Ready to turn your Italian summer dreams into a reality? Kickstart your adventures along the Amalfi Coast with a stop-in at Sorrento and Positano. This scenic seaside paradise offers picturesque cliffs, quaint Italian architecture and an abundance of Limoncello (no, seriously, life gave Sorrento lemons, and they did what any self-respecting Italian would do and made lemon liqueur). Before you dive into the spoils of the region, be sure to take a dip in the cool blue waters, best accessed on the famous Leonelli's beach or Bagni Salvatore swimming area, which also happens to be set against ancient Roman ruins. When you're not sipping and splashing in summer splendour, take a stroll through the town and visit the 15th-century Roman-style Cathedral of Saint Philip and James, and the Museo Correale di Terranova. Take in sweeping views of the bay at Villa Comunale di Sorrento, check out Vallone Dei Mulini - a historic valley filled with tree-covered ruins, and grab a bite to eat and souvenir along Via Marina Grande. Not only is Sorrento a gateway to the Amalfi Coast, but it also provides easy access to Naples, Italy's third largest city and home of Margherita pizza. Now THAT's amore.
