touristy city has many restaurants, cafes and shops. It is quite a perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast with its amazing bays and small beaches inbetween steep cliffs. Towns like Positano and Amalfi are well worth a visit.

Apart from that, the island of Capri and Italy's most chaotic city Naples with the Vesuvio can be explored in daytrips.

 Interesting Sorrento page! The beautiful coastline certainly looks amazing, and so is the blue island of Capri. Positano and Amalfi sound wonderful to visit and explore. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang

 Enjoyed your page - we spent a week in Sorrento after a very busy week in Rome and we loved it

 No wonder the tourists flock to this area. Amalfi and Positano are stunning as is Vesuvius.

 Nice page! As you say, Sorrento makes a good base from which to explore many places. I remember the sea at Sorrento being a beautiful shade of aquamarine. Great transportation tips. Beautiful photos!
