Antico Bagno Conca delle Sirene — Attraction in Vico Equense

The owners have a gold mine here: in high season, you pay 45 euro for three beds and a parasol, although it is a really small beach. I have never paid so much in Italy for such an incredibly crammed place. They basically squish in every possible sunbed on the beach and the surrounding solariums to make as much money as possible. The first row is literally touching the water. This results in people sitting really tightly together, no possibility of moving the sunbed even 5 cm to adjust to the moving shade of the parasol (and that is why people pay for a parasol, to have a shade). People finish up arguing over missing space as soon as someone moves a sunbed. The food at the restaurant is good but portions are small comparing the prices.

Got the gnocchi (A, exactly what I wanted, cheesy, tomato saucy goodness), and fried calamari/squid (B+, lightly fried, no marinara sauce. My gf prefered this to the gnocchi. We actually switched plates). And two grande beers. 30 euro. Awesome views. We should have...
