Sorrento

This resort town straddles cliffs with views to Naples and Mt Vesuvius. According to Greek legends, sailors to this part of Italy would be lured by sirens (mythical maidens cum monsters) whose voices and songs would lead them and their ships to doom. Sorrento is now less dangerous and known for its ceramics, lacework and inlaid-wood items.

We checked into our hotel at Sorrento in the night-time. The next morning, we took a ferry to the Isle of Capri and spent our day there. We returned to our hotel at Sorrento for the second night before checking-out the next morning to continue our grand Italian tour.
