Sorrento

As soon as you step into Sorrento, the fruity, citrusy and refreshing fragrance of lemons hit your olfactory senses and is more pleasant than anything else. This Mediterranean town is one of the biggest producers of Limoncello, an extremely strong Italian digestive, which honestly reminded me of the many lemon candies I happily devoured during my childhood. Sorrento is also a manufacturer of sweet wines, lacework and ceramics and is an extremely popular destination in Italy. Despite the fact that there isn’t a full-fledged beach that this place can boast of, you do get fantastic views of the Bay of Naples from the many cliffs overlooking the expanse of water. Sorrento is an amalgamation of a resort and an old town and a perfect base for exploring the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Naples and the ruins of Pompeii. A multitude of luxury hotels eagerly cater to the affluent and the well-heeled struck by wanderlust. You could either relax at the Marina Grande port or walk up to the many museums and monuments; this place will indelibly keep you occupied. Getting there:
The Naples’ Capodichino Airport is the closest to the town of Sorrento and buses connect the two. Taxis are also an option; however, they can be very expensive. Ferry connections are equally excellent.
