Marina Grande

Sorrento's old fishing village atmosphere lives on in this quaint section of town. Walk down to the water's edge where sherbert-colored buildings line up along the shore, fishing boats bob in the water, and stone cliffs rise behind. Mt. Vesuvius looms in the background. It's a charming area, with plenty of seafood restaurants and cafes to enjoy. Watch fishermen mend their nets, enjoy the lull of the waves lapping the shore, and be transported back to the old trades that are still active, remembering that Sorrento isn't all glitz, it's also a working town. Taste the area's delicacies, with fish just unloaded from the boats!
