The Campania region of Italy's mezzogiorno - or south, literally meaning midday - is a traveller's delight. With a stunning coastline dotted with attractive towns and ancient ruins, and a string of islands glistening in the distant Tyrrhenian, it's hardly surprising the region attracts visitors from afar. And the small town of Sorrento is no exception: as the legend goes, sirens would lure sailors to their death off the Sorrento shores; today, you're more likely to see ferries and boats bobbing up and down in the clear blue waters of the marina. Take one of these out to the nearby island of Capri, or head south along the gorgeous Amalfi coast…or just sit back in one of the open-air cafés and cool off with a delicious, locally-produced, limoncello.
