Sorrento is one of the rare examples of a coastal town that lacks a proper beach, however, there is something quite magical about the overhanging cliffs that afford a spectacular view of the endlessly beautiful sight of the azure blue sea. The rugged mountainside dominating the shoreline is symbolic of the entire town; a simplistic, no-thrills image that remains true to its authentic self, yet adheres to the growing rise in tourism. A few souvenir shops have sneaked into the town centre, though they are a cut above your typical tacky display, selling unique antiques and bespoke clothing. The architecture and infrastructure are quintessentially Italian; the Cattedrale di Sorrento and Chiostro di San Francesco are remarkable piece of structural design, epitomising the historical culture resting in the region. The buildings may exude a quintessential Italian heritage, but if you were to head to the restaurants you’ll find the desire to appeal to tourists; menus in restaurants are in English and the businesses operating in the town are generally designed to appeal to English tourists. Other nationalities are represented in the region, creating a diverse mix in beautiful Italian surroundings.
Local buses cover most of the popular areas, though most choose to cover the compact town centre by foot. Taxis are also readily available for quick and convenient transport.
The port of Capri is located on the north side of the island which itself can be found in the Tyrrhenian Sea on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, Italy. Ferry services connect the island with the mainland as well as other neighbouring islands. The main terminal is located at Marina Grande to the north of the main town of Capri and at the foot of Mount Solaro. For most of the year Capri does not allow non-resident cars or motorbikes to be used on the island. A car is of little use for the tourist anyway as the public transport is excellent. Shops, restaurants, bars and all kind of utilities welcome those who arrive or depart the port.
