Vico Equense :
THE AREA AND ITS HISTORY

This ancient area is renowned for its pleasant climate and conveniently central position in relation to Campania's most important venues of tourism and culture. It offers a range of apartments, thermal waters and seabathing facilities. It also has an abundance of historic and artistic assets dating from the 7th century B.C. to the present day and extending from sea level right up to the 1400 meters of Monte Faito. Underlining the area's traditional calling for tourism, we find a wide range of hotels and apartments equipped with all the latest comforts and with verandahs overlooking the splendid panorama of the Gulf of Naples. There are even more places for wining and dining. Some are more intimate and reserved in atmosphere, while others are larger and more modern. But they all offer fine, delicate cuisine based mainly on seafood, together with a variety of local dairy products and fine wines, which already had a fine reputation even in the ancient world. The coast of Vico Equense, spanning from Punta Orlando to Punta Scutolo, is a succession of beaches enhanced by a transparent sea, all of which provide modern bathing facilities. For visitors coming from the direction of Castellammare, the beaches continue right up to Scrajo, a place famous for its healing sulphur springs and popular beaches. These beaches are followed by enchanting stretches of free coastline, leading towards Marina di Vico, which are harder to reach. After a stretch of open sea beneath the projecting Gothic Cathedral, we find Marina di Aequa, with its tourist and bathing facilities, which ends at the natural boundary of the so-called "Calcare" beach.
