Sorrento is a small city in Campania, Italy, with some 16,500 inhabitants.
It is a popular tourist destination.
The town can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii,
as it lies at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line.
The town overlooks the bay of Naples, as the key place of the Sorrentine Peninsula,
and many viewpoints in the city allow sight of Naples itself (visible across the bay),
Vesuvius and the island of Capri.
The Amalfi Drive (connecting Sorrento and Amalfi) is the narrow road
that threads around the high cliffs above the Mediterranean.
Ferry boats and hydrofoils provide services to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia.
Sorrento's sea cliffs are impressive and its luxury hotels have attracted famous
personalities, including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti.
Sorrento is famous for the production of limoncello, an alcoholic digestif
made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar.
Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives.
Wood craftsmanship is also developed.
