Getting here by ferry is already part of the experience

Sorrento, seen from the sea, is breathtaking, with its dramatic cliffs and colorful houses perched on the rock.

Once you land at Marina Piccola, grab a coffee to fuel up for the day. Why not indulge right away with something local? A sfogliatella or a delizia al limone will give you the perfect energy boost!

To kick things off, escape the crowds and head to one of Sorrento’s most enchanting hidden spots: the Vallone dei Mulini.

This overgrown valley, taken over by nature, has a surreal atmosphere. Stop by the viewpoint near Piazza Tasso and take in its eerie beauty.

From there, walk to Piazza della Vittoria, where a narrow alleyway leads to an ancient medieval staircase that descends all the way to Marina Grande, Sorrento’s charming fishing village.

But this isn’t just any path,walking down these old steps, surrounded by historic walls and sea views, will make you feel like a traveler from another time.

Now, get ready for the real thrill: the sea! If you want to avoid crowded beaches, take a dirt path to one of the most spectacular spots in Sorrento: Bagni della Regina Giovanna.

To reach it, head back to the main road and hop on a bus to Massa Lubrense, getting off at Capo di Sorrento. From there, the descent begins, but trust me, it’s worth every step! Or, if you’re up for something even more exciting, skip the usual trail and reach the area by kayak from Marina Grande. Here, surrounded by cliffs and crystal-clear waters, you’ll find a natural pool, connected to the sea by a small stone arch.

Uncovering something new at every step
