Marina Grande Sorrento\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0(Antico Borgo Marinaro)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marina Grande Sorrento\u00a0is the ancient fishing village part of modern Sorrento,\u00a0tucked under the cliffs at the western end of the town.\u00a0It is located below the city center ( Piazza Tasso).\u00a0There is a bus service that will take you there. However if you can walk, do so, and enjoy the narrow streets and old buildings on the way down. Just be aware, it’s a long, steep walk down (ten minute). It’s a lot harder going back up,\u00a0but is well worth the effort. It\u00a0might be a problem for people with mobility issue.<\/p>\n

Marina Grande Sorrento<\/strong> is quaint and historic, with its pastel colored houses overlooking the beach.\u00a0With the locals hanging out their clothes from windows on the steep hillside.\u00a0And in the middle of it all, there is little a yellow church (St Anne)\u00a0that is a must visit.<\/p>\n

It is a lovely place to take a stroll. Also find a seat\u00a0at a waterside table, sip some wine and watch the world go by.\u00a0You can find the fishermen bring in their daily catch, or watch them passing the time of day by mending to their fishing nets.\u00a0There are a few souvenir shops, bars and and lots of seafood restaurants. The popular choice is\u00a0Ristorante Bagni Delfino Sorrento, where the\u00a0food is excellent and fresh.\u00a0If you wish, you can also eat on a large covered boat that is stationed in the water.<\/p>\n

There is also the opportunity to swim from a very small public beach. They cordoned off an area for swimming, so is safe to use.\u00a0You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas if you wish.<\/p>\n

There are boat rentals and ferries that will take you to other destinations along the Amalfi Coast (including Amalfi, Capri and Positano).\u00a0Tickets are sold directly at marina level.<\/p>\n

It is a beautiful area and just a great place to take some breathtaking pictures.\u00a0If you want to experience and watch a little of the Sorrento way of life, then this is truly it.\u00a0Well worth a walk to if you are visiting Sorrento.\u00a0The only drawback is the steep climb back into the town afterwards.[\/tab]<\/p>\n
