Costa Cilentana — Acciaroli Walk

Campania

Acciaroli was Hemingway's fishing village on the Cilento coast, inspiring The Old Man and the Sea. The village and surrounding Pioppi are studied for the extraordinary longevity of their inhabitants — the Mediterranean diet research here led to its UNESCO designation. The coastal path above is perfumed with rosemary, oregano and sea.
