Sorrento:
has always been one of the
greateast attractions in Southern Italy. The
structure of the old centre of Sorrento and some
archaeological remains make us think it was a
Greek city or at least it was heavily influenced
by the Greeks.
Marina Piccola that is an important shunting
station: more than the third part of all
international tourists travelling in the Gulf of
Naples pass on this harbour. Sorrento has been
able to propose itself as the center of a larger
touristic area, giving hospitality also to those
want to visit the near localities of Capri,
Pompeii, Herculaeum, Positano and Amalfi Coast
with daily excursions or by hydrofoil, bus or
train. Near the harbour of Marina Piccola there
are the bathing establishments of Sorrento;
Piazza Tasso (Main Square) with famous
Restaurants, Bar, Pub, Shops, is the unavoidable
crossroads to reach every place in Sorrento and
the characteristic sorrentine little lanes,
which represent the heart of the shopping center
and of the old town; Marina Grande (Large
Marina), which was the only seafaring village in
Sorrento until the 15th century; The Cloister of
San Francesco next to the pubblic garden and the
Correale Museum.
