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.

In A Nutshell:"Perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Naples."

 Great page about this picturesque area, bringing back sweet memories. I spent there two nights in 1996. In 1990th there were a lot of liqueurs here in Moscow from Italy including Limoncello... Thanks, Holger!
