Sorrento, such a contrast to Ischia. One expects to see Ibsen or Goethe popping out from around the corner. It retains the Grand Tour atmosphere. The gardens are lush and extravagant - especially in the palazzos and lavish hotels. It is a perfect place to stay as a base for exploring the Amalfi Coast.
as there is no beach to speak of, bathing is done off pontoons/piers
elegant courtyards
the main town is on a cliff!
we went to this evening of opera and Neopolitan songs, in a palazzo!
interesting photography exhibition
lots of English tourists in Sorrento. ..
