Magico Cilento: five stops off the beaten track

There is a Cilento far from the best-known beaches (including those of Marina di Camerota and the Costa degli Infreschi) and the most beaten tourist routes, made up of cultivated hills, chestnut woods and small villages where time still gives the feeling of following the rhythm of the seasons. In the hinterland of the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni, between the Calore valley and the hills overlooking Paestum, there is a succession of small towns rich in history, agricultural traditions and distinctive cuisine. Here, the journey becomes an experience, and there are local tourism promotion realities (such as the benefit company My Fair) that organise tours to enhance an area where you can walk among gorges and paths, taste wines and local products and participate in festivals and community celebrations. Here is an itinerary to discover the authentic face of the Cilento through five little-known villages.
