Marina di Camerota

Marina di Camerota is a small hamlet, part of the legendary Camerota.
It seems that its name derives from that of Kamaraton, the most beautiful girl who was traveling on the ship of Aeneas after his escape from Troy.

Palinuro fell in love with her but the love was not returned for this reason goddess Venus, moved by the suffering of the young man turned Kamaraton into the rock on which now stands the village of Camerota.

According to most accepted etymology, however, the name derives from the greek Kamaraton, which means building a vaulted arch, and denotes the main feature of the town Camerota, perched on a hill. Marina di Camerota is a fishing village surrounded by beautiful coast and beaches of fine sand.

The town overlooks a beautiful waterfront and is characterized by a series of alleyways that hide small shops. The most beautiful part of the coast is the "Bay Infreschi" whis is a Marine Park since 2010.
