Visit the historical center of Sorrento, Tasso Square, and the beautiful Sant’Antonino Church, dedicated to the town’s patron saint. Discover Vallone dei Mulini, where 13th-century mills sit overgrown in a valley. Each stop offers beautiful views and a glimpse into Sorrento’s history.

A local guide will accompany you on the Sorrento Walking Tour and share interesting stories as you explore the city. For example, hear how Sant’Antonino Church protected the town from pirates and how Sorrento became famous for its lemons and limoncello. You will also learn about the poet Torquato Tasso, who was born here in 1544.
I visited Sorrento as part of my Amalfi coast trip, and I’m so glad I did. The guide gave us useful tips about the area, and I learned so much about the history of the town and its surroundings. I also enjoyed seeing the Valley of the Mills, and the views of the Bay of Naples were stunning. Definitely visit Sorrento if you’re close by!
The walk to Marina Grande was my favorite part. Our guide, Gianni, told us all about the fishing history in the village, plus the colorful houses by the water were beautiful. The street food was also a standout for me. We stopped at some local spots, and everything tasted so fresh. The tour was also well organized and covered all the most important parts of Sorrento.

SORRENTO’S VIBRANT MAIN SQUARE
Begin your Sorrento Walking Tour in Piazza Tasso, the lively and historic center of the town, named after the 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso. While you explore the Piazza, your guide will show you the Basilica of Sant’Antonino, which is dedicated to the patron saint of Sorrento. With ornate interiors and an intriguing past, this historic church features beautiful Baroque elements. While you’re here, your guide will point out the best spots to enjoy a delicious tagliere with local salami and cheese, giving you a true taste of the region.
THE ANCIENT VALLONE DEI MULINI
Next, you’ll visit the Vallone dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills), an ancient site dating back to the 13th century. Located on the edge of a deep ravine, the valley is home to abandoned stone flour mills. Your guide will tell you about the historical importance of these mills in Sorrento’s economy as you take in the overgrown remains. See why these abandoned structures are one of the town’s most fascinating attractions.
SEE THE SORRENTO CATHEDRAL AND CHIOSTRO DI SAN FRANCESCO
Continue your tour with a visit to Sorrento Cathedral, a beautiful 11th-century cathedral dedicated to Saints Philip and James. Your guide will talk about its rich history as you admire its impressive façade. Nearby, you’ll also visit the Chiostro di San Francesco, a 14th-century cloister that combines early Christian and medieval architecture. The cloister, with its serene gardens, is still used to host weddings and provides a quiet retreat from all the activity in the town.
EXPLORE A CHARMING FISHING VILLAGE
Finally, you will visit Marina Grande, an old fishing village with colorful houses and stunning views of the Neapolitan Riviera. Your guide will share stories about the area’s fishing techniques, which have been passed down for generations. Enjoy a cuoppo fritto, a cone stuffed with crispy fried fish, or try other regional specialties, while taking in the peaceful atmosphere of this beachside location. Experiences like this capture the charm and authenticity you’ll find when you visit Amalfi Coast.

The legend of Sorrento’s Sirens
Sorrento's coastline is rich in ancient legends, with one of the more well-known being the myth of the Sirens. The legend says that these enchanting creatures were said to live on the cliffs above the Bay of Naples. They would lure sailors in with their irresistible songs and cause ships to crash on the rocks.
One of the most famous stories from Greek mythology is about Odysseus, who ordered his crew to block their ears with wax while sailing near the Sirens’ island. To prevent himself from giving in to the temptation of hearing the sirens’ songs, he had himself tied to the mast. Today, visitors can still experience the charm of Sorrento's shores, as the haunting beauty of the coastline keeps the legend alive. The story of the Sirens adds a touch of mystical charm to this town.
