Gole del Calore

Campania

Far from the coast, this stretch of the Calore river cuts a steep, forested gorge through the Cilento's limestone interior, a landscape of small hilltop villages and terraced groves. In summer, locals swim in the river's clear pools, and the surrounding hills are known for wild chestnut and fig production.
