Conca dei Marini.

What to do in Conca dei Marini Campania Italy

Conca dei Marini splits neatly between a steep fishing cove below and stepped agricultural hamlets stacked high above the coastal road. The day naturally follows the sun and your knees: morning descends to the pebble beach at Marina di Conca, afternoons drift through lemon terraces, and dinner is fresh squid at the water's edge. It suits travellers happy to trade resort shopping for quiet stone staircases.
