| Itineraries: Sorrento |
Imagine a terrace of tuff suspended on the sea and covered of green and citruses, with Mediterranean colors and the Lattari mounts behinds. Listen to the waves of the sea break in the remoter gorges; the hugs of tender lovers; the craftsmen engaged in the inlays; the girls who walk along the bustling narrow lanes of lively coloured shops and the thousand perfumed lemons. Smell, at last, the scents realized on the place with the citruses and sit in the bars in order to taste a white delight or during the winter a warm chocolate. This partially is Sorrento.
