A town itself is larger and is located directly at the sea. In its older part you can find a coastal promenade street with shops and supermarkets. Here you may feel that you suddenly have much more time than you used to have anywhere else, which is, of course, typical for majority of southern Italian towns (if not for all). A local marketplace is open here every evening and the town also boasts a rich nightlife.
