About

An 112-km spiritual route through Cilento National Park, the Cammino di San Nilo traces the footsteps of Saint Nilus of Rossano. From Sapri’s coastal charm to Caselle in Pittari, hikers navigate rugged gorges and ancient hilltop villages like Tortorella and Montano Antilia. Elevation gain? A staggering 11,184 meters. The air is rich with wild thyme and the sound of rustling leaves. Eight stages await, accessible year-round, but April to June and September to October are ideal. Each step is a journey through history, nature, and self-discovery.
