SORRENTO, Presentation

Hi, my name’s Marcy, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: Sorrento.

Although Sorrento is not part of the municipalities of the Amalfi Coast, because it is a short distance away, it is a destination you really cannot miss.

It is one of the most beautiful villages on the Sorrento Peninsula, a promontory of limestone rocks that stretches below the surface of the water and resurfaces with the island of Capri.

Compared to the Amalfi Coast, the beaches here are larger, and include: Marina Grande, surrounded by the village of the same name, where you can see fishermen's boats and catch a glimpse of an ancient Roman gate along the road down to the beach; Meta di Sorrento, the longest of the beaches; or Bagni della Regina Giovanna, named after Joanna I, Queen of the Kingdom of Naples in the 14th century.

In addition to the sea and the beaches, the town is famous for its cobblestone streets, lively craft stores, and terraces overlooking the sea....
