Sorrento
has long held a special place in the heart of Italians. Its
rugged beauty has attracted poets, philosophers, playwrights,
and authors for centuries. Roman mythology places Sorrento as
the spot where sailors were lured to their death by the songs
of the sirens, mermaids who used their beautiful voices to
lead men to their watery graves. It’s said that the mythical
hero Ulysses stuffed his crew’s ears with wax to deafen them
and strapped himself to the ship’s hull in order to resist
their allure.
Today,
the city is still every bit as alluring. Sorrento is on the
beautiful Amalfi Coast, a strip of land in Western Italy that
overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. The small island of Capri is
just three miles off shore, and one of Italy’s most
beautiful (but dangerous) roads winds along from Sorrento,
through Amalfi and into Salerno. Sorrento is equidistant from
both Naples and Salerno, exactly 43 miles away from each. Vic
Damone’s tear-jerking hit, “Come Back to Sorrento” may
become your theme song once you visit this little slice of
paradise.
