Sorrento

Sorrento One of the finest of the many jewels which stud the peninsula of Sorrento is the city from which it took its name which is merged with the mith of sirens. Probably founded as a Greek colony, it was successively under Etruscan, Syracusan and Samnite domination until the arrival of Romans. The amenities of the site and of the natural landscape, the immensity of the panorama over the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius, Capri, Phlegraean fields, the trasparency of the sea, the temperate weather make this city one of the sanctuaries of international tourism.
