Tour "Masseta" by scooter from Marina di Camerota

Departure from the meeting point at the scheduled time.

Visit to the Museum of Frescoes to discover the flora and fauna of the Marine Protected Area 'Costa degli Infreschi e della Masseta'. A surprising journey awaits you to discover the maritime traditions that revolve around the Infreschi Bay and its Tonnara, the prehistoric history of the Serratura cave passing through the most characteristic species such as the Posidonia, the Pinna Nobilis, the Caretta Caretta Turtle and many others.

The Cave of Cala is the first cave to open a few meters from the sea. Composed of a cave ante and a cave back, connected by a bottleneck. The shape of this cave resembles an hourglass. Pebbles and bone weapons testify to the presence of our Neanderthal ancestors who inhabited the cave in the Middle Paleolithic. Later bequeathed to Homo Sapiens, the cave experienced a more systematic use. Hunting was a living at that time; for this reason various stone tools have been found, such as scratches and spine tips, faunal remains, marine shells used as ornaments, bone artifacts and hearths. Traces found on the site allow us to mentally reconstruct lifestyles, far from us 20,000 and 40,000 years ago.

The historic center of Lentiscosa is a hidden jewel in the heart of Cilento, where history and faith intertwine in an enchanting balance. Here, the colorful dome of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is one of the most recognizable symbols of the village, thanks to its coating of two-tone majolica that create a unique geometric decoration.
But Lentiscosa is much more than just a postcard: among the streets of the old town, you will find hidden treasures and places of great charm. The chapel of Santa Maria ad Martyres, for example, is a small treasure chest of art and spirituality worth visiting. Its rare beauty makes it one of the ten must-see places in Cilento.
In addition, walking through the alleys of Lentiscosa, you can also admire the imposing walls of noble palaces, which testify to the history and tradition of this ancient village. Here, every corner is a discovery, every alley a surprise.

Tasting of typical Cilento and especially lentiscosani products at the Locanda del Curato, an ancient residence restored keeping alive the Classic charm. Lentiscosa offers different culinary opportunities for visitors. The stuffed eggplant alla Cilento, also called "mulignane 'mbuttunat", is a typical dish of Cilento cuisine, characterized by authentic and genuine flavors. But the typical product of Lentiscosa is maracuoccio, a rare legume, ancient and different from the others, since 2016 also Slow Food Presidium. Marracucciata is one of the most representative dishes of Cilento cuisine, an ancient dish that has been able to withstand time. It is prepared with maracuoccio flour, a rare and ancient legume that is grown only in a restricted area around Lentiscosa. The flour is mixed with wheat flour, and then cooked in salt water. Once cooked, the flour is served with golden bread croutons in a pan with oil, onion, garlic and chilli.

Stop and visit the Spodicella terrace, a small terrace where there is a Madonna built by the inhabitants about 25/30 years ago. This Madonna, as it is positioned, tends almost to protect the 4 hamlets of the municipality, namely Camerota, Licusati, Lentiscosa and Marina di Camerota.

The Pianoro di Ciolandrea is a beautiful terrace located in San Giovanni a Piro. Known as “La terrazzo del Cilento”, or “Belvedere of the four regions”, it offers a wonderful panorama of the Gulf of Policastro and the entire coast of the Marine Park Costa degli Infreschi and Masseta, the Lucanian coast, where the Christ of Maratea is clearly visible, the Calabrian coast and, on clear days, the Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands.

Walk along the seafront of the port of Scario, tourist landing place located along the Gulf of Policastro, in the homonymous hamlet of the municipality of San Giovanni a Piro.

Aperitif at the end of the fantastic tour "Masseta", directly in the Cilento sea, at the bar Vini..le in Scario, a platform on the water and the sound of the sea as background.
