| Sheltered by mountains and tempered by sea breezes, the Sorrentine Peninsula has been abundantly blessed by the gods. Deep gorges radiate down to the sea, wild rocky promontories separate the gorges, all bearing witness to cataclysmic geological events of the distant past. Steep slopes covered with ancient olive trees drop sharply into the sea. Sorrento is a busy resort town with an air of gentility about it and a dramatic setting on a cliff above a small bay, with hills and mountains rising behind. Picturesque narrow streets in the old town, interesting churches and walks through the olive groves in the hills above the town make it a lovely place to stay. |
