  • "Smoothie ride"

    Awesome travel experience to get to Rotto from Hillary’s Marina, Sorrento. Quick, efficient and friendly staff. Take your bike if you want to or hire one on the island. Luggage is stored safely for the trip or you can keep with you if travelling light like I did. Highly recommend! Thanks.
