Campania walks

Suggested walk to reach three superb beaches (the last one, Spiaggia degli Infreschi, being the most beautiful). At the end of April there was no one there and not a boat in sight (but this does not seem to be the case in summer). The route is a return walk starting from a road (alongside which you can park your car). The end of the outward leg isn’t particularly interesting, other than gaining a bit of height to admire the scenery (with high mountains in the background). You can simply visit the three beaches, which shortens the walk, or do a circular route by returning via the road, or even park at the car park (Parcheggio Costa Infreschi) located along the route (provided your car can handle the stony paths).

The Fort of Palinuro is one of the fortifications located on the tip of the Capo Palinuro promontory. Built to defend the harbour, it is located on a cliff overlooking the sea and offers a panoramic view of the bay and the Blue Grotto. From the harbour, you can follow a well-marked path that leads to the lighthouse (faro), descends towards the cliffs and climbs back up towards the harbour. Magnificent views of the sea and cliffs as you walk among small shrubs...
