The national park Cilento is a still unknown landscape at the Thyrrenian Sea, richly at culture and history, one thinks there of the philosopher's school in Velia, the towers of Saracens, which lines the coast, the temples of Paestum. Il parco nationale del Cilento e del Vallo di Diano extends about more than 200,000 ha and permits only a gentle tourism. You will look in vain here for mass tourism, large club structures etc.. From the middle of September to June you will find nearly deserted beaches, where at the most some inhabitants enjoy a bath; only in August, if nearly all Italy has vacation, this places will be reached also by the Italian guests.

The coast of Campania is simply fantastic. Many small coastal places, invite for staying. Here you find mysterious grottos, lonely bays and beaches, which are to be reached partly only by boat, small Piazzas, where the inhabitants meet. Not to forget the marvelous South Italian cuisine, like the Pizza Napoli, or other courts with Mozzarella and olive oil, and Pasta to each opportunity, in addition a domestic red wine 

A boat excursion along the coast with inspection of many mysterious grottos should belong to every vacation. You can dive, have a bath, do a walking-tour on many ways in the hinterland or along the coast . Who would like to educate further culturally can choose between Pompeji, Paestum, Velia and Convento S. Lorenzo Also the Vesuv is not far away and can be visited the whole year.

Specialities

The fresh Mozzarella from buffalo is a typical product of Campania.

Real Mozzarella cheese of buffalo milk is available in "water bags" to 250g or 500 g in the supermarket (at the sausage bar, not in the cooling shelf). Do not store the Mozzarella too cold. Best of all to consume Mozzarella immediately, with aromatic Cherry tomatoes or fine Parma ham.



For cooking "Fior di Latte" is used, that is made of cow's milk.

Battipaglia and Paestum are the centres of the Mozzarella. There you can see the buffalos feasting also on pastures next to the main street. We recommend to buy directly by the producer, the sales offices (Caseificio) are mainly directly in the SS18, between Battipaglia and Agropoli.
