About this holiday
Seven nights in Sorrento, a town on the bay of Naples with views of Mount Vesuvius. It is a practical base: ferries leave for Capri, trains run to Pompeii, and the coast road leads to Positano and Amalfi.
The package includes return flights from the UK to Naples, a 5-star hotel in Sorrento with breakfast each morning and return airport transfers. Spend a day on Capri, another at Pompeii, and the rest on the coast. Summer is busy, and the roads can be slow.
