Sorrento

Sorrento, the 1st stop on a one day visit to the Amalfi coast, south of Naples, has been inhabited since at least the 8th century BCE, and probably long before. This lovely town sits out near the end of the eponymous peninsula that forms the south side of the Bay of Naples. Sorrento sits atop tufa cliffs that give wide views over the Bay to Naples, Vesuvius and the rest of the region.
The 1st 3 pictures are at the top of the cliffs, looking west, then north over one of the marinas and finally east. Given the shadows, it's hard to see the tufa cliffs, but it is clear how high they are.
The last 3 pictures are in the old town. The 4th picture is the Piazza Tasso, the main square in Sorrento. The statue, I understand, is San Antonino Abate.
The remaining 2 pictures are of narrow streets typical of the old town. The street in the 5th picture frames a church whose name I didn't find. Czytaj więcej
