Overview

Explore the beautiful sights and sounds of the Cilento National Park by bike. 

This 8-day trip consists of 6 medium-length legs between 20 and 50 km, so you'll have plenty of time to take pictures and relax during and after your daily exercise. It is designed specially for bicycle enthusiasts who like to slow down on their holidays and take their time to stop for a beautiful view or talk to the locals.

You can bring your own bike with you, or opt for a high-quality rental touring bike, either classic or e-bike. If you want to travel light, we can arrange daily baggage transport while you bike.

You can choose to make your own way to the starting point, based on our detailed instructions and tips. If you are choosing to rent a bike, we can arrange private transport from and to Naples or Salerno Airport.

You will be staying in boutique hotels or agriturismi along the route so that you can start your next day well-rested. Your hosts will welcome you as only South Italians can. Your stay includes breakfast and an evening meal. If you want to add a packed lunch to that, we're happy to arrange it for you.

Want to stay a couple of days longer to enjoy the beach or mountains? Let us know after you've completed your booking, and we will customize your booking with no extra booking charges.

The best period for this trip is anywhere from March to mid-June and from September to late November.

FAQ

What type of clothes should I pack?
Make sure you are dressed for both sunny and rainy days. A light-weight set of raincoat + rain trousers is highly recommended. We recommend using fabric types that do not absorb humidity. Rather than using for example cotton, consider technical fabrics made for outdoor and sports activities. For comfort, use shoes that have a rigid sole rather than soft sole shoes. In case you suffer saddle pains, we recommend using padded bike shorts.
What kind of weather can I expect?
The Cilento National Park is very big and has different weather types depending on whether you are at the seaside or inland. Inland tends to be a bit fresher and more humid, whereas the coastal towns tend to have drier and warmer weather. Temperatures during the recommended travel periods in spring and autumn are in the mid-twenties Celsius, with chance of showers. The most reliable source for rainfall prediction is the military meteorological service "Aeronautica Militare" (mobile app available on all main platforms).
I don't speak Italian. Do people speak English there?
The short answer is: unlikely. However, most locals are utterly charming and will do whatever they can to bridge the gap. Whether it be through gestures or translation apps on their mobiles, they will make the effort to understand you and make themselves understood.
