South of the Amalfi Coast, Cilento offers a quieter side of southern Italy, with coastal roads, rolling hills, olive groves, and historic villages overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ride through Cilento National Park and discover a landscape shaped by centuries of Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean culture, from the magnificent temples of Paestum to charming fishing villages and hilltop towns. Along the way, visit a local buffalo mozzarella farm, explore the coast by boat, and enjoy regional food and wine. With boutique hotels, beautiful beaches, and time to swim and relax, this is a cycling journey through one of southern Italy’s most rewarding and less-traveled regions.
