Introduction
Sorrento sits on the cliffs overlooking the water towards Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Steep cliffs and blue water always makes for stunning scenery and Sorrento is no exception to that rule. Such stunning scenery, in combination with a picturesque Italian village of terraced houses, was not bound to go unnoticed for long. Very much the resort town, thousands flock to Sorrento each year making it rather crowded in the midst of summer. Nonetheless there are ample opportunities nearby to escape the crowds and enjoy the more peaceful surroundings and views.

Getting there
By Plane
The nearest airport is Capodichino near Naples. From here buses go to Sorrento several times a day.
By Train
Line 1 of the Circumvesuviana (the railway track runs around the base of the Vesuvius) railway, which connects cities and villages near Naples, stops in Sorrento (journey time about one hour). Half way is the station of Pompeii Scavi, right next to the entrance to the excavations. The railway is especially scenic on the Sorrento peninsula, where it passes over several bridges and through tunnels.
By Car
Drive south from Naples towards Costiera Sorrentina. Traffic can be slow so this is by no means the fastest way to get to Sorrento from Naples.
By Bus
Buses can be caught from Capodichino airport, Amalfi and Positano.
By Boat
Sorrento is accessible by boat from Capri, Ischia and Naples. It's a faster way to get to Sorrento than by road.

- Bocconci (via Vico 1 Fuoro, 21) - Tiny place with good local bread, salamies and cheeses.
