The various hill country and mountainous region of the Cilento National Park is limited by hundred kilometer-long and beautiful coast. In the country-inside you find a whole region to olive slopes and chestnut forests. On the coast alternate beautiful sandy beaches and impressive cliff accidents, with a multiplicity of grottos and ravines which are to be reached partly only by boat.

The national park del "Cilento e Vallo di Diano" applies about more than 200.000 ha of country surface. The therefore protected nature allows only a subtle tourism in this area and gets therefore the good water quality, the big and intact vegetation and animal kingdom and also the villages. The national park belongs to the biosphere reserve of the UNESCO.

Abroad the Cilento is still unknown and you find here in the low season hardly tourism, because the Italian guests spend the vacation almost in July and August. In the winter months one has even the feeling that the places go in a hibernation.

The Cilentaner love to celebrate and so it is not amazing that each saint has his own religious celebration, with big firework.
