Holiday in Italy – Sorrento
Some years ago, we made an organized tour to Sorrento, Italy. Why Sorrento? We knew that it was a beautiful small town. In 2016 its population was about 16609 inhabitants. Sorrento offered a nice way to make short excursions on one’s own to the nearby places like Capri, Vesuvius and Pompeii. We also visited Naples, but I did not shoot many photos from there and that is why I am not going to post any posts from there.
Although it has passed many years since our visit, it is still in our memory. Capri is an island, where You could visit once in the life time. Same words are valid also for Vesuvius and Pompeii. I could visit Pompeii once more, because I love history and it was full of awesome history.
Welcome to walk with us thru my photos in these three places!

Vacaciones en Italia – Sorrento
Alguns anos atrás, hicimos un viaje organizado a Sorrento, Italia. ¿Por qué Sorrento? Sabíamos que era una ciudad pequeña y hermosa. En 2016 su población ascendía a 16609 habitantes. Sorrento ofreció una buena manera de hacer excursiones cortas sin ayuda de nadie a lugares cercanos como Capri, Vesubio y Pompeya. También visitamos Nápoles, pero no tomé muchas fotos desde allí y es por eso que no publicaré ninguna publicación desde allí.
Aunque ha pasado muchos años desde nuestra visita, todavía está en nuestra memoria. Capri es una isla, donde se puede visitar una vez en la vida. Las mismas palabras son válidas también para el Vesubio y Pompeya. Pude visitar Pompeya una vez más, porque me encanta la historia y estaba llena de una historia increíble.

En 2016, sa population était d’environ 16609 habitants. Sorrente offrait un moyen agréable de faire de courtes excursions de sa propre iniative dans des endroits proches comme Capri, le Vésuve et Pompéi. Nous avons également visité Naples, mais je n’ai pas pris beaucoup de photos à partir de là et c’est pourquoi je ne vais pas publier de messages à partir de là.
Bien que plusieurs années se soient écoulées depuis notre visite, elles sont toujours dans notre mémoire. Capri est une île, où vous pourriez visiter une fois dans la vie. Les mêmes mots valent aussi pour le Vésuve et Pompéi. Je pourrais visiter Pompéi une fois de plus, parce que j’aime l’histoire et il était pleine d’histoire impressionnante.

Comment by T Ibara Photo — December 18, 2018 @ 09:33 |
Hello Takami.
Thank You. Wait, when You see also my photos from Vesuvius and Pompeii. Of course, Capri is beautiful, but these two places win (my opinion). Welcome to Europe and to Finland!
Have a wonderful day!

Such great memories this post has brought back to me. We visited nearly 20 years ago now, and loved this special region of Italy. Capri and the Blue Grotto is a place I will never forget. Thanks Matti for sharing these lovely photos. 🙂

Excellent overview of photos! Certainly makes me want to visit. –Curt
Comment by Curt Mekemson — December 18, 2018 @ 18:45 |
Hello Curt.
This part of Italy is beautiful. My highlights on this trip were Vesuvius and Pompeii. Capri is beautiful, but expensive. It was in Capri and in Liechtenstein, where we have enjoyed our most expensive coffees! Thank You leaving Your kind comment.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — December 19, 2018 @ 08:13 |
Peggy and I have been to Pompeii, and were fascinated by the city with its volcano still looming. We din’t make it to Capri. As for coffee, I remember going to Europe many years ago and being shocked to pay a dollar a cup when I was paying $.25 at home. 🙂 Prices have done nothing but skyrocket here and in Europe since! –Curt
Comment by Curt Mekemson — December 21, 2018 @ 16:10 |
Hello Curt.
Pompeii was awesome and Vesuvius to us. It was in October, 2007 when we visited Liechtenstein. One cup of coffee was 5 Euros. Using todays Exchange course, it makes 5.68 USD. At those days it was higher in Dollars. Thank You leaving Your kind comment again.
Happy holidays!
Comment by Sartenada — December 22, 2018 @ 10:46 |
And Happy New Year to you!

Beautiful Sorrento! I loved all of Italy when I lived there (1970-1975) in Milano & Lago di Como. 🎶📚Christine
Comment by C.E.Robinson — December 18, 2018 @ 18:51 |
Hello Christine.
Oh, You have lived in Italy so many years. Then You must speak Italian. I Worked in Spain in 1969 four and half months and it was there where I learnt Spanish. We have visited Milano and I have seen landscapes of Lago di Come – beautiful. Thank You for Your kind comment.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to You and Yours.
Comment by Sartenada — December 19, 2018 @ 08:28 |
Yes, I speak Italian. Agree, it was a beautiful country, especially the northern part. Spain was a gorgeous country to visit. Thank you for the holiday & Christmas wishes. The same again to you & your family. 🎄 Christine

Felices Fiestas !!!

Hola Louisa.
No olvidar la música de tu país. Cuando trabajé en Las Palmas en 1969, compré unos 200 discos de música. Esta música me ayudó a mantener mis habilidades en español. ¿Escuchaste la música de Robertino del video? Sugiero, aunque sea en italiano! Me encanta la canción de Robertino. Era el mismo tipo de cantante que Joselito en México.
Abrazos y Felices Fiestas!
Comment by Sartenada — December 19, 2018 @ 11:24 |
Si, la escuché. Los italianos tienen mucho arte.
Madre mía!!! Doscientos discos en español, más que algunas tiendas. 🤣🤣
Muy Felices Fiestas. 🎄
Comment by Si, Soy Gallega — December 19, 2018 @ 11:59 |
Bueno, Sí, y mucho más de Chile, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela y Guatemala. A pesar de ser finlandés, sé algo de música de España y América del Sur y Central. Mi musica favorita es todavia hoy la cumbia.Si no conoces Cumbia, aquí está uno de mis favoritos: “El Diario De Un Borracho” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff1WpYogF70
Pues, yo no soy borracho.
Comment by Sartenada — December 19, 2018 @ 12:07 |
La cumbia tiene mucha marcha, ideal para bailar.
Esa canción no la conocía.
Imagino que no eres borracho. Seguro que si lo fueses no te gustaría esa canción . 🤣🤣

Oh, it does look so beautiful. Good to know Sorrento is a great place to stay at for visiting Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. I hope we get to visit there one day.

Comment by Zambian Lady — December 21, 2018 @ 17:34 |
Hello Zambian Lady.
Thank You. Italy is nice start point to visit Europe. Of course, there are many places, but finally everything depends on everybody’s own desires. My favorite places are Azores and Madeira. Both are islands. I have to say that if You want to experience something new, then Visit the northern parts of Finland. Why? Simple reason is to experience “white nights”. Can You imagine that there in mid-summer sun never sets? It is awesome experience, believe me
Here is the southernmost place to experience it:
Aavasaksa hill
Happy holidays!

I regrettably missed this post when it was published but fortunately I discovered it now. The landscape is beautiful, rather scenic. I love the view! A town that is overllooking the bay, buidings that seem to have clambered up the hill, cliffs and caves among the rocks … stunning.
Also the small streets,the different small shops etc.
It was rather enjoying and interesting to get an impression of this Italian town in the South!
Matti, I hope you and Anja spent a wonderful Christmas time. Have some relaxing days now! I’m sending warm regards and my very best wishes for a gorgeous, peaceful and healty New Year.

Hello Michèle.
Oh, thank You leaving Your kind comment. You are not late with Your comment. Sorrento is beautiful and it offers a good springboard to explore the surrounding area. Our Christmas went well. My daughter and granddaughter visited us. Both of them are still studying and although my daughter is working, she studies to get a better life. Thank You saying healthy New Year, because we all need it. I have had problems, but now everything seems to be okay.
My wife and I wish You also a gorgeous, peaceful and healthy New Year.

Hello Emily.
I hope that You have had a wonderful Christmas. Sorrento is beautiful, but it offers no beaches. To explore surroundings, it offers the best possibilities. Capri is awesome beautiful, Vesuvius incredible experience and Pompeii, which makes man silent. I wish all the best for New Year.
Matti
Comment by Sartenada — December 29, 2018 @ 11:25 |
Oh Italy is such a gem. You have captured so many gorgeous photos. We visited the area and stayed in Positano and explored more of the Amalfi Coast and the non to Pompeii.
