Tips from the Community
From the train station up to the historic center, it's quite a climb, but the effort is worthwhile – even if you're not going to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Beautiful streets and squares. There are supposed to be 44 churches, but most of them are probably closed.

A 21-meter-high statue has stood atop Monte San Biagio since 1965. It is considered a landmark of Maratea. However, its erection was controversial among local politicians at the time. Originally, an iron cross stood on this spot, commemorating the defense against Napoleon's troops in 1806. It was later replaced by this statue of Jesus, whose face does not bear the typical features of Jesus, as his hair and beard are short. He looks more like an angel—a savior who points with open arms to the Creator in heaven and with both feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing the acceptance of sinners.

An imposing bronze statue dedicated to the legendary Gleaner of Sapri, the protagonist of Luigi Mercantini's famous poem. It depicts the young peasant girl who, according to the poem, witnessed Carlo Pisacane's ill-fated expedition in 1857. Located on the Sapri seafront, the statue overlooks the Gulf of Policastro and offers a spectacular panoramic view, a symbol of freedom and historical memory.

Among the many natural beauties of Cilento, the Capelli di Venere waterfalls in Casaletto Spartano deserve special mention. The Capelli di Venere waterfalls are among the most beautiful in Campania and are visited from all over Italy. Cilento's most famous waterfall is located within the Capello Oasis. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is formed by the Bussentino, a tributary of the Bussento River. The Capelli di Venere waterfall is a natural spectacle, a union of three elements: the water of the Bussentino flows over the maidenhair fern plant that grows attached to the rock. The Capelli di Venere waterfall has created natural pools in the riverbed where you can even bathe. A dip in the icy waters is a real treat, considering the freezing temperatures even in the middle of August.

Once you reach the area of Christ the Redeemer in Maratea, taking a small road on the left of the path that leads to Christ, you can see what remains of the ancient center of upper Maratea, known as "Castello" due to its appearance as a fortified village.

Once in Vibonati it is nice, especially with a MTB, to leave the main road to go through the entire historic center, very long and beautiful, with several fountains along the way. The direction was uphill, but the opposite direction is probably even more enjoyable.
