Look beyond Sorrento: the Sorrentine Peninsula includes a number of less famous towns that are home to fascinating historic sights, lovely beaches, and excellent restaurants. Here are helpful overviews of the various towns located along Sorrento's coastline.
If it's your first visit to the Sorrentine Peninsula and you plan on getting around by public transportation, staying in the center of Sorrento is the most convenient option. If you're getting around by car and visiting outside the months of July and August (when traffic can get very snarled), you may want to consider staying in another town.
We suggest:
Massa Lubrense: for walking and hiking enthusiasts
Meta: for those who are planning a beach holiday
Vico Equense: for lovers of good food who want to explore off the beaten track
