Departure from Centola (Salerno)
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...
