The star of the show around here is Sorrento. Home to two lovely marinas and a maze of cute cobbled streets, you’re sure to be charmed by its understated elegance. Further down towards the Amalfi Coast, Positano is a vision of pastel-coloured villas with the most superb sea views.
Stir your senses with a taste of the region’s famous lemon liquor: limoncello. The sun-soaked lemons here are so sweet, and for the best buffalo mozzarella, you’re in the right place. Try some on a Pizza Margherita, another local creation. Grab a harbourside table for the finest setting.
The archaeological phenomenon of Pompeii is an absolute must-see on every Sorrento holiday. An ancient city frozen in time, you’ll be amazed by the well-preserved artefacts on show. Favoured by the rich and famous, the island of Capri oozes glitz and glam. Make like the jet-setters and sail across to this exclusive sun-drenched retreat.
A fragrant frame of lush lemon trees and bougainvillea in bloom surround Sorrento’s sophisticated central piazza, cobbled lanes and picturesque parks.
This clifftop town overlooks the dreamy coastline and turquoise sea.
This peaceful, picturesque commune lies on the sun-kissed Neapolitan Riviera.
Across this sweeping arc of beach, you’ll find blackened volcanic sands and blissfully glossy blue seas that are simply out of this world.
Nestled peacefully around 10km from Sorrento lies the little village of Seiano, where a palette of plush greens will welcome you upon arrival.
The little village enjoys stunning panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. Close to Sorrento, Sant’Agata also boasts an exceptional gourmet restaurant, considered one of Italy’s best eateries.
Lying by the coastline close to pebble beaches, Castellammare di Stabia takes in some marvellous mountain and sea views.
Immerse yourself in true Italian life here in Piano di Sorrento. Stretching from coast to coast on the Neapolitan Riviera, you’ll get to see this intriguing region from all angles.
Tucked away in a dinky cove 18km south of Sorrento, this small but buzzy bay is where the locals go for a low-key seaside escape.
It’s all about poolside lounging and retro bathing platforms in much of this seaside paradise. But if you’re after a traditional stretch of sand to mooch on, the island of Ischia is your best bet. It’s kitted out with one of the largest patches, and most of it’s free, too.

Over on the island of Capri, the Blue Grotto is an enchanting sight to behold. Head there on a boat and watch as sunlight peeps through the rocks and illuminates this stunning sea cave. Don’t miss out on UNESCO-stamped marvels back inland, for particularly remarkable historic gems.

Seafood is a staple here, and the focus is on local, fresh and simple. There are plenty of Amalfi Coast delicacies, where fish is gently simmered in water with a simple trio of flavours – tomatoes, garlic and parsley. Pitch up in a traditional eatery and feast for hours.
