Palinuro Marina
Tucked into the rugged coastline of Cilento, Palinuro Marina sits right at the base of the dramatic Cape Palinuro, named after Aeneas's legendary helmsman and riddled with sea caves and grottos you can explore by water. The marina is run as a cooperative and handles vessels with a modest draft, making it a solid base for cruising this wild stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast. From here you're well-placed to reach the Grotta Azzurra and the sea arches that make this cape one of the most striking on Italy's southern shoreline.
