Sorrento Walking Tour
Sorrento, Italy
Why Walk Sorrento
Sorrento's clifftop position gives it a commanding presence above the Bay of Naples. The Piazza Tasso, the vibrant central square, sits atop a dramatic gorge and is surrounded by cafes and shops. The old town's grid of narrow streets is lined with limoncello shops, ceramic stores, and intarsia (wood inlay) workshops — a Sorrentine craft tradition dating back centuries. The Marina Grande, the old fishing village reached by a steep path, retains its colorful character with boats, restaurants, and a small beach. The Valley of the Mills, visible from a public viewpoint, is a dramatic overgrown ravine with ruins of a flour mill swallowed by vegetation. The Villa Comunale public garden offers front-row views of Vesuvius and the bay. From Sorrento, walking paths connect to nearby villages, and ferries reach Capri, Positano, and Amalfi.
