| 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 | margaretvn Sun Aug 2, 2009 09:52 UTC
Enjoyed your page - we spent a week in Sorrento after a very busy week in Rome and we loved it | LoriPori Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:53 UTC
No wonder the tourists flock to this area. Amalfi and Positano are stunning as is Vesuvius. | starship Wed Jun 17, 2009 02:37 UTC
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! |
