Staying on the Capo di Sorrento headland
Here, the final stretch between the main road and your accommodation deserves attention. A short distance on the map can involve a narrow lane, a slope or a path without easy vehicle access. Ask for arrival instructions that name the entrance. For outings to the water, take footwear suitable for stone paths and uneven ground.

Staying on the Capo di Sorrento headland
Is the path to Bagni della Regina Giovanna suitable for cases?
It is a walking route with uneven ground and a descent toward the water. Ask your accommodation for a separate luggage arrival route.
Should I bring beach shoes?
Footwear with grip helps on the approach and around the rocky shore. Check the water and sea conditions before entering, especially when waves reach the rocks.
Can I rely on walking into Sorrento every evening?
Check the exact route from your property first. Distance, slopes and stretches beside traffic can make a bus or taxi more practical after dark.
