A day in Sorrento.
Sorrento perches on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, with views of Vesuvius and Capri on a clear day. A small town that punches above its weight on food, with easy ferry access to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii.

Tips before you go.
- Ferries to Capri, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast leave from Marina Piccola. Buy tickets the day before in summer.
- Limoncello is a real local product, taste before buying tourist-shop versions.
- The Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii is uncomfortable but cheap and direct.
