Sorrento is an excellent base to explore the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Capri and Pompeii. Romans used to flock to Sorrento to build their summer houses on cliff tops allowing them to have amazing views over the ocean and down the Italian shore. The town of Sorrento itself is an excellent holiday, but being able to explore the surrounding areas is a bonus! Discover the beautiful culture, history, architecture, fruit groves and vineyards. Sorrento is not known for sandy beaches, most beaches are pebble but the array of beautiful and luxurious hotels around the area will most certainly make up for this!
