Sorrento hotel
Sorrento is a component in Italy’s perfect coastline, and has long been famous with sun seekers. The region is traditionally popular with the prosperous set, but it’s becoming easier to find relatively inexpensive accommodating here (though rest positive you’ll pay more here than you will in many other places!). Sorrento is as well a great ground from which to research the islands of Capri and Ischia just offshore, as well as Naples, Pompeii and Herculaneum. The coast towns can get awkwardly full in August, when city inhabitants from inland flock to the sea for their annual holidays, so you may want to keep off Sorrento during that time.
What to Do in Sorrento
The sun is the basic magnet in Sorrento, and some of the beaches are great. You’ll find that the best beaches are private, so you’ll need to pay to utilize them, but if you’re here to sunbathe then you won’t mind. Like any great coast town, Sorrento is also a great place to try a number of water sports, including sailing and fishing. Faraway from the sea, there’s a cathedral and monastery in Sorrento worth traveling to, and a handful of nice museums and galleries and even some Roman ruins to explore. The point of a vacation to Sorrento, though, is not a jammed cultural itinerary – it’s a relaxing place to soak in the sun and sample the local liqueur, limoncello. Not a bad way to go, really.
Getting in Sorrento
Naples has the closest airport to Sorrento, but if you’re moving in from outside Europe you may end up flying into Rome’s Fiumicino Airport instead. From there you can take a train to Sorrento or rent a car, albeit driving along the winding coastline may be more of a challenge than you’re searching. Start by anticipating deals on airfare to Italy.
