According to Greek myth, Amaltheia was a nymph who raised the god Zeus with goat's milk. Her horn is considered a symbol of abundance, also known as the cornucopia.

An approximately 8-meter-high sculpture of this cornucopia can be found here at a small rest area on the promenade. It creates a beautiful effect against the backdrop of the sea and the bay.
