Sorrento Dividing the two Gulfs of Naples and Salerno is the appealing Sorrentine peninsula, home to the characteristic town of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi – literally ‘Saint Agata on the two gulfs’. The only place on the coast where there are panoramic views of both gulfs, with beautiful views of Vesuvius.
At the tip of the Sorrentine peninsula is the pretty town of Sorrento; the nearest point on the mainland to the island of Capri. Its name, derived from the mythical sirens, Sorrento continues to entice visitors to its shores.
