Conca dei Marini

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

·

Still called the 'town of navigators', this Amalfi Coast village once sent out a fleet of 27 galleons and traded as far as Constantinople and Smyrna. Houses spill down a bowl-shaped slope to Marina di Conca, a small bay of white cottages where fishing boats still moor. Lemons and cherry tomatoes grow on the terraces, and a 16th-century watchtower guards the cape.
