Sorrento, Italy Vacations

Renown as where the delicious Limoncello liqueur originated from, Sorrento has more to offers than tickling your palate, experience great sea fishing, diving, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants.
Where the remains of the Ancient City Walls are, there lie the monuments, churches and the testimonies of antique civilizations; walking through the streets of the historical centre, the antique Greek-Roman structure is still legible, memory represented vividly in via Pietà, via S. Cesareo, via Padre Reginaldo Giuliani and via Tasso.
