Sorrento is a small city in
Campania,
Italy. It can be easily reached from
Naples, as it lies at one end of the Circumvesuvia railroad line (private, not part of FS system). Sorrento lies near one end of the very famous
Amalfi Coast[?]. The SITA bus winds along the cliffs which plunge into the Ocean, while several ferry boats and hydrofoils provide more rapid service to
Naples,
Amalfi ,
Positano[?] and
Capri[?].
The city's sea cliffs are very impressive and it's hotels , particularly the famous Vittorio Emanuelle, have attracted the likes of Enrico_Caruso and Pavarotti.
Sorrento itself is a very popular vacation destination, particularly among British visitors.
