Travel Guide Parc National Du Cilento

Ideal if you want a moment of relaxation and nature away from the city and the seaside resorts. The Parco del Cilento e Vallo di Diano located at the southern tip of Campania has been declared a biosphere reserve by Unesco. There are rare and protected fauna and flora. It is the second largest park in Italy, with 181,048 hectares. Geographically isolated, it was already isolated during the Roman Empire. It was during the Middle Ages, under the Lombards and then the Normans, that the villages were organized around the castles. But throughout history, the park of Cilento will be put aside, which makes that even today it is very little known and little visited by the tourists. This is a pity, because it offers sublime landscapes and breathtaking views of the coast, as well as authentic villages and impressive monuments such as the Carthusian monastery of San Lorenzo or the village Roschigno Vecchio. So let yourself be lulled by the mix of these dazzling landscapes and nature. The best way to discover the park is to stay in an agriturismo.Formore information, visit www.cilentoediano.it.
