Sorrento may not be as famous as Naples, but that is precisely what makes it an ideal destination for the restless. Thanks to its high cliffs, you can easily marvel at the picturesque views of Gulf of Napes. Many cultural attractions, such as Museo Bottega della Tarsia Lignea and Museo Correale di Terranova, are worth seeing. The former will introduce you to the colorful world of marquetry, while the latter will showcase the Correale family’s ancient treasures. Of course, no visit to this coastal town is complete without visiting the waterfront area dotted with seafood restaurants and swimming piers.
