SCARIO
"U sapore ru mare vero..."
Small fishing village with a appealing charm.
Door of the Protected Marine Oasis, the most beautiful beaches in Italy.
The Greek colonizers of the 5th century BC called it "Scariòs", "small shipyard"; the Roman triremes came to buy the "garum", the succulent and expensive fish sauce. Holed up with its small jewel-like port in the heart of the Gulf of Policastro.
Delicate watercolor against the background of the dark Mediterranean maquis
Scario has been able to preserve his identity and the dreamy and collected appearance of the seaside village, with the houses of the medlar tree in Verghian memory and a walk of heart-rending nostalgia on the waterfront, among palm trees, oleanders and begonias, where bars, restaurants and bistros welcome guests eager to discover these small enchanted places.
At the Olive Tower, which continues to scrutinize the sea, evoking sad memories of looting raids by pirates and marauders, in Punta degli Infreschi, the mythical port of antiquity, there is a succession of stunning surprises. White and sinuous beaches, rocky bastions that sink into transparent and deep waters, sweet bays, hidden coves, mysterious caves, crevices and cliffs: it is "La Masseta", a corner of legend, a stretch of coast among the most beautiful of Italy and, perhaps, of the world.
A truly delightful intimate glimpse, but adjacent to the nightlife of the waterfront.
You can embark at the small port of Scario, for only 5 euros, reach the beaches of Palinuro and Marina di Camerota with a pleasant trip.
Or directly on the Scario waterfront, our partnered seashore "Simone".

Among the most famous coves we find the Sciabica, Cala Bianca, awarded in 2013 as the most beautiful beach in Italy, the Infreschi Beach also famous for "La Tana del Lupo", where Saverio will delight you with its dishes famous for its genuineness and simplicity, accompanied by the sound of a harmonica that plays cheerful melodies of ancient times. The crystal clear sea of the Cilento makes the area one of the most suggestive of the whole Campania

WWF OASIS OF MORIGERATI
The Oasis is the most important conservation project of the WWF in Italy and represents the concrete intervention in defence of the natural territory and biodiversity. The inhabited center rests on the top of a cliff that dominates the WWF Oasis of the Morigerati Cave, in which you can admire the wonderful resurgences of the River Bussento. It has a nature trail and an equipped area for visiting the caves. The Oasis is above all a safeguard of a territory, protection of biodiversity, maintenance of landscapes and natural values, but not only. The WWF has decided to set up nature trails so that everyone can appreciate and fully enjoy the natural environment in which they move, offering valid stimuli for all the senses. The Bussento River is the fundamental element that characterizes and profoundly marks the territory, constituting one of the most significant phenomena from a landscape-environmental point of view; moreover, the underground part of the Bussento generates one of the most important karst phenomena in Italy.
