Piazza Tasso is a lovely square in Sorrento…read more Lucky to stumble across a local festival on our cruise ship tour to Sorrento and Pompeii. Our tour guide was not sure what they were celebrating. Take time to check out the beautiful baroque yellow church and everything Limoncello while you are in the neighborhood. The lemons in Sorrento are enormous and the geography reflects their impact. Limoncello granitas. Lemon pasta. Lemon biscotti. Lemons on everything from dish towels, baskets and bags to headbands. My sister-in-law even bought a pair of swim shorts that were covered with a large lemons in the pattern. Nice for a short stop while exploring Sorrento. Tip: There is a bathroom next to the church. It takes one euro each.

The smaller walking streets around it are pretty cool too for all kinds of things and souvenirs if they are desired. There are some great places for coffee too. The square can get pretty busy with cruise ships coming in and out of Naples and Sorrento so if you like it a little less crowded, get there early or in the off season.

There's access to get down to the beach area, which isn't bad on the way down but it's a trek back up - although there is a paid elevator you can take back up. Dont miss it!

This area afforded stunning views of the water below along with mountain views in the distance. It was the perfect combination of land, water and so much more. There were also about 250 steps that led to the beach area below. In my opinion, the area was perfection.

With beautiful blue water, views of the steep cliffs from sea level, and Mt. Vesuvius in the background, it's very picturesque and worth experiencing even if you aren't catching a ferry. There are some cafes and a few touristy souvenir kiosks, one that sold some very pretty and functional tote bags. I purchased one that folded up to practically nothing and easily fit into my handbag. This way, I always had a tote to carry any items I bought along the way. For $5, my tote covered in signature Sorrento lemons was a treasure! The beach here isn't what one typically envisions. There is no sand and not much space. Most areas are owned by the hotels and they have private lifts that take you down to their private docks lined with recliners. On the far south end is a public area and if you are coming from the town above, you can walk down a path of steps and switchbacks to reach the public docks and cafes. From above, the lift / elevator is located over by the museum and small. For just $1 euro each way, you can make it down to the beach or back up to the town easily. Some people walk down then take the lift up. After a full day of walking, I did the round trip for $2 and it was totally worth it!
