Hertz Car Rental in Sorrento
The resort of Sorrento stands on the south west coast of Italy. It is 30 miles south of the major city of Naples, which stands on the other side of the Bay. If you rent a car in Sorrento you’ll be able to explore the city itself, the attractive peninsular it stands on and the rest of the Bay of Naples too, including Naples, Vesuvius and Pompeii. Sorrento’s rocky and mountainous peninsular is definitely worth exploring: the winding coastal road along the cliffs to the pretty seaside villages of Amalfi and Positano is one of the landscape wonders of Europe.
If you rent a car in Sorrento you’ll soon find it’s a popular tourist destination with scores of top quality hotels. Yet, it has the smallest of waterfronts, down at the foot of a steep cliff. It’s not a beach resort – instead most visitors take boat trips around the Bay of Naples. These include visits to the islands of Capri and Ischia. The city itself has a relaxed romantic atmosphere without any major sights of its own. Most visitors explore the shops, cafes and restaurants around the central Piazza Tasso and main street Via San Cesareo. Search a bit harder, however, and you’ll find a small 14th century cathedral, an archaeological museum and a medieval monastery.
