This is the Untold Italy travel podcast and you are listening to episode number 204.

Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns

and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia.

Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta.

If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there,

you've come to the right place.

Bonjourno, everyone. I hope you're all getting excited about Christmas if you celebrate that festival.

I know I am, not that I need an excuse to pull out the Panetone and Prosecco, but you know,

it's a tradition at this time of year and so delicious. So the more, the merrier, I say.

Italians really know how to celebrate at this time of year,

and Sorrento, close to Naples, is a place that parties throughout the month of December.

So I asked local resident Lee from the Gourmet Girls' food tours in Sorrento

to fill us all in on the excitement of Christmas, festivities,

food and fabulousness of this southern Italian city,

best known for its summer vibes. We last heard from Lee a couple of years ago, so I can't wait to hear

what she has to say about the goings-on in Sorrento by the sea.

Ben Tonata Lee, welcome back to the Unto Alto Lee podcast.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having us back.

It blew my mind the last time when people from all over the planet were like, oh, we heard

your podcast and that really.

I was like, oh, wow, it's amazing.
