Sorrento is a very quaint town located in the southern part of Italy and very close to Naples. It is an hour drive from Naples. We visited this small town for a day as I had heard very good things about the place and indeed it is a very charming and attractive time. This place has a touch of yellow. It is famous for it's abundance of lemons and hence everywhere in the streets you see variety of lemon products sold. Not only that even the other souvenirs are mostly yellow in color. It reminded me of Mykonos where the theme was white and blue, and this place was all yellow and white and some blues also.
I really loved this place. To be honest there was no place in Italy which disappointed me, I loved the whole place. But, if someone would ask me, do I wish to settle here, then my answer would be No. It is too expensive. The cost of living would get very high. The transport and food was tearing up the pockets. For a one time holiday it is good, but I would not want to stay in such a place which rips up your pocket.
That's the streets of Sorrento. You will see how yellow is the highlight.
Some baby dresses, again mostly yellow with lemon designs. They looked cute, I do not have any small baby in my family else I would have taken one :-)
There are all different types of souvenirs like magnets, soaps, bells, plates, different types of drinks....all in yellow. The streets look very bright because of the color. Compared to the other tourist spots in Italy this place was comparatively a little cheaper. Most of the souvenirs we could get in 3 to 5 euros. I wanted to pick up quite a few to gift.
The buildings and villas were most of them in shades of yellow.
The place was filled with tourist.
Besides the lemony things, there were some other eye candys also in the streets, like this florist, and some art works.
There were quite a few open seating restaurants all across on the streets. After spending a good amount of time exploring the streets we settled in for a meal in one of those
I loved this place, it had very good vibes. This is the city center, it is a small town with some most gorgeous views which I will share in another post.
Every town and city in Italy had a Clock Tower, some had access to the top, some did not.
That's a wonderful view from the top and you will see that how this town is set on a hilly region.
The mood of the day was black for me. If I had known that this was a yellow town, I would have worn something yellow...hehehe
This place reminded me of the song....I wonder how, I wonder why
yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky, and all that I can see, is just a yellow lemon tree. I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around, and all that I can see Is just another lemon tree..... :-)...hehehe. Hope you all enjoyed touring the streets of Sorrento
