Sorrento & Amalfi Coast

Sorrento & the Amalfi Coast has attracted visitors for centuries who flock to the region to experience what is surely one of the most beautiful places in all of Italy.

Along this stretch there are plenty of beautiful little villages perched on the cliff sides, with cobblestoned streets and colourful piazzas laden with fragrant flowers. Off the beaten track, there are deserted pathways to explore, along with pretty pebble beaches and secluded coves.

Among the area’s unique attractions are the extraordinary classical ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii and of course the mighty volcano that destroyed them 2000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius.
