I am about to go on holiday to Sorrento in Italy?

Question

Has anybody already been there and if so can you give me some tips on what to see and do. I know the obvious like Mount Vesuvius and Capri etc, im thinking of something maybe off the beaten track. Please help I go in 9 days.

Answer 1

I can't really give any help, but just had to say I i went to the Amalfi coast a while back it's beautiful, go to Amalfi and positano both lovely places,and i think there is somehwhere called Limenolla maybe, sorrento is nice but a bit more commericial   im jealous have a great time! oh and pompei too! Capri is ok but very very busy tho maybe be quiter in september.

Answer 2

How about Pompeii or Herculano (The buried villages).  Between them that's a solid half a day.  Not sure that I would recommend Naples though - but you might like it. So it might be worth adding that onto your Pompeii visit.

Otherwise - Sorrento itself is nice to relax in.

It kinda depends how long you're going to be there really.  From memory, there aren't too many beaches in the area - or at least right on Sorrento itself.

There're bound to be a couple of walks in the area as well, but it's been a few years I'm afraid.

Answer 3

sounds very nice. never been but i hope you have a super time

Answer 4

Pompei? Ischia? Positano? Amalfi?  There are loads of great places and excursions.

I went in August, it is absolutely fantastic.  Great food and wine - quite reasonable prices too.

You will have a great time, I got married there 3 weeks ago, so I am slightly biased.  But it is fantastic!

Answer 5

There isn't that much to do in Sorrento.  I would recommend that you stay in Capri instead.  There's so much to do.  In the evening, the place to be is in the square.  There's great people watching there.  Capri is beautiful.
