People who come in Sorrento cannot absolutely miss a visit in the seaside village of Marina Grande, a picturesque corner, unharmed by the slow passage of time and by mass tourism.
The village of Marina Grande is a world apart, totally disconnected from Sorrento, and separated from the city by a small promontory on which, in ancient times, stood the imposing villa of the Emperor Augustus grandson, whose ruins have now incorporated in the Hotel Bellevue Syrene.
In past time the only access to the city was by an ancient gate. At this gate is linked a legend: it is said that the Saracens, fearsome pirates, had sacked the city through this gate, with the complicity of an unfaithful slave.
Even today the inhabitants of the village remained very faithful to their customs and traditions and the community is very united and compact. Most of them are fishermen and it is not uncommon to find fish nets and equipment for boats along the pier and beaches.
In any case Marina Grande is one of the most beautiful places of the Amalfi Coast. To visit the Amalfi coast and the sorrentine peninsula  with a guided tour or with a driver in just one day is not sufficient. The best solution is to hire car Amalfi Coast.
