Small, scenic, seriously serene
Perched between Amalfi and Praiano, Conca dei Marini is the Amalfi Coast’s low-key beauty: whitewashed houses tumbling toward a jade-green cove, lemon terraces perfuming the air, and sunsets that stop conversations – mamma mia! Wander down to Marina di Conca for swims off the pebbly beach and long seafood lunches with toes practically in the water. Hop on a boat to the Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) for glittering, otherworldly hues, or climb to the medieval Torre del Capo di Conca for wide-angle coastal views.
Food (as you’d expect) is big here: try the legendary sfogliatella Santa Rosa – born in the local monastery – then follow it with spaghetti alle vongole and a glass of crisp Falanghina. Hikers can link to the Path of the Gods from nearby Agerola, while cruisers can zip along the coast by boat to Amalfi, Positano, or hidden coves. Evenings are soft and simple: golden light, clinking glasses, and the hush of waves below. Conca keeps things charming, authentic, and blissfully unhurried – the Amalfi dream, minus the bustle.
