Even the Costa Verde has its own little fishing village — and it carries a name that smells of sea and history: Porto Palma, or, as the locals affectionately call it, Tunaria.
Founded in the 17th century by the skilled and hardworking hands of Genoese fishermen, this charming seaside hamlet still preserves an atmosphere steeped in charm, tranquility, and the scents of bygone times. It holds within it the authentic soul of the old tonnare — the traditional tuna fisheries — when the rhythm of each day was set by the wind and the breathing of the sea.
Tunaria exudes a sense of calm and well-being: the pale-colored houses, the small harbor that serves as a safe haven for fishing boats, and the crescent-shaped beach that has the lovely habit of warmly embracing its visitors. In the middle of the bay, the iconic Scoglio Bianco — the White Rock — rises from the water, giving this cove its distinctive and unmistakable profile.
If there is a place capable of transporting you to another dimension while still making you feel perfectly at home — a place that smells of both freedom and belonging — that place is, without a doubt, Tunaria, the hidden jewel of the Costa Verde.
