Sorrento, Italy
Sorrento is a charming town overlooking the Bay of Naples which boasts a selection of fine shops and cafes.
From here you can choose to visit the fabled site of Pompeii for an unforgettable glimpse of life in first century Italy.
Or you may wish to view Herculaneum instead, which was destroyed by the same volcanic eruption as Pompeii. The site here is smaller but better preserved.
