![]() | Italian Parks - Cilento, a paradise of nature Dorina, a sprightly old lady approaching her centenary, is the last inhabitant of an abandoned village in the heart of the Cilento. She and the otters of the River Calore are the only remaining survivors of a still-untamed land, protected as a National Park, between one of the most unspoilt coastlines of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the agricultural plain. For the first time in a century, high up on a pylon, a stork is nesting. www.sdcinematografica.it info@sdcinematografica.it |

More of touristic towns by the coast are "frazioni"; as for example Santa Maria di Castellabate, Acciaroli, Velia, Palinuro, Marina di Camerota, Scario and Policastro Bussentino. The inner boundaries are the Alburni mountains and Vallo di Diano, sometimes considered as part of cilentan geographical region, which has in Sala Consilina its largest center. The most important towns in this area are Vallo della Lucania (in the middle), Sapri and Agropoli: this is the largest town of Cilento and the principal harbour. Most of this area is included in "Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park". |
