The bad news is that he is also the official Sorrento left luggage office. The "office" is the floor of his bar!! - and it's damned expensive.
The good news is that you don't have to buy the bus tickets from him. You can get them from most tobacco shops and, I think, from the train ticket office also.
Avoid the station buffet like the plague. Leave a Comment

 Street down to the Marina
Grande, Sorrento by toonsarah

If you go on a trip to Naples beware of pick pockets. It's best to split your money up and always be aware. Care should be taken if you go through the old spanish quarter, we were warned by an Italian tour guide not to go there alone and not to venture into the shops there.
stay away from crowds and keep hold of your bags. We had no problems but you must be aware that it is a real danger

 Italian Motorini by HORSCHECK
So when in Italy always beware of the motorini drivers! Leave a Comment

Pick pocketing is rife all along the Sorentine peninsula. On quite a few occasions, we turned around and found (usually) men stood far too close for comfort and looking rather shady! Take out only what you need and make sure it is someone safe away from wandering hands. Leave a Comment

 Clothes hung out to dry along
the street by Krystynn
The Sorrento drivers also seem to have this marvelous ability to turn a 3-lane road into one with 5 lanes! I'm serious. Don't ask me how they do it - without being fined or penalized by the traffic police. Come to think about it, I haven't had the opportunity to bump into any traffic police in this city. I wonder where they have all gone?
As for the traffic lights, I realized that they are basically put there as decorative ornaments i.e. I don't remember seeing anybody (as far as I noticed) abiding graciously to the traffic rules here. Yeah, I was almost run over by an errant driver. :-(
So do be careful when you're out walking along the streets of Sorrento. Watch out not only for their DEADLY TRAFFIC but also of FLYING LITTER! Some of the residents here (and I saw it with my own eyes!) can throw litter out of their apartment window in broad daylight like they were frisbees.
And some folks here treat the streets like a dumping ground too.
I'm really not joking when I say that I saw a Coke can flew out of a high-rise apartment building window.... and new laundry being blown away from another apartment (window) right onto the street.... and saw a group of women screaming/quarrelling across from one apartment to the other....
plus the (impatient) Sorrento drivers forever honking their car horns...
I had to swallow an aspirin after encountering all of the above.

As a solo female traveler, I was physically violated (kisses on arms, face) by more than one man in Sorrento. I didn't let it ruin my time, but girls be careful! Assume that any man (young or old) will start touching you without any flirtation on your part whatsoever...
