Sorrento
|
![]() |
The Bay of Naples from Sorrento. Sorrento is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides with cliffs to the sea on the other. Narrow streets end in squares with views over the bay. Oranges grow by the roadside. You may say its a dusty town but there is something else as I returned 3 times.

Capri
|
![]() |
A short ferry, hydrofoil or jet foil trip across the bay to Capri. Like a big tooth sticking out of the sea. The portis at the bottom of the hill up to Capri town. A bus ride up to Anacapri at the top of the island and here is the view down from Axel Munthe's house. We take the steps all the way down. | |||
