Sorrento is located on the northern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula just below Naples. On the other side of the peninsula, easily accessible by bus and ferry, is the Amalfi Coast and the cities of Positano and Amalfi. At the end of the peninsula, also accessible by ferry, is the Island of Capri. From Naples down the coast to Amalfi, there is plenty to do from laying on the beach or taking in museums and ancient ruins or just enjoying a gelato while shopping. The beautiful landscapes and cozy seaside towns make it a fun area to explore for any kind of traveler.

Take advantage of your position so close to Naples and venture into the city for a day trip to visit the sites, explore the shopping or try some true Neapolitan street food like the ‘pizza al portafoglio’, or sfogliatelle. Naples has been going through drastic changes within the past few years to better allow international travelers to engage with everything the Neapolitan culture has to offer.
