モンターノアンティリアのおすすめライド

A must-see stop for those cycling along the coastal road

Here in Montano Antilia, a centuries-old vine peeks out from the window of a winery. Stop to admire its decades of work, and take the opportunity to enjoy the view from here.

From this vantage point, a splendid lateral view opens up over Cuccaro Vetere, an ancient village perched in the Cilento mountains. The town's origins date back to the Middle Ages, when the Norman castle, built as a lookout point, dominated the surrounding valleys. Cuccaro Vetere later became a strategic and spiritual center, with its convent and churches that still tell its story today. From above, the village appears as a maze of narrow streets and stone roofs, immersed in greenery and suspended between sky and sea—an authentic Cilento panorama.

Situated in a panoramic position among the Cilento hills, the former convent of Cuccaro Vetere is a place steeped in history and tranquility. Founded in the Middle Ages, it was a religious and cultural hub for the local community for centuries. Today, amidst ancient walls and views stretching to the sea, it offers an atmosphere of peace and serenity, ideal for a brief stop or a moment of contemplation along the way.

An imposing bronze statue dedicated to the legendary Gleaner of Sapri, the protagonist of Luigi Mercantini's famous poem. It depicts the young peasant girl who, according to the poem, witnessed Carlo Pisacane's ill-fated expedition in 1857. Located on the Sapri seafront, the statue overlooks the Gulf of Policastro and offers a spectacular panoramic view, a symbol of freedom and historical memory.

Among the many natural beauties of Cilento, the Capelli di Venere waterfalls in Casaletto Spartano deserve special mention. The Capelli di Venere waterfalls are among the most beautiful in Campania and are visited from all over Italy. Cilento's most famous waterfall is located within the Capello Oasis. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is formed by the Bussentino, a tributary of the Bussento River. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is a natural spectacle, a union of three elements: the water of the Bussentino flows over the maidenhair fern plant that grows attached to the rock. The Capelli di Venere waterfall has created natural pools in the riverbed where you can even bathe. A dip in the icy waters is a real treat, considering the freezing temperatures even in the middle of August.
