Piazzo Tasso
The central square in Sorrento is fronted by the Baroque church Del Carmine which houses a spectacular painting by Onofrio Avellino near its altar. Look out for the statue of Antonino Abbate, a local saint who died in 625.
Amalfi Coast
Unesco and the world's honeymooners deem the Amalfi coast an ideal example of Mediterranean beauty and culture. Its glittering seas are matched in grandeur by shards of verdant mountain, which are the scene for some of the most charismatic culture in Europe.
Mount Vesuvius
The still smoking summit of this famous volcano remains a draw for nature and culture lovers alike. Sitting with deceptive benevolence over Sorrento, this once volatile volcano is responsible for preserving the ancient city of Pompeii with ash and providing a fascinating and unique time capsule for archaeologists.
Sorrento Peninsula
With its white sailed yachts and foam crested waves, this sunny peninsula is an ideal spot to try out water sports, from kayaking to windsurfing. The famous island of Capri, the vacation home of Mariah Carey and an almost endless list of celebrities, is also the location of the miraculous Blue Grotto cavern.
Vallone dei Mulini
Once a center for grain grinding, this historic valley actually dates back to the eruption of Campi Flegrei over thirty seven thousand years ago. Today, a sawmill dating from the 10th Century can still be seen among the verdant growth of plants in this stunning and mysterious valley.
