The port of Sorrento is one of Campania's most important seaports in particular for its role in passenger traffic. The port is located in a small inlet of the Sorrento peninsula, below the ridge on which stands the city of Sorrento. The area where now stands is called Marina Piccola and is connected to the city by a bus service. The port of Sorrento has a platform that includes a small dock where inside there are small boats for fishing and for tourism. On this platform, both inside and outside, toward the open sea, arrives and departs many the hydrofoils that link the town to the islands of the Gulf of Naples. In fact, from the port of Sorrento leave the largest number of hydrofoils and ferries to the island of Capri, in addition to a number of connections to Ischia, Positano and Amalfi. In Sorrento also stop many cruise ships: they usually dock outside the port and through a service of boats the tourists are transshipped to the mainland. As the port is small, is not made freight: the only trade is the supply products, especially food, for Capri. while the port of Sorrento is named "Marina Piccola" (small marina), Marina Grande (the big marina) is the ancient district of fishermen with his own the beach. Marina Grande was one of the most beautiful and evocative spot of Sorrento. Currently it is still a great attraction of the town.
