Cycling Cilento, between Sea and Natural Park - Guided

Welcome to Sapri

Welcome to Sapri, an authentic crossroads of peoples, cultures, and traditions. Overlooking the Gulf of Policastro, the southernmost corner of Campania before Basilicata, this elegant seaside town boasts a millennia-old history: from its Greek origins to its role as a thriving commercial hub, and later as a renowned holiday destination thanks to its mild climate—so delightful that Cicero famously described it as “the little gem of the Southern sea.”
Along the coastline stands the iconic Statue of the Spigolatrice, a powerful symbol of local identity. Inland, archaeological remains, historic watchtowers, and the Obelisk dedicated to Carlo Pisacane tell important chapters of Sapri’s past.
Let's get ready to saddle up: an extraordinary cycling holiday in the heart of Cilento awaits us.
Meet your tour leader and enjoy a welcome dinner to kick off your cycling adventure.

From Morigerati to Marina di Camerota

45km, +950m –1200m

After visiting the WWF Oasis of the Bussento Caves, we get back on our bikes and ride towards Sicilì, stopping in the village square for a great Italian coffee. From here, the road gently descends, leading us toward the deep blue of the Mediterranean.
We reach Scario, with its charming seafront and lighthouse overlooking Tragara Beach. Cycling along the spectacular coastal road that skirts the Protected Marine Area of Costa degli Infreschi and Masseta, one of the wildest and most unspoiled stretches of the Cilento coast, we arrive in Marina di Camerota.
If we're lucky, we'll be able to visit the Peluso Farm to discover and taste local produce. And for those who still have energy and a desire to explore, the finale is all yours to choose from: a walk along the coastal paths or a boat trip to Cala Bianca, a remote seaside gem reachable only by sea or via scenic excursions.

Monte Stella Loop Ride

50km, +900m –900m

Today’s stage will be intense yet highly scenic, taking us from the coast into the historic inland heart of ancient Cilento, through rolling hills, picturesque villages, and breathtaking views.
We set off from Casal Velino, and the road immediately begins to climb through centuries-old olive groves and terraced vineyards, eventually reaching the slopes of Monte Stella, the heart of the route known as the Ancient Cilento Ring.
The ascent leads us through chestnut woods and sunny clearings, passing delightful villages, monasteries, and beautifully preserved stone mills. San Mango Cilento, Sessa Cilento, Omignano, Stella Cilento, Guarrazzano, San Giovanni, and Galdo are just some of the places we will pass through, offering a true immersion into the history and daily life of southern Italy.
In the final kilometers, the road gently descends toward the coastal plain before returning to Casal Velino. Here, a warm welcome and a well-deserved dinner await you at your agriturismo, where you can savor the authentic flavors of Cilento and recharge after a memorable day.

Farewell Paestum

After breakfast, the tour comes to an end.
Before leaving Paestum, one last tip: don’t go home without a buffalo mozzarella from Campania in your backpack. Fresh, authentic, and unforgettable—it’s the perfect souvenir to carry the taste of Cilento all the way back home.
