Art and tradition characterise the numerous towns,the most famous of which is Sorrento: perched on an imposing cliff over the sea, this charming town holds on to its medieval and classical memories, while also preserving Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

One of the most beautiful coasts of Italy, the Cilento Coast offers one hundred miles of beach, cliffs shaped by the sun and the wind, secret coves and mysterious grottoes.

The Cilento Park is also famous for its tasty traditional cuisine, there is such a variety of local dishes that it will be a pleasure to compare them from town to town in the many superlative seafood restaurants that the Italians have long kept to themselves.
