In the south
side of the Bay of Naples in the southern Italian region of Campania
lies the picturesque and historical town of Sorrento. Overlooking
the Bay and of course, the city of Naples (Napoli), this small but
idyllic place is one of Italy’s premier tourist destinations
thanks to its handy location in a region with everything that the
south of Italy is famous for – the clear, warm waters of the
Mediterranean Sea, arguably the finest cuisine in the world (particularly
seafood) and that unmistakeable southern Italian hospitality and
way of life that allows people here more longevity than anywhere
else in the world.
The Amalfi Drive
leading from the town along the cliff edge to the Amalfi Coast has
been used in numerous films; Mount Vesuvius – the devastating
volcano that destroyed the city of Pompeii back in 70 AD.
The perfectly preserved
ruins of Pompeii are a short car journey away, as are those of Ercolana,
another town destroyed by the volcano although less well preserved.
A short ferry ride takes us to the sublime islands of Capri or Ischia
and a 2-hour train ride takes us to Rome – the eternal city
and unforgettable capital of Italy.
