Sorrento - Marina Grande and Marina Piccolo

The two harbors, Marina Grande and Marina Piccolo, extend along the steep coast. From the Villa Comunale, a terrace above the Marina Grande, there are far-ranging views of the Gulf of Naples. Sorrento's main street is the Corso Italia. In Piazza Tasso, near the town's center, stands a marble statue of the poet Torquato Tasso (1544-95), who was born in Sorrento. From here a road runs down to Marina Piccolo, where the boats come in.
