The Cilento National Park represents one of the most picturesque protected areas in Italy. An area that combines in a few dozen kilometres sea and mountain, flora and fauna like gems in a box. The different species reflect the origins of this area and are integral part and symbol of the local tradition.
Cilento even means land of myth and ancient civilizations. Through the centuries, since the colonies of Magna Graecia and the beginnings of history, different cultures followed one another determining the unique but multi-faceted local identity.
Don't think about twice! The Cilento is Italy's most appreciated sea. Annually it is rewarded by the FEE, international organisation promoting sustainable development, and by Legambiente. 2007 eight resorts have been rewarded with the Blue Flag, almost all located in the Campania region. Pioppi and Acciarioli are leading locations in promoting eco-sustainable tourism and in preserving and protecting marine nature from pollution.
