Sorrento Conference 2010 - About Sorrento
Sorrento sits on a long cliff amid lemon and olive groves overlooking the sea. A ravine divides the town with the pretty old town on one side and the suburban area with hotels on the other. The old town, still retaining its Roman grid of narrow streets, was an important trading post in the middle ages. Its many hotels and restaurants, as well as easy access and good public transportation make Sorrento a good base for exploring the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Vesuvius, and other Bay of Naples attractions.
The Sorrentine Peninsula represents the ideal place for people loving good food. The local gastronomy smells and tastes, have reached international fame creating the mythe of the Mediterreanean diet.
