Monte Faiatella, Cilento
Campania
Away from the coastal crowds, Monte Faiatella rises over the inland Cilento village of Petina, its ridge giving a long view down the Tanagro valley toward the Alburni massif. Oak woodland gives way to open pasture near the top, and the trail is quiet even in high season.
