The Cilento shows the unknown side of Campania; pristine beaches, sheer rock cliffs puckered with caves, series of mountains cut by live water streams. The extraordinary beauty of this area has been preserved for centuries thanks to its isolation due in large part to the challenging terrain. The Cilento has a variety of landscapes to be enjoyed.

The coastline is typically Mediterranean in nature, with many inlets, sandy beaches, sheer cliffs and promontories complete with ancient look-out towers used in years past to warn the inhabitants of impending invasions of foreigners or pirates. This rock formation projected forward in the sea, extending from the fertile valley of Paestum to the enchanting gulf of Sapri brings forth rare natural treasures; vegetation, minerals, crystalline springs, and nearly extinct animals.

Tipycal dishes of Cilento's tradition, tasted for over 50 years by Prof. Ancel Keys the father of the "Mediterranean diet", have made the cuisine of these region famous around the world.
