Coast & Sorrento Self-Catering
A Coastal jewel of “the Boot”
(Lo Stivale), Sorrento is a town of southern Italy on the Sorrentine Peninsula
(named after Sorrento), separating the Bay of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno.
Sorrento is on the North
coast, the Amalfi Coast is on the South coast, and the Capri Island is
close to the western tip of the peninsula. |
Often regarded as the gateway
to the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is connected to the Amalfi Coast via “Amalfi
drive,” a narrow road running around the high cliffs above the Mediterranean.
The entire area is extremely popular for tourism.
| Sorrento comes under the
Campania region of Italy. The town is easily accessible from Naples and
Pompeii. Perched on the cliffs, Sorrento overlooks the bay of Naples, and
is the key tourist destination of the Sorrentine Peninsula. The town of
Sorrento is famous for its mesmerizing coastline offering captivating views
of Naples and Vesuvius.
Sorrento is made up of five
communes with Sorrento Town itself providing the main shopping and commercial
centre. The centre of Sorrento is Piazza Tasso that is divided by the Corso
d' Italia which is the main thoroughfare. The way is usually closed to
traffic in the evenings to let the visitors and locals move around the
town.
Tasso is stuffed with many
fine bars and restaurants with huge patio areas while Corso is full of
many tourist shops, gelateria, and designer stores little more upward.
Sorrento has two marinas;
Marina Grande and Marina Piccola. |

Piccola is the larger of
the two and it is the departure point for the ferries that cross to Naples
and the surrounding islands as well as for the cruises along the Amalfi
coast.
Maria Grande is the smaller
of the two and is home to a number of fishing and pleasure vessels and
is well worth a visit. It has a small beach area and some nice sea food
restaurants.

Sorrento is the town bountifully
blessed with scores of beauties and attractions. Major tourist attractions
of the town include Lemon terraces, Marina Grande, Marina Piccola (pretty
Small Port), the puntacampanella natural reserve, Villa Pollio roman ruins
in Capo di Sorrento, and Hotel Tramontano, where Norwegian writer Henrik
Ibsen lived while writing parts of Peer Gynt (1867) and Ghosts (1881).
Sorrento is not the destination
that offers miles and miles of sandy golden beaches. Though it’s a coastal
town, it doesn’t have fine beaches to offer to the visitors. Yet there
is a small beach at Marina Grande. It offers same water for swimming that
is used by boats, so these sometimes some diesel deposits in the water.
The wooden lido between the
two harbors that has sheltered swimming areas is a good option to go for
swimming.
On the whole, Sorrento is
a nice destination having a very beautiful coastline, impressive sea cliffs,
fine bars & restaurants, and luxury hotels. |
Sorrento can be accessed
via Naples. It is 1.5 hours drive from Naples. There is a nice bus service
from
Naples Airport (Capodichino) to Sorrento. Buses depart six times daily.
Trains are also available from Naples to Sorrento. The Circumvesuviana
is a local private train link serving the area around the Mount Vesuvius
from Naples to Sorrento. The Sita buses also serve from Positano and Amalfi
to Sorrento. Sorrento is also accessible via ferries from Naples, Ischia
and Capri.
