Your wedding in Sorrento

Your wedding in Sorrento

Sorrento and the Sorrento Coast were the land of the mythical mermaids, the sirens who tempted the seamen with their song. Therefore, the name of the town Sorrento possibly has its origins from the word "sirenide". The Amalfi Coast is reachable through the famous Amalfi Drive, the narrow winding road offering stunning sea views, that goes along the tiny villages of the Divine Costiera till Salerno. From Sorrento you can admire the isles of Capri and Ischia, and the whole Bay of Naples with its famous vulcano, Mount Vesuvius. The historical centre of Sorrento still keeps its most ancient features, the Roman signs and the defensive walls built in 1500. Ferry boats and hydrofoils provide services to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's luxury hotels have attracted famous VIPs, including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti.

Sorrento, 'la terra dell'amore' is famous all over the world thanks to the popular Neapolitan song 'Torna a Surriento', 'Come Back to Sorrento', composed in 1902 and sung by many artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Josè Carreras, Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli, but even performers such as Elivis Presley and Dean Martin who realized a very personal version. Italian and foreign tourists do love this song very much whose text well describes the atmosphere of Sorrento, and the feelings it inspires while you are there. It says: "Look at the sea, how beautiful it is, it inspires so many emotions, like you do with the people you have at hear, you make them dream while they are still awake. Look at this garden and the scent of these oranges, such a fine perfume it goes straight into your heart."
