Famous Landmarks
Cliffs and Bay of Naples view
40.6263°N, 14.3756°E
Sorrento's tuff cliffs, 50 metres high above the Tyrrhenian Sea, offer one of Italy's most famous views over the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. From the flowered terraces of historic hotels on Piazza Tasso, the panorama embraces the island of Capri, Naples and the volcano, forming a setting unchanged since the 18th-century Grand Tour.
Marina Grande
40.6263°N, 14.3756°E
Marina Grande, an old fishing village nestled at the foot of the cliffs, is the most authentic of Sorrento's two harbours. Its colourful houses and brightly painted boats form a timeless setting where fishermen still set out at dawn to bring back sardines, anchovies, and seafood cooked in the neighbourhood's family-run trattorias.
Sorrentine Peninsula
40.6263°N, 14.3756°E
The Sorrentine Peninsula extends 30 kilometres between the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Salerno, forming a mountainous strip of land covered in terraced lemon groves and centuries-old olive groves. UNESCO World Heritage-listed in 2002 alongside the neighbouring Amalfi Coast, it produces the famous limoncello and hosts the ports of embarkation for Capri, Ischia, and the Amalfi Coast.
