Primrose "Primula Palinuri Petagna"
Symbol of the Parco Nazionale del Cilento is the famous Primrose of Palinuro (Primula Palinuri or Palinuri Petagna), a rare endemic species that grows on the coast 50 km long that runs from Palinuro in Maratea, with its characteristic tuft of yellow blooms; it is the only primrose to have chosen a habitat near the sea.
Percorsi consigliati
There are al lot of notable places to visit on the coast between Punta Licosa and Palinuro and Camerota.
In the interior of the territory, the Alburni Mountains are covered by extensive beech woods and pastures with various events such as the karst cave of Castelcivita (a cavity of about 5 km) and the caves of Pertosa, just outside the boundaries of the Park (a cavity very interesting, traveled by inland waters).
The most important point of the Park is Mount Cervati with its 1,898 meters that stands on the Park's flora: olive groves, alder groves and holm oak, beech as well as a rare white spruce fir wood.
And do not forget a dip in antiquity: Paestum!
