In the southernmost corner of Cilento, on the Gulf of Policastro and the border with Calabria, the fishing village of Scario on the Gulf of Policastro rounds off the impressively wildly romantic cliffs of the Costa della Masseta as another highlight. From the striking church tower of the Chiesa dell’ Immacolata, the harbour opens up with its promenade lined with palm trees, flowering oleanders and picturesquely spruced-up house fronts. Read more
Between Marina di Camerota and Scario on the Gulf of Policastro, the Cilento coast is wild and dramatic. The coastal road winds its way up from Marina di Camerota in many hairpin bends via Lentiscosa into the hinterland, passing Monte Bulgheria before reaching the Gulf of Policastro again at Scario. Here, the mountains move right up to the sea, rising steeply over 500 m from the water: sun-bleached yellow grassy slopes, criss-crossed by a pattern of green macchia and karstic white rock ridges, stand in sharp contrast to the azure, steel blue and turquoise of the sea and a cloudless sky. Steep cliffs and rugged crags, hidden grottoes and small bays with pebble or sandy beaches alternate, with the crumbling ruins of former coastal watchtowers always in sight above them. Read more
