Cilento National Park
Would you believe that just a few miles off the usual tourists' routes lies an enchanting mix of culture, art, nature and folklore?
The Cilento National Park is in the southern part of the bay of Salerno, just south of the Amalfi Coast.
In Cilento unaffected landscapes are populated by the genuine hospitality of the inhabitants.
The eye is captured by beautiful nuances of green and blue, which mix where the rocky coasts dive into the sea. Sandy beaches await those who wish to swim in the warm Mediterranean Sea.
Tiny seaports, gorgeous bays and white, pink and yellow little houses complete the unique scenarios that can't be found anywhere else.
History was so fascinated by this land that it simply could not leave. The ancient Greek temples of Paestum and the excavations of Velia still stand where the ancestors of mankind built them in 500 B.C. For its exceptional historical significance, in 1998 the Cilento area has been inscribed on the World Heritage List by Unesco.
It also seems that Cilento has been able to make a deal with the weather: summer, with its shining sun, lasts from the end of April to the beginning of October.
So, if you think that your Italian vacation should be off the beaten path, yet close enough for day trips to some of the "usual suspects" (Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento, Capri, Positano and the Amalfi Coast -- even Rome), with a strong taste of authentic Italy and Mediterranean beaches, yes, Cilento is the place for you. And at night you'll get the chance to relax in this magic place where time has stopped and stress and chaos are unheard of.
