The door of Cilento

The door of Cilento The door of Cilento

The beach along the coast line between Eboli and Paestum gradually changes into a welcoming embrace made of coves. Trentova bay is one of them.

We are in Agropoli, in the upper Cilento, land of olive trees, white figs, buffalo mozzarella, natural beauties, shortly after leaving the long road that goes towards Basilicata and Calabria.

Legend has it that thirty gull or sea turtle eggs were found under the large rock overlooking the bay of Trentova. The name Trentova would therefore derive from this finding, since in Italian “trenta” (30) and “Trentova” have the same root. And this story also tells the intimate relationship between this splendid coastal corner and the animal kingdom that populates it. Overlooking the rock, you can enjoy all the beauty of the turquoise sea and the fine gold sand. Colors of a unique intensity, caressed by the gentle undertow of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In spring and autumn, when Trentova perhaps shows its most fascinating face, the beach is full of Posidonia, an indisputable evidence of the cleanliness of this sea. We are in the realm of the Mediterranean vegetation, between scents of wild fennel and salt. Trentova is a place of the soul and remains in the memory: wild but accessible at the same time, it is one of the doors that lead to the blue heart of Cilento. Symbol of the tenacious spirit of the local population, Trentova expresses a beauty that slowly reveals itself, to be discovered without any hurry.

Even more than for nature, Cilento is famous for its slow lifestyle, made up of an everyday life away from traffic and stress, as if the rhythm of the days followed the motion of the waves. A few kilometers from here grow the fig trees and the vineyards of Paestum; the magnificence of Greek temples and the white gold of buffalo mozzarella from Campania.

Arriving on these shores, as travelers who are passionate about places and people, means to immerse yourself completely in another dimension. Get away, with your mind and body, from every frenzy, get in touch with your most authentic being. In short, that in Trentova is not a simple holiday. It is knowledge and discovery, in symbiosis with the most beautiful features of Cilento and Southern Italy.
