Punta del Capo and Marina Grande

Domenica, a day of rest. Sorrento is festive today, all the children are in costumes and there are special children's events around town. We walked out to the point 3 km west of town to the site of the ruins of a 1st century roman noble Pollio Felice. Locals were fishing off the point and it was a lovely sunny day. It was interesting to see olive groves growing on a terrace supported by 16th century fortifications which are in turn built on 1st century Roman ruins.
On the way home we detoured into Marina Grande for a late afternoon snack of pizza and wine at quay side restaurant . We wound our way back to Casa Astarita via a winding alley.
Ciao!
