Sorrento is a small city in Campania, Italy and is a popular tourist destination. For nearly 2,000 years visitors from all over the world have been attracted to it's breathtaking sunsets & fragrances of orange & lemon gardens. The town overlooks the bay of Naples & many viewpoints allow sight of Naples, Vesuvius and the island of Capri. The Amalfi drive connecting Sorrento & Amalfi is the narrow road that threads around the high cliffs above the Mediterranean. Ferry boats & hydrofoils provide service to Naples, Amalfi, Positano & Capri. They are known for their products made from lemons, in particular lemoncello. They produce about 30,000 tons of lemons annually. We saw lemons the size of soft balls (no kidding).
Walking around Sorrento was a real treat. Narrow streets with beautiful shops and charming restaurants. We ate lunch at "La Lanterna." We have always said that you can't get a bad meal in Italy and this was no exception. We had salad, pizza, chianti, cookies & lemoncello. Very few places can beat Chicago for pizza, but Naples is where pizza was invented and it was just wonderful.
