The ancient Greeks once founded the city of Sireon, that is, the land of the sirens. According to ancient Greek legend, ships often crashed on the rocks of the Sorrento coast, because sailors were fascinated by the singing of sea sirens. Many people know this story from the famous "Odyssey". And apparently this is partly true, since the local lands gained fame as the homeland of Neapolitan music, which conquered the whole world. This resort is recognized as one of the most comfortable, high standard and offering a variety of services by the tourist center of Italy. But the eternal fame and celebrity of Sorrento was brought by such names as Goethe, Stendhal, Gorky, Wagner, Nietzsche, etc. But this was enough for tourists from all over the world to come here, to the beaches of Sorrento.
The magnificent panorama of the Sorrento coastline seems to many to be a real paradise on Earth. The scent of flowering lemon and orange trees, the wonderful aroma of fruits and flowers, the amazing blue sea and the enchanting views of the cities scattered along the entire peninsula, cozy coves and small beaches - this is the real charm of the Italian region of Campania. Famous artists loved to depict the sea near Sorrento in their famous canvases, while writers and musicians visited the coast for inspiration. And now many creative people are striving for the best sandy beaches of Sorrento.
Meta di Sorrento
This is the largest beach in the entire city. It has two beach areas - Marina di Alimuri, covered with sand, and Piaggia di Meta, covered with pebbles. Since this beach is almost overcrowded with vacationers from mid-June to mid-September, it is recommended to come in the early hours in order to take the most comfortable places and become the owner of a good paid umbrella.
Yeranto beach
This beach is not located in the city, but in the neighboring village of Yeranto. This name is still of Greek origin, albeit Latinized. Comes from the word "Jerax", which means "predator". Despite such a formidable name, the surroundings of the beach are unusually beautiful.
Marina di Cassano
This place is also incredibly picturesque. There are hotels near it, where you can get well, comfortably, get settled.
Pignatella beach
There are also stunning natural views, wonderful pine trees growing on the rocks. And all1 this is adjacent to a well-thought-out infrastructure.
Marinella S. Agniello
A very popular beach, and also with good infrastructure.
