📍 Destination Overview
Sorrento, a seaside town on Italy's Bay of Naples, perches on sea-cliffs, its lemon groves steeping the town in citrus scent. As the gateway opposite the Amalfi Coast, it is an ideal base for Capri, Positano, Amalfi and Pompeii. Arcaded old streets surround a bustling Corso Italia with carved wooden-box shops. A local limoncello at a clifftop bar completes the Mediterranean summer.
