Sorrento is located about a 90 minute coach ride south of Naples. Once you have escaped the urban sprawl of Naples the winding coast road gives you some beautiful views of the Gulf of Naples on your right whilst all the time the imposing height of Vesuvius is receding behind you.
Sorrento is often regarded at the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. It is a bustling unashamedly tourist dominated Italian town with a population of 20,000 people which is swelled to bursting point in the summer months. Our visit came at the end of August and the first week in September and coincided with the last weekend of the Italian holiday month of August. As such we go to appreciate Sorrento with all its home base and foreign visitors and a slightly quieter Sorrento when it played hoist to mostly English and to a lesser degree German visitors.

Advantages: Interesting town, great weather, good base to explore the area Disadvantages: Traffic and pollution
Sorrento, on the west coast of Italy, south of Naples, is an ideal holiday spot, whether you want to lie on the beach all day or get out and about soaking up the local culture.

Advantages: A wonderful place, Ideal for site seeing Disadvantages: none
roman ruins) it also has an excellent bus link around the Almalfi coast to Positanio, Amalfi and Ravello. A hydro foil and ferry to the island of Capri. Public transport is very cheap, and easy to use.
If you are after a beach holiday then this isnt the place for you, but if you want to sight see and galavant around then you couldnt do better then coming here.
Sorrento its self is a fairly large town, with several museums, loads of shops - designer label abound here and also some shops for the poor people (ie ME!!). Loads of resturants and bars which are excellent and again very reasonable.
We did the usual touristy things eg visited pompeii on the train and Hersulaum. This two sites are wonderful! Very easy to get too using the train. Out of the two I prefeered Hersulaum due to the fact that it was smaller and better preserved ...
