Detailed itinerary

We will leave from the port of Palinuro, a unique port of its kind as it is only partially closed; this allows you to have clear and crystalline waters.

The central beach of Capo Palinuro.
One of the most fascinating of the whole coast!

Beach that hosted the Club Med around the 80s.
It owes its name to the natural pools which in the past were used to obtain salt to bring to the entire population.

Thanks to the underwater tunnel inside the cave it will be possible to witness a unique play of colors in the world!

If we calculate the meters above sea level it is the tallest lighthouse in the world; positioned overhanging a breathtaking scenery.

In this stretch of coast we will find several watchtowers from the Bourbon era, the sulphurous cave and the architiello.
Called cala Fetente due to the strong presence of sulfur which determines a characteristic smell and multiple benefits for your skin.
Here we will stop for a swim.

In addition to the Blue Grotto, along our journey we will visit the Sulphurous Grotto, the Rondini Grotto, the Bone Grotto, the Rabbit stack and the Salvation stack.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Italy according to Legambiente and the Touring Club.
Stopping in this corner of paradise is a must.
Bring your mask and fins!

A natural oasis immersed in the Cilento flora.
One of the symbols of our coast!

This beach owes its name to the cliff that overlooks it.
Spot appreciated worldwide for climbing lovers.

Born thanks to the erosion of the wind and rain on the rock face.
This is the manifesto of the wonder that nature can offer us!
