Walking & Trekking
Trekking on the Cilento Coast, to the Bay of Infreschi, a
seaside paradise
- National Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano -
The Bay of Infreschi, or Port, is a
beautiful natural harbor with crystal clear waters located
in the extreme south of the Gulf of Policastro, in Cilento.
It owes its name to the nearby fresh waters flowing into
the sea. In the past, fishermen used the caves to keep cool
the fish.
Here nature is still unspoilt and it is a protected marine
area. The white sand beach is dominated by rocky cliffs and
the sea has shades from turquoise to emerald with sandy bottoms
and sloping, ideal for snorkeling. Here you will trek and
hike in the Mediterranean bush among gorse, rosemary, carob
trees and prickly pears.
The trekking route from Marina di Camerota to the Bay of
Infreschi offers spectacular views on this coast of Cilento
and Vallo di Diano national Park. We recommend starting from
the picturesque beach of Lentiscelle: from the heights of
this trekking route behind the Mount Luna and along the Mount
Serra and Valamonte Valley, you can enjoy breathtaking views
of the Cala Fortuna and Cala Bianca beaches, which are accessible
only by sea.
The route can be done in about three and a half hours and
do not forget water, sunscreen and hat, as well as comfortable
shoes.
