Benvenuti a Sorrento!

A peninsula nestled a mere two-hour Circumvesuviana train ride from Naples is Sorrento, a beautiful coastal town in Southern Italy! The town is small but makes up for it in the breadth of sights and experiences it has to offer prospective study abroad students. From the lemon and orange trees that line up the cobblestone streets to the turquoise seas of Marina Grande you can overlook from Sant'Anna Institute’s terrace, Sorrento is incredibly picturesque. By choosing to live in Sorrento, you get the best of both worlds! Through your daily classes and/or gelateria trips, establishing a daily routine will help you to immerse yourself with the town, the language, and the locals! While there are certainly activities you can do by yourself or with your friends, CIS Abroad offers a vast array of them, some of which include visits to a local winery to a ferry trip around the Amalfi Coast! Sant’Anna Institute, the university partnered with CIS Abroad, also offers various activities for students throughout their time here. 

While there’s more than enough to do in Sorrento, its location grants you the opportunity to explore other sites whether that’s in the Campania area or in Italy! The archaeological ruins of Pompeii is a mere train ride away and a couple stops away from Naples, a city for the adventurers who might be craving the hustle and bustle of city life! From Naples, the possibilities are endless! Want to travel even further? Consider, say, taking a weekend excursion to Rome which – while different in dialect and type of pizza, has just as much to offer!
