Overview

An eight-day ride that contrasts two faces of Campania: the quiet, well-preserved shores of Cilento and the livelier, cliff-lined Amalfi Coast. Beginning in Palinuro, the route threads coastal lanes and gentle inland climbs around Mount Bulgheria and the Mingardo Canyon, then rolls past olive-growing villages and the Greek sites of Velia and Paestum. Overnights are in three- and four-star, often family-run hotels and one agriturismo, typically with a pool or beach nearby.
