SORRENTO - EXCURSIONS

For an additional fee, Sorrento Lingue will arrange excursions that allow you to get better acquainted with the region. To name a few, we offer:

Day in Capri and Ischia
Explore Capri and Ischia, the two main islands of the Bay of Naples. Capri is probably one of the most famous islands in the world, a place known for its natural beauty such as the Blue Grotto (the Grotta Azzurra) and the dramatic Faraglioni rocks along the shore, as well as its fame as an isle of the international jet set. Dominated by the dormant Mount Epomeo, Ischia, or “Isola verde” (Green island) tempts you to soak in its magnificent thermal baths, suntan along its beautiful beaches, or appreciate its verdant scenery.

A glimpse of the Amalfi Coast
John Steinbeck once described the Amalfi Coast as “a dream place that isn’t quite real”. Explore the turquoise coastline of the Amalfi, its dramatic sea cliffs, watchtowers and Roman ruins, groves and beaches, monasteries and villages. Towns and sights may include the charming fishing village Positano, the monastery Desert in Sant’Agata, and the charming harbor of Amalfi.

A Taste Of Naples
Naples -- a beautiful town that is so rich in history that at the end of the past century, Stendhal thought that it was the only town (together with Paris) that could claim the title of capital of Europe. Sights include the city's historic Baroque district Spaccanapoli, the Duomo di San Gennaro, the grand Palazzo Reale built at the height of 18th century Bourbon power, the neoclassical basilica San Francesco di Paola, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, and shopping along the Galleria Umberto I and Via Chiaia.

Behold Pompeii and Herculaneum
Pompeii and Herculaneum remain just as they were almost 2,000 years ago when the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD engulfed the thriving Roman cities in ash. Discovered in the 18th century, the cities are perfectly intact, enabling you to spend a day doing as the Romans did. Traverse their roads; imagine gossiping in their forums, sleeping in their civilized houses, and watching an ancient play or ritual in their amphitheatres. For more information, click here.
