Conca dei Marini lies between Capo di Conca and Grotta dello Smeraldo. The houses, in typical Mediterranean style, with domes and walls made from thick white limestone are immersed in the lemon gardens and olive groves which are characteristic of the hills of St Pancrazio and St Antonio. Its beauty has enchanted many an illustrious visitor including Princess Margaret of Great Britain who visited frequently.
Conca dei Marini is linked to an age old maritime tradition, a fishing village where the tales and legends of the past are still passed down through the generations. Famous for its Tonnara, a system used to catch the migrating tuna, the economy of Conca dei Marini relies almost exclusively on the sea.
To visit: Grotta dello Smeraldo, a fabulous cave full of stalactites and wonderful green light, the Church of St Pancrazio, the Convent of St Rosa and the Conca Tower. The Festa di St Rosa is an ancient tradition in which the nuns of the Convent distribute to the inhabitants of the town the famous Sfogliatella Santa Rosa cake, first made in the 1700s.
