We were done with our organized tour, and staying in another town a few kilometers east to "decompress."? We hired a taxi, and spent a few hours in Scopello, just wandering around. In the town itself, much of the activity centers around the town square. Here are a couple of drinking buddies at the local watering hole: <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445433/in/dateposted-public/> Within a couple of blocks, the views to the sea are spectacular: <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445203/in/dateposted-public/> And the views inland from the square aren't bad either: <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445273/in/dateposted-public/> Down at the sea is the "Tonnara," a cove housing a former tuna fishing port and cannery that's existed in some form since the 1300s.? It's now a private beach. Just off shore are a group of sea stacks. Old defensive towers loom above.? Some guidebooks say it is a beautiful as Capri.? I won't make comparisons, but we loved it there. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445563/in/dateposted-public/> <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445703/in/dateposted-public/> <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445803/in/dateposted-public/> <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40270445943/in/dateposted-public/> Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic 20/1.7 or 14/2.5 lenses (40 and 28mm equiv.)?
