How to Get to Sorrento
The cruise tender will drop you off at Marina Piccolo and from there it is a short if steep walk into central Sorrento. Alternately there are minibuses or taxis. The main transport hub of Sorrento is Piazza Tasso and from here you can catch buses and trains out of town if you decide to explore the Amalfi Coast or head to Pompeii and Herculaneum.
One Day in Sorrento
Sorrento itself is a pretty town, if quite tourist-oriented. But some of the very best sights of southern Italy are easily reached from Sorrento and highly recommended. Pompeii is world-famous as the town which stopped literally in its tracks when Vesuvius erupted in AD79. Likewise Herculaneum is incredible to see. Both are an easy 30-40 minute train trip away. In the other direction is the Amalfi Coast with its gorgeous towns such as the popular Positano with its pastel cliff-clinging houses and lovely beaches.
Port Information
Sorrento is a tender port so allow a little extra time getting to and from the ship. Once at the cruise tender dock (Marina Piccolo) it’s a short, if hilly walk up to central Sorrento. Sorrento is well set up for tourism and most people speak English. The currency is the euro.

Doing what: Sorrento Shore Excursion: Positano, Amalfi and Ravello Day Trip
Our driver, Gregory, met our ship at
our Sorrento port. From the moment we
met him it was clear it was going to be
a great day! The day began and ended in
Sorrento. We were able to make choices
along the way based on how much time we
wanted to spend in various locations.
He suggested we try his favorite location for
lunch which turned out to be a Michelin 2012
restaurant, and it did not disappoint! If you
want to see Sorrento and the Amalfi coast.
This is the best way to do so! Our group
recommends Gregory and Viator!

Doing what: Sorrento Shore Excursion: Sorrento City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
The hop on hop off bus ride was exceptional. It was a good way in getting a feel as to where the sights were which helped us to be more efficient and therefore be able to see more of the landmarks within the 3 days that we were there. Would I recommend the bus tour? Definitely
