Many are the events that characterize
Easter
in Sorrento. The Hooded-men Procession – traditional appointment
of the Holy week in the Sorrentine Peninsula, the cultural
activities, and the gastronomy gluttony complete the abundant
menu offers to visitors that choose to spend their vacations
during Easter here in Sorrento.
After a long quiet winter, Sorrento awakes and officially opens
the tourist season with Easter. The hotels re-open and the
businesses in general, after a long break, prepare themselves to
offer the best and especially due to Easter.
The typical little charming streets of
Sorrento, bring Spring Color and vivacity to the winter grey
atmosphere that certainly Easter rewards with.
Even the cultural and traditional events
re-propose an interesting calendar with a great variety of
activities.
Distinguished by importance and by the magical atmosphere that
they promote, the Hooded-men processions, that occur in a large
amount through out Sorrento and the
Peninsula. 16
Confraternities and 18 processions, in a representation of
intense mysticism and at a certain feeling of returning to the
past, are the some of the opportunities that the visitor can
admire during this period.
Easter Holidays in
Sorrento can disregard the
inciting gastronomic itinerary that the city and area gift to
those who visit; so many are the menus from all restaurants in
Sorrento where one can taste with delight: The Pastiera - the
typical Neapolitan dessert attached to the Syren Partenope
legend where the lemon taste is exalted here as being one of the
main typical products of the regions, and the Casatiello – an
Easter fluffy and aromatic sweet, less known as the Pastiera.
Joy for kids and the grown-ups, authentic from the Sorrentine
Coast. Also a savoury version, commonly called “nzogna e pepe”,
will be hard to resist from keeping the good figure, but
certainly not your good…mood!

Sorrento area is located on a platform of a volcanic stone, 50
meters above the sea-level and there aren’t many beaches. That

consider also that each week a street market is arranged.
