The mystery of the coast of Salerno
It is not known for certain when exactly the first houses appeared on the coast of Salerno. However, even today it is obvious that the coast was chosen by Italian fishermen who found it convenient to hide their boats in a secluded bay. The quiet harbor made it possible to go out into the open sea without colliding with the sea waves rolling onto the shore. According to the locals, the sea has always been supportive of the fishermen from this village, and generously filled the fishing nets with their catch.
More and more houses were built in a secluded place. The result was a small village cut off from the rest of the world. It could only be reached by one road or across the sea. But very few knew this way. The uniqueness of the coastal settlement lies in the fact that it is impossible to see the village from the sea side. But the inhabitants of the houses located on the mountain ledges could easily observe the sea horizon and everything that is happening around. This is a real paradise for those who are tired of city life and crowded sea beaches.
