Day Trip to Sorrento, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Considered the official start of the Amalfi Coast, the cliff-perched town of Sorrento makes for a quick and easy day trip. We caught the train in Pompei at Villa dei Misteri and took the Circumvesuviana line all the way down the coast. Our plan for the day? To eat and wander around without much of an itinerary.
Since we were visiting just before the holidays, the streets were decked out with all sorts of Christmas decorations. We befriended a few dogs along the way, and then we found a spot to indulge in coffees and pastries.
After walking through the town, we started making our way down to the waterfront, more specifically, to Marina Grande. This harbour is line with pastel-coloured buildings, boats bobbing in the water, and lots of seafood restaurants.
After walking the length of the marina and browsing through menus, we finally settled on a restaurant for lunch: Zi’Ntonio Mare.
Making our way back to town, we also attempted to visit Sorrento Cathedral, but we arrived outside of opening hours so here’s a quick look from the exterior.
From there, we continued down some of Sorrento’s pedestrian-friendly side streets, which were lined with small shops and outdoor produce stalls. Limoncello seemed to be by far the most popular souvenir, so if you’re looking for a taste of the famed lemon liqueur, this is a good place to stock up!
Our last stop of the day were the Cloisters of San Francis, where there was a small art exhibition taking place. These cloisters are also located in small park with great views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea, so we enjoyed the views one last time and then it was time to head back.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Positano Fishing Tours - And dolphin spotting!
Positano Fishing Tours is a new activity to do while on the Amalfi Coast. Alberto took us out on his boat early one morning in June . First of all we went looking for dolphins, and we found them, just off the coast of Praiano!
Then we all had a go at fishing for our dinner. Luckily Freddy caught a fish big enough for all of us to share.
We took it to Il Guarracino restaurant later that day and they prepared it for us all to share at dinnertime!
If you would like to join Alberto fishing one day you can contact him at positanofishingtours.com.

Sorrento Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
How to get to Sorrento in Italy and what you can see on holiday in 1 day.
About Sorrento: Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in southern Italy.
It’s within sight of Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe.
A popular tourist destination, Sorrento is easy to reach from Naples airport by bus.
Or you can take the Circumvesuviana railway, passing Herculaneum and Pompeii on the way.
My video of what to see in Positano is here (3m10s):
My video of what to see in Capri is here (3m33s):
You can see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
There are also ferries across the bay to Sorrento’s Marina Piccola.
You can catch ferries from here to the islands of Capri and Ischia as well as back to Naples .
Summer services also run around the Amalfi coastline.
Piazza Tasso, the main square, is a great place to stay.
We stayed at Maison d’Art overlooking the square. It’s a small B&B with friendly staff, free wif-fi AND free cake and a good breakfast.
The elegant cafés in Piazza Tasso, such as the Fauno Bar, are great places to relax and watch the world go by.
Piazza Tasso was named after the 16th century poet Torquato Tasso.
Sorrento is busy with traffic and people all day, even in April, when this film was shot.
and the locals like to weave through the narrow streets on motorbikes and scooters.
Of course, if you fancy something more sedate there are horse-drawn carriages for hire.
The fishing village , Marina Grande, is a great spot to relax away from the busy town centre.
Restaurants, homes and shops rise along the seafront, yet the village has maintained its rustic charm, original identity, and a sense of community.
There's a cottage industry approach toMarina Grande's ancient and primary source of survival, which is fishing.
Plenty of orange trees adorn Sorrento’s streets.
In fact, the cuisine here is big on citrus fruit as well as fish, pizza and pasta.
The varieties of lemon grown around Sorrento date back to Roman times and locals believe that their lemons are the best in the world.
The local liqueur, limoncello, is made from the zest of Sorrento lemons.
Lemons can grow impressively big in these parts too!
Of course, you can buy products from all over Italy here in Sorrento.
Glass is from the Venetian island of Murano, for example.
Or locally produced ceramics.
And Sorrento’s renowned inlaid woodwork.
There are also shops selling a huge variety of leather bags
and stylish shoes and sandals are available at good prices too.
Italy is a Catholic nation and, as you walk around Sorrento, you can see a number of shrines to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Before you leave Sorrento, be sure to check out the Valley of the Mills, just behind Piazza Tasso.
The mill area was isolated from the sea by the construction of Piazza Tasso, which raised the humidity in the valley to unbearable levels and caused the mills in the valley to be abandoned in 1866.
Finally, as day becomes evening you can experience the nighttime ritual of la passeggiata.
As Italians dress up for a gentle stroll through the main streets of the old town, it’s a chance to see and be seen.
