Highlights
  • Palinuro Porto - We will leave from the port of Palinuro, a unique port of its kind as it is only partially closed; this allows you to have clear and crystalline waters.
  • Ficocella Beach - The central beach of Capo Palinuro.
    One of the most fascinating of the whole coast!
  • Località Saline - Beach that hosted the Club Med around the 80s.
    It owes its name to the natural pools which in the past were used to obtain salt to bring to the entire population.
  • Grotta Azzurra - Escursione in barca - Thanks to the underwater tunnel inside the cave it will be possible to witness a unique play of colors in the world!
  • Capo Palinuro Faro - If we calculate the meters above sea level it is the tallest lighthouse in the world; positioned overhanging a breathtaking scenery.
  • Torre Cala Fetente - In this stretch of coast we will find several watchtowers from the Bourbon era, the sulphurous cave and the architiello.
    Called cala Fetente due to the strong presence of sulfur which determines a characteristic smell and multiple benefits for your skin.
    Here we will stop for a swim.

  • Baia del Buon Dormire - One of the most beautiful beaches in Italy according to Legambiente and the Touring Club.
    Stopping in this corner of paradise is a must.
    Bring your mask and fins!
  • Spiaggia della Marinella - A natural oasis immersed in the Cilento flora.
    One of the symbols of our coast!
  • Spiaggia della Molpa - This beach owes its name to the cliff that overlooks it.
    Spot appreciated worldwide for climbing lovers.
  • Arco Naturale di Palinuro - Born thanks to the erosion of the wind and rain on the rock face.

A lovely day - This was a fabulous day. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, and the scenery was unbelievable! We visited the grottos, gazed at the cliffs, and swam in the crystal clear waters. Heartily recommend this tour to anyone who loves the water, interesting geology, and a relaxing day.

UNFORGETTABLE 💙 - Palinuro seen from the sea with Cilento Coast Company was an unforgettable experience. Everything was perfect starting from the excellent shuttle service: the very nice Emil picked us up and then took us back directly to the accommodation, new cars, clean and with air conditioning. To then get to the heart of the boat excursion with a competent Antonio who introduced us from the sea to the myth of Palinuro and everything that this beautiful stretch of coast offers. Everything took place without any rush, with long swimming breaks and in excellent company, without overcrowding boats and indeed with a small and perfect circle. Absolutely worth doing! Blue Palinuro in 💙 A thousand thanks
