Sorrento Day Trip from Positano — Lemon Groves and Cliffside Town
Positano, Italy
About This Activity
Catch the Travelmar ferry from Positano to Sorrento (35 minutes, €15 one-way) and spend the day in this cliffside lemon-scented town perched above the Bay of Naples. Walk through the historic centre to Piazza Tasso for espresso and a sfogliatella pastry, then duck through the Sedile Dominova loggia to the surprising Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills) — a sunken abandoned mill district reclaimed by ferns and ivy. The Museo Correale displays Neapolitan decorative arts and has a garden terrace overlooking the bay (€8). Return by ferry or hire a scooter for the coastal drive.
Seasonal note: Lemon harvest April-October; ferry schedules reduced off-season
