Visit Pompeii for a glimpse at the cruel beauty of nature, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius covered the buildings and many of the wealthy Roman inhabitants in 79AD. This tragedy lay under volcanic ash until much more recent times when careful excavations revealed an almost perfectly preserved town. If you are visiting Sorrento then this is the one attraction that you simply cannot miss.
Book to see the Tarantella show at the Tasso Theatre. The show uses music and dance to express the history and culture of the region. This involves extensive use of flamboyant colour, loud music and talented dancers. The audience are mesmerised from beginning to end by the changing scenery, swirling costumes and beguiling moves. For the bravest amongst the audience there is the opportunity to join the dancers on stage for the finale, the pre-show drinks make joining in fun, if not wise.
Take a boat trip to the beautiful island of Capri, the short boat trip itself offers breathtaking views before you reach the island. Once on Capri travel inland to check out the grand villas of the rich and famous – the island is well known as a favourite destination of the wealthy.
Whilst on Capri the one sight that you must see is the Blue Grotto, a cave where the reflection of sunlight makes the water appear the most rich clear blue imaginable. The cave can only be reached by rowing boat and if you are very lucky your boatman will demonstrate the acoustics of the cave by singing to you.
