Emperor Augustus and his successor, Tiberius, were two of Sorrento's
early devotees. In later years the town became a favorite destination
for artists and writers, as well as tourists. Although the presence of
crowds may dull some of its magic at times, Sorrento's charming
cobblestone streets, alluring lungomare (seafront promenade), colorful
and fragrant flowers, matchless vistas, and lively cultural scene keep
getting interest among travellers. |
