Once an essential stop-over for Grand Tour travelers—including Herman Melville and Charles Dickens—Sorrento is as happening now as it was a century ago, thanks to the recent opening of several artisanal restaurants and well-edited boutiques. The port town is also a great jumping-off point for exploring the Amalfi Coast, including the cliffside village of Positano (a 40-minute bus ride from Sorrento), and the island of Capri, a 25-minute ferry ride away.
