Sorrento Tours & Holidays 2022 | Newmarket Holidays

JOIN US ON A HOLIDAY TO SORRENTO

Perched on a clifftop and offering dramatic, plunging views of the aquamarine Bay of Naples, Sorrento is a little slice of heaven in Italy’s stunning south.

The weather is balmy all year round, but in summer, the elevated location means it’s cooler than much of the surrounding area, making Sorrento holidays an ideal year-round choice for the discerning traveller.

At Newmarket Holidays we know the town has plenty of amazing things to do beyond staring in awe at its wonderful natural surroundings. Piazza Tasso is a colourful, bustling centre where local artisans and high-end bars coexist. Alongside all this there are restaurants that produce food so delicious you’ll be desperate to devour everything you see. Sorrento tours allow you to meander through this mishmash of unique amenities.

During the day you can cruise down Corso Italia, window shopping at numerous designer stores. For a more authentic experience there are dozens of narrow passageways around the main streets, each jam-packed with local shops, restaurants, and bars. The town is also home to an abundance of green space, for when you want to escape the busy centre, and with a Sorrento escorted tour you’ll be able to explore it all.

Things to see on Sorrento holidays

Nestled by a small bay, the scenic fishing village of Marina Grande is situated in the Western half of the town. The village has plenty of rustic charm and offers a lot of authentic experiences, a favourite being eating at the family-run tavernas and restaurants on the shore.

Pompeii is known for being home to snapshots of Ancient Roman life perfectly preserved by volcanic ash, and this historical marvel is just a short train ride or drive away from Sorrento. An astounding excursion that should be part of any Sorrento itinerary.

The only thing better than a drive along the picturesque Amalfi Coast is stopping off at the towns that dot the shoreline to sample the local delicacies. The drive does have some classic hairpin bends, but this adrenaline rush only adds to the magnificence of the views.

Things to do in Sorrento

Strolling through the idyllic Old Town of Sorrento is a must. Although often crowded, there’s a reason why so many people love to head here: from aesthetically pleasing pastel houses on long, winding cobbled streets, to the excellent food on offer, it’s a great place to spend a day.

This area of Italy is famous for Limoncello, the bright, zesty drink that’s handed out after meals to help your food go down. At Liminoro you can see how the beverage is made, as well as being given the chance to sample a fresh batch.

A visit to Frantio Gargiulo is a necessity for any Sorrento holiday. This large olive farm is just a short drive from Sorrento, but is like entering another world, with endless groves of the famous fruit. Make sure you get a tasting tour so you can really appreciate the joy of freshly pressed olive oil.

Food & drink in Sorrento

Under the baking south Italian sun there’s no better treat than gelato, and Gelateria David is the king of ice-cool spots in a town full to the brim with excellent sweet concoctions.

There are over thirty flavours to pick from in this Sorrento institution, but regardless of which you pick you’ll be sure to want more.

Although it’s somewhat controversial, many believe this corner of Italy is the spiritual home of pizza. Neapolitan pizza, perfected in the nearby bustling city, is a must-eat for anybody visiting Sorrento.

When the food is pretty much perfect everywhere you go, as it is in Sorrento, the rest of the experience has to be top-notch to elevate an eatery. At ‘O Parucchiano you get to eat delicious food in the shadow of gorgeous lemon trees, making the al fresco experience even more idyllic.
