Sorrento to Bari coach

Sorrento is a small city overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. Sorrento has earned a variety of monikers, including Land of Mermaids, Land of Colours, and Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. If those aren't enough to entice you, then perhaps the promise of history and elegant Greek, Roman, and medieval architecture will convince you to make a stop.

With the romantic appeal of the Piazza Tasso and its multitude of restaurants and bars, as well as the whimsical Church of San Francesco, Sorrento is the perfect place for a couples' getaway.

Explore the Museo Correale, originally the private residence of the aristocratic Correale family, and experience the height of decadence in the 24 rooms on show. If you'd like to splurge on some decadence yourself, Corso Italia and Via San Cesareo are Sorrento's main shopping streets. You'll find many local shops offering made-to-measure items, as well as hand-painted ceramics and every product imaginable made from the region's famous lemons. Hello, limoncello.

As a popular tourist destination, Sorrento has plenty of options for travel to the city. Naples Airport is close by and served by many major airlines, and frequent coach services run between Naples and Sorrento. FlixBus also allows access to the city from places like Florence and Siena.

Located in the Italian region of Puglia, Bari is a large port city on the Adriatic coast. Although often overlooked in favour of the more popular Lecce, Bari has much to offer visitors. Bari is home to a large university, meaning its student population injects youthfulness into the city to contrast with its historical appeal.

To explore the city's extensive history, visit the Basilica di San Nicola. This Norman church was one of the first of its kind to be built in southern Italy, and it takes its name from St Nicholas, better known as Father Christmas, whose remains are buried there. Next, take a walk through Bari Vecchia to experience the old town, situated on the peninsula above the old harbour. The charming cobbled streets and twisting alleys offer a relaxing place to meander through historic buildings and meet some of Bari's friendly locals.

The region is also famous for its Cucina Povera, or "food of the poor," a local cuisine that emphasizes delicious but straightforward foods using only local and seasonal ingredients. You can sample these traditional foods in the city's many restaurants and street food vendors.

Bari has its own airport, and metro services connect the airport to the central train station. In addition, numerous coach companies run services to Bari, and frequent trains connect the town to other Italian destinations.
