The Midnight Tower is another Saracen tower that defended the sea borders of the Kingdom of Naples. In this case, the tower is not in excellent condition.

February 28, 2024,Trek Cilento-Campania: sentiero “Apprezzamm u’ Ciucc’“ da Sapri.

The suggestive name "Apprezzamm u' Ciucc'" can be attributed to a less suggestive legend. At the beginning of the 20th century the path was the only stretch of the coast that connected Sapri with Maratea, a key route for the exchange of goods transported by donkeys.
Unfortunately the path is very narrow and steep in some places and the donkeys …

The path is feasible up to the Midnight Tower and just beyond. At a certain point the path becomes very difficult... indeed very dangerous and it is more than risky to want to go up to the Mezzanotte canal (border between Campania and Basilicata).

It is best to start at the port of Sapri. There you can park for free. Then you walk the easy-to-walk Sentiero Apprezzami l'Asino for about three kilometers. This ends at an old ruin of a watchtower. Here you can watch the sunset well.

Very beautiful coastal path between Sapri and Maratea with tremendous views of the Gulf of Policastro. Sturdy shoes are recommended, as the terrain at the end of the tour is slightly exposed. A stick as a companion is also advantageous, as snakes can occasionally be encountered on the tour.
