Sorrento
Sorrento is a small town in Campania in southern Italy. It is a popular tourist destination which can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii. The town overlooks the Bay of Naples as the key place of the Sorrentine Peninsula, and many viewpoints allow sight of Naples itself, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive (connecting Sorrento and Amalfi) is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted notable people, including the famous Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. Sorrento is famous for the production of limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar.
