Sorrento is a popular holiday destination and gateway to the Isle of Capri. Located over white steep cliffs, Sorrento offers a fantastic view of the Bay of Naples. As it is a place to be seen, head on down to the best beach ie Punta del Capo to work on your tan.
The best time to visit this region is during the months of April to June and late September to October as the temperature is usually mild and you don’t get much of a crowd. The period in between is high summer season and things can get pretty expensive and the climate - sultry hot.
The sun is the fundamental magnet in Sorrento, and some of the beaches are extraordinary. You’ll find that the best beaches are private, so you’ll need to pay to use them, but if you’re here to sunbathe then you won’t mind. Like any good maritime town, Sorrento is also a terrific place to try out a couple of water sports, including sailing and fishing. Away from the coast, there’s a cathedral and monastery in Sorrento worth visiting, 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 travel plan – it’s a relaxing spot to soak in the sun and try out the local liqueur, limoncello. Not a bad way to go, really.
