Breathtaking sunsets and fragances of orange and lemon gardens have attracted tourists from every corner of the world almost for 2,000 years. Due to the fantastic location of Sorrento, its narrow streets tend to be walked by many visitors which endow it with a busy flavor most part of the day. Yet relaxation and silence can still be found in the gardens and some isolated beaches yo’ll discover as you explore the city. Sorrento is ideal as a mere tourist destination or as a starting point for sightseeing of every kind.
This area, thanks to its geographical shape, suspended between the green hills and the blue seas, has been from immemorial times a great attraction of southern Italy. With plenty of facilities, the Sorrento coast is one of the most popular destinations of the entire Campania region. Sorrento was named by Greeks “Syrenusion” or “Syreon” that means Siren’s land. These creatures could fascinate with their song the sailors and now it is said that they captivate all the people that land in Sorrento. This coasting town was included in the 18th century among the main destinations of the Ground Tour, a journey among the most significant Italian cities made by the foreign intellectuals who wanted to study in depth the Italian history, art and culture.
