The top stops along the way from Valletta to Naples (with short detours) are Reawakened Ancient City: Archaeological Areas of Pompeii, Island of Ortigia, and Temple of Athena. Other popular stops include Shore of Tropea, Syracuse Cathedral, and Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia.
The Cathedral of Syracuse, a remarkable religious edifice, was constructed in the 7th century and boasts an impressive baroque facade adorned with statues. This stunning structure is an extraordinary fusion of ancient pagan architecture and Christian Baroque influences. The cathedral's unique design includes remnants of the Minerva Temple dating from ancient times, which were built on top of ruins from a sixth-century BC Athena temple.
The cathedral of Syracuse is of a beauty that leaves you speechless: a concentration of art, architecture, history and culture. Officially named the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Nativity of Maria Santissima, stands on the elevated part of the island of Ortigia, incorporating what was the main sacred temple in the Doric style of the Syrakousai polis, dedicated to Athena (Minerva) and converted into a church with the advent of Christianity.
It became part of the heritage protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
We took several pictures of its houses statues, relics and remains of Syracusan saints, martyrs and nobles, in particolare related to Lucia of Syracuse, known as Santa Lucia, which was a Christian martyr of the early 4th century. Absolutely to visit. ⛪️🔔🥰

Grand front and relatively plainer interior. But the Doric columns from the ancient temple 🛕 are a fascinating aspect of the interior structure. Also the interior chapel dedicated to Saint Agatha is quite interesting, including a video of the annual procession.

It’s very famous and also it’s history is very interesting which combines the Greek and Roman architect styles, it’s built BC and lasts till AD. It’s not very fancy and “wow” inside. The silver statue only goes out showing the public twice a year and actually no chance u will see it any other days of the year. There’s a miniature and video tho. Entrance fee 2€.

Lovely Cathedral in Ortega island Syracuse. We were lucky and arrived just as a military wedding was leaving the church. Exit was carried out in great style and the Piazza Duomo is one of the prettiest in Italy.
Cathedral is very interesting as it is built on a pre christian Greek temple and makes use of the original ionic or doric columns, very large and cut from a single piece of stone

Elements of an ancient Greek temple, byzantine conversion, Norman occupation and baroque architecture along with the relics and frescos make this a must on any stop in Syracuse.

Syracuse Cathedral, located in the heart of the historic city of Syracuse in Sicily, is a magnificent religious landmark that captures the essence of the region's rich history and architectural splendor. Steeped in ancient charm, this grand cathedral stands as a testament to the city's cultural and religious heritage. The interior of the cathedral is equally captivating, with intricate frescoes, ornate sculptures, and stunning stained glass windows that bathe the space in a warm, ethereal glow. The attention to detail and craftsmanship displayed in the artwork and decorations is truly remarkable, reflecting the dedication and skill of the artists who contributed to its creation.

During an early morning walk, we decided to visit this magnificent Cathedral of Syracuse. As they just opened, there was no queue and after paying the entry ticket of €2 each we walked in. The Cathedral is beautiful and well maintained. It is worth the visit and if you don’t want people ruining your pictures, I really recommend going in the early morning. It’s much quieter and you have time to explore it without been disturbed by others.

Ortigia Island is a charming and historic island situated in Siracusa, Sicily. It boasts of beautiful stone buildings, squares, a temple, shops, eateries and a small beach. Connected to the mainland by two bridges, it is predominantly pedestrian with winding alleyways that create an ideal environment for losing oneself. The western part of the island has some of the best restaurants making it perfect for evening menu browsing.
Spent five days enjoying the walled island and as a base for exploring further. Slept well, eat very well, swam when calm enough.

The island of Ortigia is known all over the world for its unique beauty. In fact, we were speechless in front of the charm of this land, surrounded by a beautiful crystalline sea and full of characteristic streets, places, monuments and many churches, all to visit. Unfortunately, we cannot make you feel its scents all around, both those of the vegetation and those that came from the clear waters that surround Ortigia.

Beatiful historical part of Siracusa. One of my favourite place in Sicily. I would walk hours and hours through that pictoresque baroque streets. On every step you can find something interesting. Plenty of restaurants, caffes, artisan shops everywhere. Duomo is beautiful. But the most magical part is watching the sunset on promenade. I love Ortigia especially becuase it wasn't so touristy as Taormina and allowing you to relax.

Stroll through the picturesque streets, lined with Baroque architecture, and discover the lively markets showcasing local crafts and delicacies. The iconic Cathedral of Siracusa, a majestic amalgamation of various architectural styles, stands as a must-visit landmark. Take a leisurely walk along the waterfront promenade, enjoying panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. Indulge in the island's culinary delights at seaside trattorias.

Pentedattilo is a tiny settlement located in southern Italy, and it is currently part of Melito di Porto Salvo. Previously, it was an independent town until 1811 when Italy was unified. The village sits atop Monte Calvario, a mountain whose contours once looked like five fingers. It stands at an elevation of 250 meters above sea level.
Bar Vitelli, located in the charming village of Savoca, gained fame for its appearance in The Godfather. The iconic doorway and classic rattan chairs transport visitors to the famous film scene. The bar is now a popular tourist attraction filled with memorabilia from the movie. Nearby, Chiesa di San Nicolo hosts another famous scene from the film, attracting many tourists.
Bar Vitelli is world famous for appearing in The Godfather movie. The bar is set in a stunning Savoca village, located east of Palermo, in Sicily. A fantastic place to visit in its own right much more so if you are a fan of The Godfather movies. The drinks and desserts were also delicious. Very highly recommended location to visit while touring Sicily.
Daniel Soccio — Google review
Loved this place, surprised to get a table right outside the famous doorway. Memorabilia inside was cool as well. Lemon Granita and a cannoli on a blisteringly hot day was really nice. Service was excellent even though it was chaos at times due to tourist buses arriving.
Rob F — Google review
Bar Vitelli was nicer 10 years ago. Then we visited it on an October evening, there were no people, the vines had leaves and cast shadows, making the place mysterious as if from a movie. Now we visited on January 1st at noon and it was full of people drinking cappuccino from disposable paper cups.. I definitely didn't like it. It has lost its authenticity and I definitely didn't like it. If you are not a big fan of the movie "The Godfather" you can skip it. Go straight to the church.
Sonya Miteva — Google review
A small room with pictures of Godfather shooting, you can look on google maps uploaded by other visitors - that's it. The price of the cafe is expansive! A cappuccino costs 4.50 euro and main dish from 15 euro. The tasteless salad bowl comes with fresh greens, black pepper corns cheese and few anjovis. The cheese cubes are with whole black pepper - not good for biting. I did not like the granita either. It's bothering and unhygienic that the cats jumping on the chair to look for food. The location looks like a Maison but it's not a classy restaurant. With the high review, it truly disappointed me. The food is not even comparable to a snack bar.

Definitely plan on going to Bar Vitelli and Savoca if you're going to Sicily. Bar Vitelli is charming, and Savoca itself is equally as charming. I thought I'd go take a picture and leave, but I ended up spending a couple of hours walking around the town and hanging out in the garden in front of Bar Vitelli. It's a charming old Norman town. The drive up is a circuitous, narrow road up a mountain. Gorgeous views. I accidentally drove down the back of the mountain and was afraid I was going to end up in a ditch or get caught facing a car coming in the opposite direction (there's only room for one car, and it's steep), but I was fine and had no trouble getting to Catania.

An amazing experience! We felt we travelled back in time, and that at any moment, Michael and Apollonia would enter the bar too. The bar is wonderfully preserved and cared for by the family of the original owner, Maria D'Arrigo, the lovely Sicilian woman who charmed Al Pacino with her granite, and who passed away in 2009. We felt honored to meet her nephew who is currently taking care of the wonderful bar. You can see lots of photos from the famous Godfather movie that was filmed in Savoca, or even the original chair that Al Pacino was sitting on while proposing Apollonia's hand in marriage to her father in Bar Vitelli.
Wonderful Sicilian experience, and all the best to the family that put Savova on the world map.
Ana S — Google review
Even without the Godfather connection, this would be a great café bar to visit. The views are amazing and the period decorations are perfectly preserved. With appearances in The Godfather movies, though, the number of tourists make the whole town of Savoca a very busy location, with busloads of tourists and many languages spoken inside and outside. Luckily the food and drink are good, with Sicilian favourites like granite (frozen lemon sorbet drink) and prosciutto sandwiches on offer. The prices for the sandwichea are 20 euro with the tourist supplement added, so rest assured the owner of Bar Vitelli knows what they've got here! Standard granite limone is 4.50 and very nice on a warm day. There's not a huge selection of competing cafés in Savoca, but there is one across the town square and a baker around the corner, so one could have a drink at Vitelli and search out food elsewhere, which is what we did.
Frank McKinney — Google review
Bar Vitelli in Sicily is a captivating slice of cinematic history from "The Godfather" era. Stepping into this charming establishment feels like entering a time capsule. The rustic, sun-kissed façade and classic interiors evoke a sense of nostalgia. The welcoming ambiance, coupled with authentic Italian hospitality, creates an unforgettable experience. Sipping espresso at the same bar featured in the iconic film is a delightful journey for any enthusiast. Whether you're a cinephile or seeking a taste of traditional Sicilian charm, Bar Vitelli delivers a unique and memorable visit, leaving patrons with a sense of connection to the past.

The Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia, also known as the Archeological Museum of Reggio Calabria or Palazzo Piacentini, has recently fully reopened after years of renovation. It showcases artifacts from various eras including Neolithic, Palaeolithic, Hellenistic and Roman times. The museum boasts an impressive collection of original artifacts from around southern Italy tastefully presented with bilingual explanations in English and Italian.
Fantastic rare collection in a not too large space. A couple of hours would suffice. Definitely worth a stop, also with kids.

I had a very disappointing experience at the museum. The staff was incredibly rude and controlling throughout my visit. Despite the main attraction, the Bronzi di Riace, being inaccessible, they still insisted on selling me a full-price ticket. I would not recommend this place given the poor customer service and lack of access to key exhibits.

Comprehensive well presented history of Greek settlement in southern Italy and the Mediterranean. Great displays of pottery and jewellery. Some, though not all with English description. The Riace bronzes are stunning, but not the only thing worth seeing. Cafe only opens for events and bookshop seemed to be permanently closed. Not many visitors so you can spend as much time as you want
Keith Ibbetson — Google review
This museum is the only one in all of Italy that was actually built as a museum and has remained that way since it was built. All displays have detailed information about the items. They take you through the very early part of the historical times up to and including the two bronze full body statues that were recently retrieved from the Mediterranean sea. Plan on spending at least three hours if you want to see it all

Fantastic museum with many artifacts from the 6th to 4th centuries bc. Well worth a visit when in Reggio Calabria. Highly recommended.
Scot S — Google review
A marvellous museum with many works from excavations from the numerous areas and towns of Italian Magna Graecia. Enormous amounts of didactic information on the complex archeological history of the area. On a less positive note, at least in late September, the museum is besieged with large Northern European tour groups which makes accessing the museums “crown jewels” the Bronzes of Riace, something of a trial as there is a tedious timed air lock access system which you have to navigate before gaining access to the Holy of Holies.
Simon Gittins — Google review
Five stars for the girl’s beautiful smile at the ticket counter and the museum’s modern interior. However, if you’re not particularly interested in BC history, the museum might feel boring. It mainly features two large bronze statues and numerous amphoras.

Excellent museum. Aside the obvious appeal of the famous bronzes, the museum is well organized, informative and nicely displayed. The chronological arrangement of the artefacts and the clear explanations and context (also in English) give a fabulous condensed tour of antiquity in Calabria.
And the bronzes didn’t dissapoint! Mesmerising.

The public beach Shore of Tropea is a small shoreline with soft sand and clear waters, nestled under high cliffs and the historic town of Tropea. It has become a popular destination over the last decade due to its incredible beauty, particularly when the sun sets over the horizon. The beach is clean and well-maintained, with several restaurants offering great dining experiences at night. For those brave enough to climb on the huge rocks, there is an opportunity to witness breathtaking views.
Very wonderful place! Beautiful white good beach. Convenient descent to the water. The sea has a bustling color like in the Caribbean. No Garbage and packages in the water. The sand is soft. View on the background of the white cliff and the sea: a great surroundings for unusual photos! In the evening you can see Stromboli volcano! I recommend this beach for all who love silence and clear sea!
It is unfortunate, but at 7.30 am on April 7, 2023, part of the island fell ashore into the sea. The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. I hope the local authorities have enough resources to restore and strengthen the coast in this place!

Beautiful as in old Italian movie. All colors of blue and tuirquise are present, especialy if the sky is with dark clouds and strong wind waves the water. It is usualy very windy. The most selled toy on the beach are kites and there are so many of them in the air over the beach. Some of them are many meters long in a form of dragon, octopus etc.

Jewel of Calabria. City built on a cliff with turquoise blue sea coast.
Castello Murat, also known as Murat Castle, is a well-preserved military fortress and prison located in Pizzo. Built in the 14th century, it offers historical exhibits and panoramic views of the surrounding area. The castle is famous for being the place where Joachim Murat, King of Naples and brother-in-law of Napoleon Bonaparte, was imprisoned and sentenced to death in 1815.
Nice castle in the center of Pizzo... It's famous because brother in law of Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned there... Now inside you can see reproduction of that... The ticket is cheap about 3e...there is not so much people there and you not wait for long for entrance... The castle is in historic central part of this little city... From there you have so nice view... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Pizzo and that part of Calabria...

Great place for panoramic and portrait photos! Perfectly preserved this fortress.
The Aragonese castle (Murat Fortress) was built on the coastal cliff in the 15th century, but gained fame three centuries later thanks to Joachim Murat. Murat was Napoleon’s marshal and married to his sister Caroline. Disillusioned with the success of the military company, Murat fled from the unwashed imperial Russia from her masters and slaves to the side of the enemy. In October 1815, he was arrested, imprisoned in a fortress in Pizzo and after the trial was shot. Now in the fortress-museum you can see the camera of Murat, the scene of the court, the prisoners and their guards, all the figures are made of wax. From the balcony of the fortress offers a beautiful view of the sea, we were there at sunset.

Nicely preserved castle with a small museum inside. Definitely worth the entrance fee of 2.50 EUR. Great view over the harbour.

The castle is quite well preserved and there is an exhibition there of puppets arranged to represent inmates from the time when Murat was imprisoned at the castle.
I found it a little bit disappointing that the castle focused on Murat so much, I think the castle has so much more history to it and all of it shouldn't just be pushed aside to accommodate this Murat guy.

Interesting story, and beautiful architectural construction.
Church Piedigrotta is a unique seaside church located in Pizzo, Calabria. It was carved into the tufa rock by Neapolitan shipwreck survivors as an expression of gratitude for their survival. The church features elaborately carved figures and statues created by unknown artists, making it a remarkable example of popular religious art in southern Italy.
Mystical place worth to visit. Don't park in the upward square because the previous owner of the cave will ask you a 5 EUR black money to scam you also for even 1 minute of parking. Instead find the white or blue stripes very common in Pizzo. The townhall dedicated guardian was amaizng also to give us a tour of the cave for free.

Unusual and very unique - a lovely story of a local man who took responsibility for the cave and did so many carvings. Don’t think many people know the story! Before visiting look it up! One tip, don’t pay for parking at the top, drive down the side where you can find a car park which is free.

This place is stunning i absolutely loved my visit here. The little church on the beach is well worth a visit and also the real history into this church is worth looking up. It is only €3.00 entry charge for as long as you want. It is interesting too see all the hand made stone statues.
The Beach is absolutely stunning and clean.
It's not usually to busy, but a lot of tourist buses stop to visit here.
There are little bars/cafe's here too so it's the perfect place to pull over.
Just 10 minutes drive along the road from here there is Pizzo another place worth a visit.

This place, the photos look good, but when you arrive at the place, there is no great impression. It's not worth going to it. There is a beautiful beach nearby, so it gave us more impressions. (don't be too lazy to walk over the rocks to the coves and a completely private view. a few tips for those who don't like to overpay: * upon arrival, there is a parking lot - paid (5eur. hour, 10eur day). You can drive by and park your car nearby, on the side of the road for free. * sculptures. Paid, 5 euros per person. However, you can enter, look around and decide if you really want to enter. Because we went in, but we recommend that you come to look around, get an impression and not go, don't pay. * after visiting this place, you will see nearby directions to try the famous tartufo ice cream in the area. Keep in mind that this is not a cafe, this is a workshop. After following the directions, you will see the ice cream machines and the door of the workshop, you have to call them. (price of ice cream, we took 2 portions for 5 euros).

Simply furnished rooms in a low-key B&B on a hillside, offering scenic views & complimentary Wi-Fi.
(Translated by Google) In a country full of rich Albanian traditions, on the Ionian side of the stupendous Pollino National Park, the Ponte del Diavolo B&B, which takes its name from the bridge over the Raganello gorges, is certainly a place to rest in complete tranquility. Managed with attention to the real needs of guests, it has very comfortable rooms for any need and is also equipped with a fully equipped breakfast room with kitchen. Absolutely recommended.

We had a wonderful time with Lao Rafting! The staff was very friendly and professional.
A cool thing was that they didn't mix the groups, so even if we were two families of three, we got our own boat and guide.
We would have loved to do the long one ride, but the shorter one seem more adapted to our 4yo son. He loved the experience! . Next time well go for the long one!
We also got the photos they took of us during the ride and I'm glad we did!!

Can’t speak highly enough of this organisation. Francesco and Amy took us on the canyon trip, stunningly gorgeous scenery and exhilarating rafting between steep cliffs, boulders and waterfalls.

Loved every minute and well worth the money. Thanks Francesco and Amy!!

The nature along the trip is breathtaking .
Minus : can be better if we could take a bit more time to enjoy the views . Also would be funnier with more freedom from the staff which can be very strict during the trip (almost no swimming allowed even when the water is very calm. ). If you are looking for adventure and fun you might find it childish..
Finally i found it very annoying to pay 20€ EXTRA PER PERSON for the pictures. We were 2 doing the trip and they asked us to pay 40€ knowing that we were together on the pictures… then she « gave » us 50% discount. Anyway, pictures are taken and a guide is payed to take them during all the trip. Its shame to just erase them if nobody wants them. They should be included in the price. And actually, its seems logical that the trip already includes the photographer cost otherwise why would they take the risk to have customers not paying for them?!

Perched atop the 700-meter Corcovado mountain in Tijuca National Park, overlooking Rio de Janeiro, is the iconic Statue of Christ the Redeemer. This 21-meter marble statue, built in 1965 by artist Bruno Innocenti, has become a symbol of Christianity and a cultural icon of Brazil. Its arms are outstretched as if embracing and protecting the city. The journey to this landmark involves a winding road but rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding countryside.
Statue of Christ the Redeemer
635 metric tons and is located atop the 700-meter Corcovado mountain in Tijuca National Park overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro. A symbol of Christianity around the world, the statue has also become a cultural icon of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.The statue has its arms spread wide, embracing and protecting the city with this gesture. The foundation stone was laid in 1922, and in 1923 the project of the Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa was selected in the competition, work began in 1926. However, the statue is the work of the French sculptor of Polish origin, Maximilien Paul Landowski . It was ceremonially unveiled on October 12, 1931 as a monument to Brazil's independence from Portugal, proclaimed in 1822.

Amazing view of the coast, but both the statue and lighting of it when it gets dark are pretty tacky. Can't get all the way up by car, there's a paid parking and a bus that gets there, or you can get up by feet either on the asphalt road or on a steeper foot path.

Beautiful place to view the coast below and mountains behind. Limited parking directly at the top, but additional parking a bit further down just a few mins walk away. Impressive even just to arrive by car along the winding roads up the mountain. Come at sunset for the best views. Bar and souvenir shop at the top too.

(Translated by Google) Spiaggia del Buon Dormire is simply a small paradise. But to get there you have to cross a stretch of sea with a pedal boat from the closest beach, that of Marinella, about 700 meters away.
The peace and quiet of the place make it perfect for resting away from the beaches and the crowds. It is completely in nature and I advise you to stay there as much as possible ... also to recharge for the return.
The bar/restaurant has been closed for a year now. The area is under seizure due to the danger of landslides and the collapse of part of the rock wall in which this pearl is set.

Spiaggia del Buon Dormire è semplicemente un piccolo paradiso. Ma per arrivarci bisogna attraversare un tratto di mare con un pedalò dal lido più vicino, quello della Marinella, a circa 700 mt.

Il bar/ristorante ormai è chiuso da un anno. La zona è sotto sequestro per pericolo di frane e crolli di parte della parete rocciosa in cui è incastonata questa perla.

(Translated by Google) The bay of good sleep is a place that cannot be missed if you are near Palinuro. We got there by renting a pedal boat from Lido Marianella and it took us 10/15 minutes to get there. Don't be fooled by Maps, the bay is quite close. As can be seen from the photos, the sea is SPECTACULAR, a truly natural oasis. Pedaloes can be parked on the beach. However, the beach is slowly becoming smaller and smaller because the sea is eating it up. I think that in a few years this little piece of beach is destined to disappear. Another positive note is the temperature of the water which is absolutely warm and not cold. Ps: you can only get there by sea.

La baia del buondormire è un posto che non può non essere visitato se ci si trova nei pressi di palinuro. Noi ci siamo arrivati affittando il pedalò dal lido marianella e ci abbiamo messo 10/15 minuti per arrivarci. Non fatevi ingannare da Maps, la baia è abbastanza vicina. Come si evince dalle foto il mare è SPETTACOLARE, un oasi naturale per davvero. Sulla spiaggia si possono parcheggiare i pedalò. La spiaggia pero piano piano sta diventando sempre più piccola perchè il mare se la sta mangiando. Penso che tra non molti anni questo piccolo pezzo di spiaggia è destinato a sparire. Altra nota positiva è la temperatura dell’acqua che è assolutamente tiepida e non fredda. Ps: ci si può arrivare solo via mare.

Cape Palinuro is a breathtakingly beautiful and historic landmark with stunning ocean views, sea caves, and a towering lighthouse standing at 230 feet. The area features unique locations, such as the cove with an incredibly deep seabed that creates an exclusive intense blue color known as "blue Palinuro." Visitors can enjoy scenic walks around the fortifications and bay while taking in the captivating views. This landmark is undoubtedly worth visiting for anyone seeking to experience natural beauty and historical significance.
Very attractive, with views across the bay and beyond. Some good walks too, including around the fortifications. Well, well worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Interesting, very scenic trekking routes. Not too difficult, but to be done with appropriate clothing and above all with appropriate shoes. To get to the lighthouse the difference in altitude is around 200 meters which cumulatively reaches 300/350 metres, in some cases quite steep. The slope facing the open sea is not suitable for small children, not too exposed, but with points that need to be followed carefully.

Interessanti percorsi di trekking molto panoramici. Non troppo difficili, ma da fare con abbigliamento adeguato e soprattutto con scarpe adeguate.

Non adatto a bambini piccoli il versante verso il mare aperto, non troppo esposto, ma con punti da percorrere con attenzione.

(Translated by Google) As always, Cilento gives us places of absurd majesty. Capo palinuro is a wonderful but nevertheless somewhat risky path. Some local guides even told us that in the summer some people enter the path wearing flip-flops. Let's face it, it's a pretty dangerous path. There is no risk of getting lost because the path has orientation signs and also directional signs between the stages. I recommend being well prepared and equipped. But this should be routine for every type of trail from the simplest to the most complex. I recommend visiting all the stages from the ruins of the towers to the various panoramic points. There is little to say, nature gives you a lot without ever asking for anything in return other than at least respecting it. I will definitely go back.
(Original)
Come sempre il Cilento ci regala luoghi di una maestosità assurda . Capo palinuro è un sentiero meraviglioso ma tuttavia alquanto rischioso . Alcune guide locali ci hanno addirittura raccontato che nel periodo estivo alcune persone si addentrano nel sentiero con le infradito. Diciamoci la verità è un sentiero abbastanza pericoloso . Non c'è rischio di perdersi perché il sentiero presenta segnali di orientamento ed anche dei cartelli direzionali tra le tappe . Consiglio di essere ben preparati ed equipaggiati . Ma questo dovrebbe essere routine per ogni tipo di sentiero dal più semplice al più complesso . Consiglio di visitare tutte le tappe dalle rovine delle torri alle varie punte panoramiche . C'è poco da dire la natura ti dà tanto senza mai chiedere nulla in cambio se non almeno di rispettarla. Ci tornerò sicuramente.

There are too many beaches and lots and lots of people.

Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Jagged promontory about 2 km long... a true naturalistic jewel in the Cilento National Park... made of rock and sea well shaped by nature. A boat excursion is very necessary given the possibility of admiring the continuous succession of coves, ravines and caves with rocky walls that in some points exceed 200 m and the intense blue hue of the water following solar refraction. It is also possible to stop for a swim at the Baia del Buon Sleepre considered among the most beautiful beaches in Italy and reachable only by boat.
(Original)
Promontorio frastagliato lungo circa 2 km... vero e proprio gioiello naturalistico nel Parco Nazionale del Cilento... fatto di roccia e mare ben plasmati dalla natura. Un'escursione in barca è assai doverosa visto la possibilità di ammirare il continuo susseguirsi di calette, anfratti e grotte con pareti rocciose che in alcuni punti superano i 200 m e la tonalità blu intenso delle acque in seguito a rifrazione solare. Possibile anche una sosta bagno alla Baia del Buon dormire considerata tra le spiagge più belle d'Italia e raggiungibile solo via barca.

Small mountainside cascade surrounded by vegetation, close to a ruined mill, with a picnic table.
Decided to go and see the falls 74km drive from our B&B. Arrived what was easy to find 3€ the man paid entrance and 100 meters further the really incredible beauty of a waterfall. A place to enjoy in peace with your feet in the icy water and of course take the picture in all positions of the waterfall. also cross the road for the same price to the second waterfall with also unique photos. There is also a walking route of 13.5 km which must be very beautiful but it was too hot for it. Will definitely come back for it.

Absolutely wonderful place. So peaceful and right in the middle of nature. There are quite a few people there but easy enough to climb the rocks to go in the water. But be careful, the water is absolutely freezing but so refreshing on hot summer days. Not as humid as by the sea but still hot. There is a water fountain that you can drink from, so bring your empty bottles to fill or splash your face and body to really cool down. We absolutely loved it there. Take a picnic and cool down your drinks in the creeks. Sit back, relax and enjoy what nature has to offer. This place is absolutely beautiful.

I went there yesterday. It's a nice place if u live near by. We drove almost 2h and for that long way by car it's not something too special. On the end they making a big thing out of a little thing. Honestly I was disappointed.

Just one of the best places I have ever been.
The place is quite hidden and not right behind the corner, and you will need a car to get there, but it worth it so much!
Splendid water oasis, spectacular on a hot summer day. The water is cristal clear and cold, but not freezing. Is a spot not massively known, so it's most of the time very quiet and isolated. Please, take away your rubbish and do not contaminate this lost paradise 🙏

Acciaroli's marina, located in the charming town of Acciaroli along the coastal region, stands out as a picturesque and captivating destination. It is one among several tourist "villages" that adorn the coastline, attracting numerous visitors. With its delightful Italian allure, Acciaroli offers a serene atmosphere for leisurely evening strolls, dining experiences, and moments of relaxation.
Acciaroli is beautiful little town with real italian charm. Its great for evening stroll, dinner and chilling out.

Acciaroli is an old marine town, grown around the little sea port. What I've enjoyed most is the walk around the old street, in the hart of the town with little Trees and squares. Everything looks clean and well mantained. Sometime there are some tourist shops, but actually this place is a bit far from tourist streams and people here are mainly local or italian.

The Certosa of Saint Lawrence is a vast monastery complex that dates back to 1306. It has beautiful cloisters and fountains, and also houses an archaeology museum. Along with the Valinas of Paestum and Velia, this impressive structure has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998.
Carthusian monasteries are of interest to me (due to my job) so obviously I enjoyed the visit but my family loved it too. It's a well preserved example even though the monks are no longer there.

Lovely day out in stunning medieval Italian abbey in the countryside. Easy to reach from motorway just 1h south of Salerno. Lots of space to run around for children.

A beautiful place that we visited in about two hours! All spectacular from the quiet cloister, the library with the floor covered with Vietri sul Mare ceramic tiles, the church decorated with precious marble, the large kitchen, the spiral staircase, the Sala delle Campane, of the Chapter and the Treasury, the various Chapels, the largest Cloister in the world with the Carthusian Cells really a marvel !!! Despite its majesty and beauty, the place has lost that mystical and sacred dimension typical of religious places. There is a large outdoor parking cost € 3.00. In the courtyard you can admire the beautiful seventeenth-century façade in Baroque style where there is the ticket office together with the bookshop point, which is usually located at the end of the route. We wanted to buy a little book but finished in Italian language! Besides the fact that it is a unique place and therefore absolutely to visit but it could really does much more!

The Archaeological Park of Paestum is a complex of ancient temples dedicated to Hera, Athena, and Neptune, alongside an amphitheater and a museum. Located in the Cilento region of Italy, this park showcases well-preserved Greek ruins dating back to the sixth century BC. It offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and cultural legacy of Magna Grecia, the Greek Empire that once thrived in southern Italy before Roman conquest.
Amazing!! Definitely worth the drive down to see some of the most well preserved ancient greek ruins. The highlight is the three temples but there are also other ruins and a small museum. Tickets were €12 per person which we bought there. There is also parking nearby which is convenient and a fair few restaurants to stop at before or after. Overall a great place to visit!

Love this place lot's of ancient things to see went today on a guided tour with group and we all enjoyed it. They got lots of Greek ancient artifacts which I think is well preserved . Just make sure you put some sunscreen before going as it's an open area. Take your cap and sunglasses as well. We also visited the museum nearby and overall it was an amazing travel. It's one of the most amazing sites for me for my trip. Try visiting them and hope you'll like it as well.

Breath taking views on temples of Neptune Hera and Athena . Ticket is for temple area and also fo museum on opposite side. No chance to buy any water on site so remember to bring one in hot days. You will need few hours to see everything.

Paestum is one of the best places in Italy to see Greek ruins and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It has three spectacular Greek temples, two Hera Temples close to each other, one has massive colonnades, quite astounding. The third Athena Temple is further away. The original sea wall and guard towers from the Greek colony are pre-Roman and still standing.
The extensive area which is open to the public includes civic buildings, the Roman forum and amphitheatre, paved roadways and ruins of residential buildings. Pathways are kept clear, but tall grass and flowers drown many of the low walls and tumbled masonry.
Well worth the visit if in the area. Toilets on site. It's a short walk from the train station.
Paul B — Google review
A trio of some of best preserved Greek temples (pre-Roman) in the world. Is it worth visiting? A resounding yes. Best way to get there is by train from Naples (fastest train is about 1h each way). Train station is an easy walk from the ruins. The museum is also interesting , a magnificent collection of funerary frescoes that are worth seeing.
Chris C — Google review
Worth visiting, the site is beautiful. We went mid June around lunch time, it was hot but luckily not that busy, there is no shade so plenty sunscreen and a hat will help.
We got tickets at the door, seems like on their website there are discounted tickets, but they said it must be wrong, the cost is more. Maybe there is a different price for tourists, who knows.
Although the architecture was humbling, the grass could have been kept neater.
Overall definitely worth the visiting together with the museum at the end.

The Archaeological Park of Paestum, also known as Poseidonia, is an unbelievably well-preserved historical landmark. Including 3 of the most well-known Doric temples in the world and several archaeological sites of great interest, the park is an open-air museum. Visiting is a must, especially if you're under 25: the entry will only set you back of 3 euros!
Matteo Gambino — Google review
It was a very rainy day, so we didn't have quite the experience we were looking for as we rushed through the park because it was so wet. That being said, we had the park to ourselves, and it is a magnificent experience. The ruins are amazing, and I would highly recommend seeing this. Also, the museum is wonderful and very informative.
Cheri Southwick — Google review
Very well kept and interesting archeological site with ancient Greek temples and "newer" Roman republican ruins. There are 3 well preserved Doric temples and the less ancient Roman city ruins. The park is very large and there is a Museum worth seeing for artifacts, frescoes and the famous "diver" fresco.
It is only a 10 minutes walk from the Paestum railroad station.
The Regional train departs from Napoli almost every hour and it takes about 75 minutes from Salerno just 35 minutes.

Paestum is beautiful, our first time there.
Difficult to get to if you don’t have a car.
The Greek ruins are 600BC and a must see if you go there.
Paul Austin — Google review
Much better and bigger than I expected. Definitely not to miss when you’re in the area. Need at least 1 hour but 2-3 hour’s minimum is best. Really interesting not just for the massive main structures but also the history of the totally ruined areas like arenas and amphitheatre. Also the museum is very good. I recommend buying the small guide book. in Nov 2023 it was only 6 Euro.
Byron Sheardown — Google review
Where Greece ends the Roman empire begins. - Paestum is the ancient city where it happens. It takes your breath away when you first set your eyes on it - it gets better from there.
No need to book in advance. Train from Central station in Napoli takes just over an hour. Great walk among ancient ruins. Good local restaurants around. Toilet facilities are in order and available. App guide is available and it works great taking you around the perimeter.
Just go. Don't think. Just go.
Blaž Alič — Google review
A grand archeological swath of history to saunter and roam about. Visually stunning Greek temples with remnants of a thriving community dating back to the 500s BC. The museum across the street (which is included in your ticket price) is also a necessary component to see the historic evolution of the Greco Roman site. On a good day, give it a good three hours between the two. If you can make it back at night, the lit structures will excite your senses.

We drove all the way from Bari just to visit this amazing archaeological site ! For the price of just 16€ you get access on the enormous site of poseidonia and the museum witch is located nearby . Truly a once in a lifetime experience .

An amazing site. Entry was expensive at 16 euros but we were able to see all we needed to walking along the road next to the site without going in. I was here 40 years ago when there was one little kiosk at it was all just in a field. Now very busy even in October. There was easy parking right at the site for 3 euro.

The Temple of Athena is an ancient archaeological site dating back to 500 BCE that still stands today, offering visitors a glimpse into Italy's rich history. Located in Paestum, the area is popular for walks and natural scenery, with beaches and other temples also nearby. The Tempio di Cerere offers insights into the history of Paestum while a paid parking lot outside provides convenience along with dog-friendly policies. Visitors can enjoy the museum across the street using their ticket from visiting the temple.
Great place to go for a walk and enjoy the scenery as well as a beautiful part of Italy's history

The temples and compound here are as impressive as the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens. Huge grounds and amazing ruins. Would take 3-4 hours to see all the ruins and that's not including the museum next door.

Among the three temples in Paestum, the temple of Athena stands out as the only one whose attribution to the goddess is confirmed. This site preserves the remnants of ancient metopes and triglyphs, which unfortunately no longer exist. Notably, an intriguing sacrificial altar can also be found here. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this captivating location.

Good to visit if you are in the neighborhood, takes about an hour and a half including the museum if you pass all the sites.
Don’t go in midday as there is almost no to none shade around the walking paths.
The temples are nice to see, however the rest of the ruins not very special. 1 or 2 mozaïks that you can see and the rest just stones

Volo dell'Angelo in Castelmezzano offers an adrenaline-filled experience for thrill-seekers. Also known as the angel flight, this high-speed zip line starts from a hill near the village and connects over the valley with neighboring Pietrapertosa. Despite some challenges with accessibility and limited services, visitors praise the breathtaking views and friendly staff.
Unforgettable experience, but do keep in mind that there’s a long hard walk up to the Castelmezzano platform, as well as a slightly less challenging walk uphill to the Pietrapertosa platform. If you’re up for a gruelling workout, I’m sure you’re not going to regret it.

Very cool and unique experience, too bad for the disastrous connections to get there and the lacking side services, like bars, restourant etc...
.... To answer you reply, my it's not a critic to the experience itself but how everything around it works... I visited in mid August, booking an experience early afternoon, but unfortunately half the restaurant and shop were closed (for holydays or else)... Luckly I had plenty water with me. As for the connections, clearly out of you organization scope, coming from south the road is only doable with a an off-road fit vehicle as besides the high slopes some parts are completely unpaved while coming from down from the north there in only a busy narrow mountain road (also unpaved) used by buses and other heavy vehicles. While the Volo dell'angelo was a great experience, it's really a shame that it's not accompanied by adeguated services and infrastructure...

Highly recommended if you're in Castelmezzano or Pietrapertosa. One of the most beautiful views ever on a Zipline. You can experience ziplines anywhere in the world but it's truly magical here with the views of Castelmezzano and the Lucanian dolomites. Very nice and polite staff, very secure.

The Pertosa-Auletta Grotte is a popular tourist attraction that offers underground tours of fascinating limestone caves and tunnels adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a small boat ride along the cave river. The parking facility in front of the caves makes it convenient for tourists to access them easily. While booking beforehand is recommended, there may be options for on-the-spot availability as well.
Spectacular place to visit, highly recommend.
Audio tours available, ask when you buy tickets.
Can get cold in the grotte, bring a light jacket.
Mostly a walking tour, will need to walk up a hill to get to entrance but it's a beautiful grotte you are sure to enjoy!

Great place, big cave with plenty stalactites and stalagmites.
First part of excursion - cave lake/river, then - walking, something about 1.2 km.
The cave is huge and well lighten, so that's ok even for people with a small claustrophobia :)
irko mai — Google review
Caves are very nice, especially short boat ride. A little bit pricy in my opinion but worth it.
As English speaking tourists we got earpiece with explanation of key points. This was a little bit of a trouble because Italian speaking guide was speaking for several minutes and English recording was 1 minute or less on each of 9 stops, so I presume recordings do not say everything and we were left alone with it. We needed to be a little bit in the end of group because explanation of recordings to the kids was disturbing other Italian speaking tourist.
Some of LEDs were broken and flashing which should not take place.
Group photo taken by the end of tour costs 5 Euros in nearby cafe.

Nice cave with some impressive spaces. Even a little boat ride in the cave river. Parking in the front for€3 very convinient. Usually booking required but when I was there it was not busy so waited for an hour to get a tour of about 2 hours with the guide. Posibile to combine visit to the cave and Padula monastery which is not far but check opening time as they are closed on different days.

The Pertosa-Auletta caves are located in the municipality of Pertosa. The caves consist of a vast complex of karst cavities and develop in the massif of the Alburni Mountains along the left bank of the Tanagro river. to make the visit for a fee it is necessary to make an online reservation. The visit of the caves is guided, the guide proved to be very competent as well as kind and ready to satisfy every question and curiosity of visitors. Part of the route takes place aboard boats along a stretch of the underground river and partly on foot along a path of about one kilometer during which it is possible to admire stalactites and stalagmites of all sizes, the very suggestive underground waterfall. The temperature inside the caves is about 16 degrees so we recommend appropriate clothing. The visit currently takes about an hour and is interesting and pleasant. Outside the caves there is a paid parking area and a picnic area equipped with benches and tables and toilets and snack bars and souvenir shops. Recommended.

Eye-candy!! Beautiful caves, well organized tours of different lengths, by foot and boat. The guides are very good and make the trip a real treat.

Quite expensive for a visit. €20 per person is really too much. The caves are lovely. A little too many different colored lights to create effects. I would have preferred more natural lighting to get a clearer picture of the mineral content of the stalactites. Towards the end of our visit the electricity went out...so there was total darkness. The caves are worth visiting and the guides are friendly and informative.
Maria Mangan — Google review
Don't asume you will enter the cave anytime, better book your visit because there are only a few tours/day, last entrance is around 15:30, opens at 10.00. Just give them a call. 1 TIKET = 10 EURO, PARKING 3EURO CAR, 5EURO- CAMPER

The town square Piazza Tasso showcases a church in Baroque-style and a statue of Sainte Antonino Abbate. Throughout the centuries, this elegant and vibrant square has undergone transformations. Once known as Largo del Castello, it was safeguarded by a wall that was later demolished along with one of the city's entry gates, leaving few remnants behind. Nowadays, the square is enveloped by exquisite buildings in Liberty-style architecture.
The Villa Comunale di Salerno is a lush public park with refreshing shaded walkways, elegant sculptures and the historic Fontana del Tullio dating back to 1790. This delightful garden offers respite from the heat of summer and is a small but stunning oasis in the heart of the city. Visitors can also enjoy water ice, a local specialty similar to Italian granita, available within its grounds just like in Philly or Manyunk.

The Catholic cathedral Cattedrale di Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo e San Gregorio VII is an ornate church with a large bell tower, pipe organ and numerous mosaics, statues and relics dating back to the year 1084. Visitors can also admire the historic landmarks of Salerno such as Castello di Arechi and Lungomare Trieste while learning about the local heritage. The cathedral's atrium is pleasant but its interior lacks impressive features despite Moriah decorations.
Nice feeling. The cathedral is nice but the crypt is stunning. I could have stayed there forever. There was a service going on with singing when I went; it made it even better.

One of the most magnificent cathedrals we have ever seen. Must see if you are anywhere near Salerno. We saw many cathedrals, churches etc while in Italy and this one is at the top of the list. Underground is the tomb of St. Matthew the Apostle which is even more breathtaking than the cathedral. Mosaics every inch.

The Cathedral of Salerno, a sacred sentinel nestled within the heart of the city, stands as a timeless testament to the spiritual heritage of this ancient Italian enclave. Its soaring spires and weathered stones bear witness to centuries of devotion, each stone imbued with the whispers of countless prayers, the echoes of celestial harmonies.
This venerable cathedral, a masterpiece of architectural splendor, is a symphony of styles, a tapestry woven by the hands of time. Its roots stretch back to the 11th century, a majestic blend of Norman and Romanesque influences, with its mighty columns and rounded arches that evoke a sense of solemnity and grace.
As one crosses the threshold of this sacred sanctum, they are greeted by a luminous nave, bathed in the ethereal glow of stained glass windows that dance with the hues of a thousand sunsets. The flickering candlelight casts flickering shadows upon the ancient frescoes that adorn the walls, each brushstroke a testament to the devotion of artists who sought to capture the divine in pigment and canvas.
Above, a soaring vaulted ceiling seems to touch the heavens, its intricate ribbed patterns resembling the very fingers of angels reaching down to caress the faithful below. A sense of awe envelops those who stand beneath this celestial canopy, a reminder of the divine majesty that has inspired countless souls through the ages.
Within the hallowed depths of the cathedral lies a treasury of relics and sacred artifacts, each a fragment of the city's storied past, each a link to the eternal. Pilgrims and seekers of solace alike come to kneel before these sacred relics, their whispered prayers ascending like incense to the heavens.
And so, the Cathedral of Salerno endures, a living testament to faith and artistry, a beacon of hope in a world ever-changing. It is a place where time itself seems to stand still, where the mortal and the divine converge in a timeless dance of devotion and grace.

Somebody else mentioned it is free to visit but it definitely was not when we went unless the fee was misleading and was only meant for the other two sites, the museum of the diocese and the smaller church nearby. The entry for all 3 sites cost 10 Euro for adults and 6 Euro for children. As others mentioned, the crypt of the cathedral is stunning and well worth seeing. The church nearby is very ornate but small. I could have skipped that as I have found the museum more interesting.

This church is definitely a hidden gem in this busy and materialism metro.
It is completely open to the public. Its rich history is embedded in the chapels. And the statues weather there in the courtyard or inside of the cathedral.
It's breathtaking to walk down the aisle or sit at the per bench. There is no one hovering overyou when you walk around, sit down, or touch the history to feel the life from the subjects there on display.
Make sure you read all the displays and check out each chapel. A good one hour stop is definitely worthwhile.

I totally agree that any archaic paintings take money to preserve and maintain. But a regional duomo that charges €10 and bundles with other insignificant (yeah, that’s the word, because there are many things to see in the world) buildings? I’ll spend time on the beautiful ocean instead.

This is an incredibly beautiful and characterful cathedral worth visiting if you’re in Salerno. It was a Sunday when we visited and the morning mass was finishing so we entered for free. The courtyard is picturesque with some old statues and the bell tower above. The inside of the cathedral is strikingly white with a painted dome which is quite a nice contrast. It’s filled with natural light so it’s worth a stop to spend some time.
Suggested! Have a nice trip over here. It's magical. You can have a tour spending 2,50€ each person and you can enjoy the natural path through the waterfalls to the big one. There are some wooden bridges in order to cross the rivers and reach the big waterfall at the end of the trip. There's a nice big parking area for vehicles and a picnic area with services.

The walk up to the cascade is quite short and nicely to walk for everyone, also for kids. Only difficult thing you should be aware of: Don't follow Google maps, but the signs to Valle della Caccia, since you have to purchase the biglietti a few km away from the entrance!

Another good value attraction at €2.50. The walk would be a little bit difficult for those who find walking. It's not an attraction for those in wheelchairs. All the same we thought it was well worth the money.

Great place to enjoy nature. There’s a 30 minutes walk through trees (walking slowly takes around 1 hour)

Beautiful location with a magnificent waterfall at the top. Tickets must be bought from the information office in Senerchia first. €3 for adults and older children, young children are free. Parking is available on site for €3 and must also be purchased at the information office.

Great experience, kids are happy with the waterfall. Quite environmental is very suitable for this hot summer, we felt peaceful there.
The Catholic cathedral, built in the late 19th century, boasts a stunning interior with vaulted ceilings adorned with extravagant artwork. Despite its relatively young age of just a century old, it has become legendary due to tales of miraculous events among pilgrims and worshippers who visit it. The painting of Lady of the Rosary is its main attraction but there are other notable art pieces as well. The sanctuary is located in a charming square and is highly recommended for an evening stroll after dinner.
Absolutely beautiful especially the children's singing Mass. The view inside is fantastic. Beautifully light up on the night. Won't post the inside as I suggest you visit to see the beauty and amazing inside

The Santuario of the Madonna di Pompei in Naples, Italy, is a truly memorable experience. The expansive parking area made it convenient for me to explore the sanctuary without hassle. The Gothic structure is beautiful, and as you enter the Church, you’re surrounded by a serene and spiritual atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see numerous devotees praying the rosary with utmost devotion to the famous iconic miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Their peaceful presence added to the overall religious ambiance of the place.
One of the fascinating aspects of the Santuario of the Madonna di Pompei is the numerous miracles attributed to the Madonna. It was awe-inspiring to see the stories and testimonials of people who claimed to have experienced divine intervention and witnessed miracles in their lives. These miraculous accounts added a sense of wonder and deepened my appreciation for the spiritual significance of this place.
I would highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone seeking a spiritual retreat or a place for quiet contemplation. Not far from the sanctuary are beautiful boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

Stopped in Pompei en route to The Amalfi Coast. So glad we did as we enjoyed ice cream in the square and took in the spectacular views of Mount Vesuvius as well as taking in the atmosphere around the Church. Fantastic experience!!

The most important rosary sanctuary in the world. Magnificent inside and outside.
Don't forget to visit padre Dolindo Ruotolo grave in Napoli. He's the author of "Jesus, you take over" words. Suprisingly, he's not that known by Napolitani.

An absolutely stunning church and a jewel of modern Pompei! A must visit while in the city if only visiting for the ancient ruins! Do. It skip this area of the city, plenty to do in the area as well! But the architecture in this church is beautiful and highly recommended to visit!

After Florence, Venice, Naples and some others, I was churched out. Wow was this refreshing. The marble, the paintings even the organ inside the large dome. One of the most beautiful churches I've ever been too. Tower is closed from 1300 to 1530. The crypt also closes at 1200.

A beautiful and peaceful church in Pompei. It contains some very nice artwork.
Towards the front on the left-hand side is a door that leads to a building that has a museum to Bartolo Longo, a shop and a donation area.
There is, also, a bell tower that has wonderful views. You can go up via the lift or the stairs.

Beautiful cathedral in a really picturesque and welcoming square. One of my favorite spots in all of Pompeii. The church looks especially beautiful in the dusk. I recommend coming by after dinner and strolling through the park. There is some wonderful gelato just across the street as well.

Cascate di San Fele
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Cascate di San Fele is a picturesque natural attraction featuring a network of trails that connect various waterfalls of different heights in hilly, forested terrain. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the trail and admire the scenic beauty of the falls amidst fall foliage. Although some visitors have commented on outdated and unclear signage, there are still plenty of waterfalls to discover in this charming location in Basilicata.
A really beautiful spot in nature, a set of around 7 waterfalls, a couple of which can’t be accessed because of landslide damage. The ones you can visit are just a short walk from the town of San Fele and are really lovely and completely free to enter. The water is cool and clear, some people were swimming but it was too cold for me!

Beautiful spot for a walk in the woods!
We enjoyed a pleasant visit to the falls and viewed some wonderful fall scenery along the way. Some other Italian groups out for the same… made for a great outing!
The signs are pretty old and impossible to read, so no way to “plan” the walk and route. Hence, 4 stars. Otherwise really nice!

Great walk and good number of waterfalls. Signage is not the best if you want to see the ones that are further from the centre.

They are nice to see but if the pathway is wet it's almost impossible to go downstairs

There are 10 small waterfall and most of them is very difficult to reach. The entire circuit is about 9 milles. Is not easy to do. This year it almost don't have water
