Sorrento: An Introduction to the "Vibe" and our First Impressions

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

While we've talked about great deal about the Amalfi Coast, we only recently realized on a short trip up to Sorrento that we've never talked about it by itself, despite the fact we've been there so often. Today, we've decided to rectify that! In this episode we talk about the general vibe of Sorrento, our first impressions upon seeing it through the eyes of tourists, and who we think Sorrento is the best fit for in terms of vacations needs (versus Positano or Capri). The restaurant we recommended in this episode is called "L'Angolo Del Gusto Di Astarita Bruno E Ferdinando." It's just past the Ristorante Sant'Antonino, on Via Santa Maria delle Grazie. The gelato shop we mentioned in this episode is called Raki, which has two locations, one on Via S. Cesareo and the other on Sorrento's main street Corso Italia.As mentioned, we have some articles about getting to Sorrento from Naples on our website, onlyabag.com.Naples to Sorrento.Naples Airport to Sorrento. As mentioned in this episode, we'll be changing our name to "The Italy Travel Podcast" as well as our podcast cover art next week. Plus we started a Patreon!
