Isola di Santo Janni & Acquafredda coast, Maratea
Basilicata
Santo Janni is a bare rock a few hundred metres offshore, where divers have raised Roman anchors and the marble cargo of an ancient wreck. From the hamlet of Acquafredda a path threads the pines and prickly-pear along the cliff edge, with the islet, the deep-blue channel and the coves of Anginarra and Luppa below.
