Let yourself be carried away by the uniqueness of these physical places and without realizing it you will have arrived in an imaginary place, "Arcadia." I will gladly help you discover this idyllic corner of Campania. Telling the Cilento through the myth of Arcadia means immersing yourself in a land with ancient, wrinkled features that is reflected in the faces of its people sculpted by sun and sweat. This wild and unspoiled land is marked by the historical and archaeological memories of Magna Graecia. Western civilization also passes through this land, which gave birth to the great philosopher Parmenides, founder of the Eleatic medical-philosophical school, and to Zeno his disciple, whose antinomies still constitute today, the foundations of contemporary scientific thought. Cilento is also a land of medieval villages, crumbling castles, coastal towers emblems of medieval life and Saracen raids, and in the background, however, the sea that in its immensity seems to want to erase all traces of a glorious past. UNESCO has declared the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park an outstanding example of the relationship between man and the natural environment in the Mediterranean from the Middle Paleolithic to the present day, enshrining this paradise in the list of World Heritage sites and including it in the world network of biosphere reserves of the Mab program.
