THE WAY OF ST. NILO

The Way of St. Nilus
This is a fascinating itinerary of more than 100 km, divided into 8 stages, that accompanies the walker through the picturesque region of lower Cilento to discover the history of the Byzantine saints who inhabited it, first and foremost Nilo da Rossano, starting from Sapri and arriving as far as Palinuro.
We will walk the first three days from Sapri to Morigerati for a total of 35 km.
The itinerary alternates between ascents and descents among mountain beech forests and Mediterranean scrub holm oaks and olive trees, with picturesque medieval settlements emerging along the way.
In fact, the Cilento villages, where time seems to pass more slowly, deserve to be visited at a leisurely pace, in close contact with the inhabitants: it means immersing oneself in local customs, from the alleys to the central village square, from the sound of the church bell tower to encounters with shepherds and farmers

TO SEE:
Church of San Fantino
Venus' Hair Waterfall
Village of Tortorella
WWF Morigerati Oasis

TOUR PROGRAM:

Day 1 SAPRI - TORRACA
Morning arrival in Sapri. Meet with the guide at the Sapri waterfront at 9:45 am. Activities start at 10 am.
The route rich in history and architectural beauty. Walk through the streets, admiring the majestic historic buildings to Piazza Plebiscito, where the magnificent Mother Church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception stands out.
Taking the path that will take you to Torraca, enjoy the spectacular panorama that opens up before you, with the bay of Sapri gradually giving way to the striking Gulf of Policastro, dominated by the majestic peaks of Mounts Ceraso and Bulgheria.
Before reaching Torraca, explore the remains of the ancient Church of San Fantino, evidence of the historical presence of the master monk of San Nilo.
Packed lunch provided by participants. Following accommodation at the facility. Dinner at a restaurant.

Day 2 TORRACA-CASALETTO SPARTANO
Breakfast at the facility, departure for San Mauro Cilento. Appointment with the guide to resume the walk.
This is the stage with the highest overall elevation gain, and it is tiring especially in the first and longest ascent that leads to the maximum altitude of 814 m.
On the other hand, the panorama one can enjoy is extraordinary, just as extraordinary is the landscape that crosses Le Caselle di Tortorella, and then arrives in the hamlet of Battaglia.
Before reaching the center of Casaletto, the Way of St. Nilus reaches the picturesque location of the "Hairs of Venus," a jewel of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park.

Day 3 CASALETTO SPARTANO-MORIGERATI
The third stage is certainly among the most spectacular of the entire San Nilo Trail, with several elevation changes that make it tiring especially for those used to walking in flat areas.Here it is possible to visit the beautiful village and then descend to the Rio Gerdenaso, a tributary of the Bussentino, and then enter the Farneto forest. A medieval bridge, still well preserved, marks the last stretch leading to the main square of Morigerati.

Day 4 Morigetrati
Visit to the WWF oasis of Bussento and return to sapri by transfer
