Sample a limoncello or a drink that favors the citrus flavor of a Sorrento lemon. The region has some succulent lemon trees. We also recommend trying the local olive oil while you're sightseeing in Sorrento.

What people are saying about Sorrento

Exhilarating boat ride to the beautiful Isle of Capri

After an exhilarating and somewhat wet! boat ride from waves crashing over the bow, we circumnavigated the Isle seeing various grottoes before arriving at the port of Capri. Free time allotted and a few hours spent exploring this gorgeous town, walking the beautiful alleys to the cliff top and then admiring the panoramic views from above. There was a small beach to enjoy lying on or a swim too. A fantastic day tour to a most stunning Isle.

Fantastic boat ride around Capri with our wonderful guide.

We had a great boat ride around the island. 4 hours to spend in Capri.. for us not much to do as we are not into shopping and one of us can't do heights. I later saw another excursion which offered a boat ride around capri and the amalfi coast which would have been more suitable. All in all, great experience and I would have wondered what we had missed in capri
