Highlights
- Conca Dei Marini: Once an important trading centre, is nowadays a fishing village hemmed in by a marine loop that offers a stunning slice of panorama. The two extremes of this marvelous bay are Capo di Conca, dominated by the Torre di Conca (erected in the 1500’s) testimony to the terrifying incursions of pirates, and the Emerald Grotto. The boat ride to a non-touristy restaurant on the beach gives you the opportunity to have a traditional and delicious lunch and also to admire the beauty of Amalfi Coast from the sea.
- The Emerald Grotto: The waters breaking into the grotto take on an intense green hue, caused by light filtration. This grotto is full of stalactites and stalagmites, often fused together to form limestone columns of up to 10 meters.
- Villa Cimbrone was, originally, a simple hut. It was bought in 1904 by Ernest William Beckett, who transformed into an exceptionally fascinating Villa. It has hosted many celebrated personalities, from Winston Churchill to Greta Garbo. There is a very special feeling in the cloister of the villa, still showing elements of the ancientarab-sicilian style it was built in. The belvedere is a terrace that gives on to infinity,and has no equal in the world.
