What to do and see in Sorrento, Campania: The Best Nature & Parks

July 18, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Land of Mermaids. Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. Land of Colors. This small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.

Absolute must visit for anyone going to Sorrento, ice cream is amazing and the gardens are beautiful... and of course the limoncello is the best in Sorrento, organic and minimal ingredients... you can see the whole process with a tour round the small factory.

Bagni della Regina Giovanna

Reviewed By moot1 - Bristol, United Kingdom

We were blessed with beautiful sunny February weather and took the walk here from the centre of Sorrento. We followed the Sunflower walking guide which managed to avoid walking along the main roads, but without it we wouldn't have found these hidden routes. I highly recommend this book - mine is 15 years old and still accurate! The walk there is actually lovely (if you avoid the roads) the path down to the cove from the main road is steep though, so it's quite a trek back up. But we loved it and we only saw one other person while we were there, but of course it was February! There are the remains of an old Roman villa and a few little areas of the original white mosaic floor remain if you are eagle-eyed enough to spot it...(the other visitor to the site showed us) The views on the way back towards Sorrento are very pretty. You can imagine all the people throughout history who have bathed here - it's quite something!

Pretty much same view available at Grande Excelsior Vittoria but completely free of charge. Nice to sit on one of the benches and look at the view. Free of charge and clean lavatories available . Inexpensive cafe and gelato on site

Marina di Puolo

Reviewed By RickyAllen3 - Bath, United Kingdom

Worth a day visit. We walked from Sorrento ( 1 hour each way) which was good exercise rewarded by a day at this relaxing quiet beach with clean water and few tourists, which is why we came. Incidentally everything here is less expensive than Sorrento which is an added bonus but not a reason to visit in of itself.

Located right next to the Plaza Hotel and a short walk from the main square. A popular tourist spot and great photo opportunity.
