Punta Licosa

Campania

Ancient legend held that this small, rocky promontory and its offshore islet were the resting place of the siren Leucosia, one of the mythical creatures from the Odyssey. The walk out from San Marco di Castellabate crosses olive groves and Mediterranean scrub to reach the tip, with clear water on both sides ideal for a swim.
