Two of the most popular activities for people visiting Cilento are bike rides and hikes.
The hilly and mountainous landscape offers many routes suitable for all levels, historic trails that follow the coast, all the way to the highest peaks. In winter, you can go snowshoeing on the peaks. Mount Cervati is the highest, reaching 1898 meters.
In addition to extraordinary natural beauty, this land is steeped in history, and its deep roots are witnessed by the people of Cilento. This is reflected in the many ancient villages that dot the entire Cilento region, from picturesque seaside towns along the coast to medieval ones in the hinterland, such as Camerota, Castellabate, Roccagloriosa and Teggiano.
