Sorrento is one of Campania’s most stunning destinations, cascading down a steep hillside and spreading across the clifftops above the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s arguably Campania’s hub, with ferry links to Capri and Ischia, easy road access to the Amalfi Coast and Naples, and fast rail connections to Pompeii., that's probably why Gennaro Contaldo loves it so much!
The town overlooks the Bay of Naples, with fantastic views across the water to Mount Vesuvius. The old town is a warren of narrow streets lined with small shops and hole-in-the-wall cobblers (handmade sandals are something of a speciality here). Stretching from the seafront onto the main street, it's the ideal shopping location. Antiques can be found at the Teodoro Del Giudice, while the weekly market is the place to pick up everything from jackets to handbags. The streets of Sorrento come alive at night thanks to an array of restaurants and bars. In the summer months the locals will fill the outside terraces of the cafes and restaurants creating a bustling atmosphere, particularly around the pretty main square, Piazza Tasso. For a seafood supper, head down to the waterfront Marina Grande, where you'll find a selection of wonderful fish restaurants.
