We really liked Palinuro. We had pristine water for swimming, breeze at night for comfortable sleep, and shops nearby. A little bit of paradise… Since there were no winds predicted we decided to hang out there, initially for 5 days, but then we extended it… John set up all the water toys, so we swam, …
Before leaving Agropoli we had a wonderful dinner with our friends Liz and Peter at La Ruota in Perdifumo. Excellent company and meal. There isn’t a picture of my face when I had the first bite of steak, but everyone commented on it (pure bliss!!). Good beef is not an easy find in Italy. Appropriately …

The pluses: pristine waters, caves, the town …
