The last stop on our Italian coastal tour was Sorrento, also known as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. While Sorrento still boasts gorgeous sea views, colorful buildings, and delicious Italian cuisine, I didn't find it quite as charming as Positano. We arrived in the heart of the town just after 2 pm and the streets were bustling with tourists. I don't mind visiting touristy locales, but after wandering down the almost tourist-free streets in Positano just hours before, I couldn't help but be disenchanted by the overabundance of them in Sorrento. Not to mention it was over 80 degrees outside that afternoon, so the combination of crowded streets and humid weather made our time there a little less bearable. In lieu of snapping a million photos of the town (since I'd already had my fill of photographing gorgeous Positano), we spent an hour wandering up and down the shop-lined streets trying to find a memento to bring home from our quick stop there. We settled on a cute ornament covered in hand-painted lemons and seascapes, then headed back to our air-conditioned van and we jetted off to the docks to catch our ferry back to Naples. A quick stop, indeed. If I had the chance visit Sorrento again, I would...but maybe in the off season when less tourists are out in full force. Although, if we find ourselves along the Amalfi Coast again, I'm positive the island of Capri will be our first stop since we opted out of it this past trip. So much Italy to see, so little time. Guess we always have a reason to come back! You won't hear me complaining. :) If you missed any of our day along the Amalfi Coast, you can find all my recaps here, here, and here.

What To Do In Sorrento Sorrento is about 50 minutes by car from Naples airport and is a wonderful choice for a week-end away. With its spectacular views across the Bay of Naples, its charming old town and its beaches, it makes for a wonderfully relaxed and scenic week-end. And if you're wanting to go further afield, Sorrento also acts as a gateway to the stunning Amalfi Coast and as a fantastic base from which to explore Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples and Capri. Having been to Sorrento several times, this is what I would recommend as some of the best things to do: 1) Stroll slowly through the old part of town, enjoying the architecture and stopping off at any shops that spark your interest - Sorrento has some of the best shopping options along the Amalfi Coast.2) Stop off for lunch at the Bellevue Syrene and enjoy a glass of Prosecco as you're admiring the spectacular views. 3) Wander along to the Villa Comunale to visit the very pretty Cloister of San Francesco and to take in the sweeping views of the bay. 4) Walk or take the lift down to the Marina below and walk past the beach areas to the harbour to admire the yachts and enjoy the beautiful views of Sorrento and its cliffs. Tip: Think twice about buying a return ticket for the lift, you might decide to walk back up to the town centre from the harbour steps rather than wait in a long queue to go back up the lift. 5) Enjoy an early evening aperitivo in the uniquely beautiful D'Anton Design and Bistro - and try not to get tempted to buy something! Not only is the decor very special, the family who own this cafe bar are very friendly and attentive - and can make wonderful cocktails!
