Sorrento, perched on a stunning cliff overlooking the Bay of Naples, is a jewel of southern Italy with a history dating back thousands of years. Its origins trace back to ancient Greek settlers, later succeeded by the Romans. Known in antiquity as “Surrentum,” the town was celebrated for its strategic location and for producing fine wine and olive oil.
