One of the Italian destinations that has grown the most in tourism in recent years is Sorrento, a small town that is becoming very famous especially for the summer holidays. For you to locate yourself, it is more or less an hour's drive from Naples. At first glance it seems like one of the many tourist towns that you can find around the world, but it has certain peculiarities that make it special.
Sorrento sits on some cliffs spectacular that offer a magical view that goes from the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. From there you can also get very close to places like Pompeii or the island of Capri, so it is undoubtedly a perfect place to take a short route through various towns in the area since they all have a lot of charm. It has the advantage that it is not crowded with people as other Italian destinations are.
Here you will not find any beach so it is not a summer destination to use where you can go to throw yourself on a beach "and that's it" (although there are people who bathe in the port), but you can find several very interesting routes of different themes, such as the country's history, mythology, the best wines or Italian food (always a pleasure to taste it).
Of everything you can see in Sorrento, places such as the Roman ruins of Villa Pollio, the Archaeological Museum or the Duomo Cathedral, in addition to the city itself since it is very picturesque and getting lost in its streets taking a walk is one of the things that most attract tourists. If you are going to be in Italy and Sorrento is not far away, I definitely recommend a visit, even if it is only a few hours, it has a lot of charm and is one of the most beautiful villages in the world.
