From the higher parts of the city, you can occasionally enjoy a beautiful view of the small harbor and bathing platforms, due to the lack of a beach.

The city of Sorrento is located on the Sorrento Peninsula on the Gulf of Naples. It lies above black cliffs made of dark volcanic rock on a tuff terrace. Sorrento is surrounded by imposing rocks of the limestone mountains.

Touristic
For centuries, Sorrento has been the destination of Northern European longing for Italy. Writers and painters have immortalized the place in words and pictures.
Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast are known for their large lemons (ital. Limoni). Typical products made from these fruits are the lemon liqueur Limoncello and lemon chocolate. In addition, numerous ceramic studios in the city produce articles with city views, Amalfi representations or lemon motifs. The heart of the town is the Via S. Cesareo shopping street and Piazza Tasso.
Because of its favorable location, Sorrento is also popular as a starting point for the sights in the area. The tip of the Sorrento peninsula is just 5 km from Capri, which can be easily reached from the port of Marina Piccola. Ischia and Procida, whose silhouettes can be seen on a clear day, can also be reached in a short time by speedboat. The Circumvesuviana regional train takes visitors to Pompeii and Herculaneum or to Naples.
The Amalfi Coast, Italian costiera amalfitana, can be reached from Sorrento via Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana, a popular excursion destination.

story
Mythical past
The current name Sorrento (Sorrento) goes back to the ancient name Surrentum and the myth of the sirens, who confused sailors with their song. According to a legend, only Odysseus and his companions could escape the magic of the siren song, whereupon the sirens turned into the rock called Li Galli (on the south side of the peninsula near Positano in the Gulf of Salerno).

History facts
Sorrento's origins date back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. From 474 to 420 BC Sorrento was under the rule of Greeks until 150 years later it became a Roman Municipium. During this period of the Roman Empire, it became the summer residence of aristocrats and the wealthy. The best preserved testimony is the sea villa of Felix Pollio, already described by Publius Papinius Statius in his work Silvae, located near the fishing village of Puolo.
Over the centuries, many peoples have tried to break through the city wall built by the Greeks and to conquer the town. Sorrento was conquered by the Normans in 1133.

Attractions
• The Museo Correale di Terranova in a former aristocratic palace shows z. B. Furniture, inlay work, porcelain, paintings from the 17th to 19th centuries. The museum was donated by the brothers Pompeo and Alfredo Correale.
• Cathedral: a Romanesque church building in which a. Torquato Tasso was baptized
• Franciscan monastery (San Francesco)
• Chiesa Santa Maria del Carmine
• Chiesa Sant’Antonio
• Villa Communale (city garden) with a view of the Gulf of Naples
• Museobottega della Tarsialignea: an exhibition of works by Italian marquetry artists from the 19th century and modern applied marquetry, collected by the architect and designer Alessandro Fiorentino.
• Greek city gate and Romanesque arch on the old city wall
• Valley of the Mills (Valle dei Mulini), a group of mill ruins in a deep valley near Piazza Tasso. The first mills were founded in the 10th century AD, the last abandoned in the 1940s because the valley was cut off from the sea with the construction of Piazza Tasso in 1866.
