'My thoughts, said the man on the way to his shadow, have to make me understand where I am, but not reveal me wher I’m going. I love the uncertainty about my future and I don’t want to die being impatient and tasting in advance things promised' . (Nietzsche)

A perfect marriage between sea and mountains, rich in coves and bays, often reachable only by sea such as the beautiful Grotto dello Smeraldo at Conca dei Marini and the Fiordo di Furore.
