Sorrento, “the city of orange and lemon groves”, is one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe. Many invaders have passed through the city over the generations - the Etruscans, the Greeks, the Romans and later the Normans. The peninsula has also been home to some of the great English poets such as Byron and Keats. Take a walk through the town to discover the lovely piazzas and sample a glass of Limoncello liqueur or some traditional Sorrentine cuisine in one of the restaurants; explore Via San Nicola and the numerous other pretty streets, lined with shops selling leather, handmade gifts, spices and traditional chinaware.
Alternatively, take a boat to the glamorous island of Capri – home to celebrities, designer boutiques and delicious ice cream cafés and 30 minutes from Sorrento’s harbour.
After breakfast you take the local Circumvesuviana train or boat from Sorrento to Naples (payable locally). Fly with British Airways in Euro Traveller Class from Naples to London.
