Sorrento  Peninsula

By Dion Protani
Latest update: 17 January 2024
​The Sorrento Peninsula is a coastal area in the southern Italian region of Campania and the Metropolitan City of Naples province.

​Sorrento the town is known for its style and southern Italian charm. For most people, the main attraction is the beach but Sorrento is elevated above most other towns of a similar size because of its diversity.

The two main marinas are full of character and draw the crowds because of their great fish restaurants. Here you can sit by the sea in the glorious Italian sunshine, sipping fine wines and enjoying the creations of the proud Sorrentine chefs. 

There's plenty to keep you occupied away from meal times as well; Sorrento has a great array of shops, most of which are situated on pedestrianised streets where you can try some of the local specialities such as Limoncello or the hot, spicy chillies that are grown nearby.
Towns on the Sorrento Peninsula
Away from Sorrento the town; there's the whole Sorrento Peninsula to explore with smaller towns such as Meta and Vico Equense of particular interest. There are also a number of charming bays such as Marina di Puolo or Marina della Lobra where you can spend a day away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento should you so wish.

​Also, don't miss out on the beach clubs such as the famous Bagni di Regina Giovanna where you can not only sunbathe, but also enjoy leisurely walks or take a canoe if you're feeling more energetic. ​
