Scopello



Famous for its sea boulders or faraglioni that rival those of Capri, Scopello also has it's own small hamlet that is, alas, awash with tourists. This has created the need to provide hotel accommodations of very poor architectural merit. Unusual for a country famous for it's architectural savvy. The problem here is the need to build fast and cheap. Needless to say, many such structures are eye sores. Nevertheless, the small hamlet still has it's charms.
