Porto Infreschi

According to a legend the name Camerota developed due to a sad dear history:

This legend says, that the helmsman of Enea, named Palinuro, fell in love with the beautiful girl Kamaraton. Unfortunately however this love was not answered by the girl Kamaraton. Palinuro pursued therefore her picture into the sea depth. The goddess Venus converted thereupon the girl into a rock, on this rock there stands today the place Camerota.
