Tropical Italy - Sorrento Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Sorrento Photo - Sorrento, Italy
Quote:
Sorrento is one of the most beautiful towns in Southern Italy. It is located about one hour south of Naples, with beautiful views of the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, and of famous Mount Vesuvius.Sorrento's claim to fame is its lemon groves, which supply much of the lemons for Italy's famous limoncello liqueur. The town also has a lemon grove garden for the public in the centre of town.

The Hotel Residence Le Terrazze is located about a 15-minute cab ride up the winding roads from the Sorrento train station. The view is awesome.

Story/Tip

The Isle of Capri Photo - Capri, Italy
Quote:
Capri is a beautiful small island in the Mediterranean Sea, about a 30 minute ferry ride from Sorrento. The easiest way to get to Capri is to take a ferry from Naples or Sorrento.Return tickets cost about 25 euros each person from Sorrento. Once you land in Capri, you have to take the funicular up to Capri Town, or you can take a bus right from the port to the other town on the island - Anacapri, and the famous blue grotto. As another option you can board a motor boat to go around the island and access the blue grotto from there.We took the bus straight from the port to Anacapri, switched buses and headed to the Blue Grotto. You must purchase your bus tickets at the ticket ...Read More
