The elegant white Greek-style colonnades where initially built as an entrance to the beach. The initial concept came from Ivane Mchedlidze, a local doctor, who fell in love with Sorrento’s classical colonnades while on a trip to Italy in the early 1930s. Over the last 80 years, the sea retreated considerably and the water’s edge is now far from this historical monument. Similar colonnades were also built as the entrance to 6th May Park.
