The Sorrento Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, a narrow strip of land renowned for its rugged coastline, terraced lemon orchards, and charming towns like Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. The peninsula's landscape is defined by steep cliffs that plunge into the sea, interspersed with coves and beaches. Inland, the hills are covered with olive groves and vineyards. The area is a paradise for hikers, with trails like the Path of the Gods offering stunning views. Visitors can explore historic villages, sample local limoncello, and enjoy fresh seafood. The mild climate makes it a year-round destination, but spring and fall are ideal for outdoor activities.
