Pompeii to Sorrento and Amalfi: Private day trip

Settled by the Ancient Greeks, the dramatic clifftop city of Sorrento became a staple holiday destination in the 19th century when Lord Byron brought it to the attention of the vacationing literary geniuses including Dickens, Goethe, and Tolstoy. This stunning city has been attracting discerning travelers ever since, who are treated to stunning views, as well as beautiful historic monuments, such as the Cathedral, the doors of which originated in Constantinople in the 11th century. Along with the scenery and monuments, Sorrento (and the Amalfi Coast) is known for its cuisine, and limoncello. If you want a taste of local culture, take a guided tour at one of the city's many limoncello distilleries!
