Hiking tip: Directly from the house you may hike to the medieval mountain village of San Giovanni à Piro. The dreamy coastal village of Scario is the jewel at the southern-most end of the Cilento. The ancient Greeks were already drawn to Scario by its unique site and the mild climate (Greek: Skariòs). The authentic fishing village touches the maritime wildlife park Infreschi – which reaches up to Marina di Camerota – on the one side. Boats (information: “Bar Toni”) take you to the many picturesque bays of the maritime wildlife park within a few minutes. On the other side, Scario lies on the edge of the Gulf of Policastro. You will enjoy the amazing panoramic view into the wide bay of the Gulf and towards the mountains of Basilicata and Calabria, which seem to rise directly from the sea. On days of clear visibility you are able to see the famous statue of Christ in Maratea. The beautiful church with its separate bell tower – a campanile – is to be found on the main piazza of Scario.
