Marine of Vico
For centuries the Marina of Vico has been the city’s safe harbor since the pre-Roman era. In the Augustan age the Sorrento coast saw the flourishing of numerous leisure villas. Ruins of a villa and water pipes are evident in the nearby plain of Aequa while, halfway up the coast, on the marina of Vico, there are few remains of a maritime construction. The road, very scenic with views of the “Angioino” castle and Vesuvius, leads directly to the small village square where the church dedicated to the Holy Trinity is located. In the seventeenth century fishermen, sailors and boat owners set up a mutual aid company to help those who needed it in difficult times. It was the fishermen who, on May 5, 1686, welcomed the boat from Naples who carried the relics of Saints Cyrus and John, patrons of the city, a gift from the Jesuit fathers. Even today, fishermen carry the two saints in procession on the occasion of the celebrations in their honor. The marina of Vico is easily accessible in a few minutes from the city center. During summer, EAV bus are more frequent and guaranteed (bus timetables). The beach is sandy and features water springs. Many are the restaurants and beach clubs from which you will be able to gaze at the “scoglio della Tartaruga” and “scoglio della Margherita”
