The beaches in Sorrento look like the backdrop to perfume advert, with wooden platforms over dazzling blue water, surrounded by dreamy pastel houses on the cliffs.

Things to do in Sorrento

Enjoy the Capri sun

Capri is a short ferry ride away and boasts a huge number of attractions for an island so small. You can experience Roman life in the iconic Blue Grotto swimming hole and a well-preserved palace, scale Mount Solaro by staircase or chairlift, or simply spend the day taking enviable holiday pics amongst the wildlife.

Taste the rainbow

For a deeper dive into the colourful cuisine on your holidays to Sorrento, take a farm tour through the countryside. You’ll get to taste the region’s best exports like olives and provolone cheese fresh from the source, with lashings of limoncello to top it all off.

Pompeii your respects

Mount Vesuvius towering in the distance is a constant reminder of the famous eruption we all studied in school. To get a hands-on history lesson for all ages, take a short train ride to the heart of Pompeii, where you can explore the ancient city and get a real feel for life two thousand years ago.

Bring it home

Whether you want to splash out on your friends or yourself, you should head to Via San Cesareo or Corso Italia. Both streets are lined with cute independent shops where you’ll find foodie treats and handmade crafts for every taste, plus there are plenty of bars and amazing views to keep non-shopaholics happy.

What's the weather like in Sorrento?

Serious sun-worshippers will want to consider the scorching months of July to September for their 2022 holidays to Sorrento. If you’d like to do some exploring beyond the beach then we recommend travelling in springtime, when the weather is still gorgeous, but the heat is less intense.
