Sorrento - Colli di Fontanelle, Sorrento - Sant Agata

[poppiesrara]

Two little walks up the steep-sided hills over Sorrento, on a break too short to explore the Monti Lattari that looked so enticing just inland.

First up to the south-east to the Colli di Fontanelle and a view of the south of the peninsula. Most of this on impossibly narrow steep lanes through the woods that looked beyond most cars.

East from the town to P. di Sorrento

Climbing to Colli di Fontanelle

Monti Trattari

M. Vesuvius over the Bay of Naples

Glimpse of the Amalfi Coast to the south

Lemon trees everywhere...

And then straight south up the lovely winding Via Cruci path, a memorial on every corner, and then contouring the hillside to the little town of Sant Agata.

Alleyway out of Sorrento
