It is easiest to reach Sorrento from Naples, which is about 50 km away. We suggest arriving to Naples Airport by early afternoon giving you enough time to reach Sorrento. If you arrive to Naples very late you should consider traveling to Sorrento the following day. Sorrento Lingue also offers a transfer (private taxi) service from the airport in Rome or Naples. If you wish for the school to arrange a transfer, please send us the arrival information (date and time of arrival and flight or train number) with the enrollments form or at least one week before your arrival date.
