December 2008/January 2009 - Cilento, Venice
Cilento: Campania's
Undiscovered Gem
Cilento
is a land of myth and legend, folklore and history …
moonscapes and misty, forest-clad mountains that plunge down to the sea
… long stretches of golden-sand beaches interspersed with
cave-pockmarked cliffs and hidden coves … hilltop villages
with narrow, cobbled alleys, family-run restaurants still using
nonna's recipes..
Where to Eat in Cilento
Cilento's cuisine is based on fresh, seasonal ingredients and
local tradition. Meat dominates inland, while seafood prevails on the
coast.
Where to Stay in Cilento
There
are accommodations of all kinds in this corner of Campania. We profile
everything from an agriturismo
to a beach resort to a former 17th-century hunting lodge used by the
kings of Spain and Italy.
Four Favorite Venice Hotels
When
you want to stay close enough to Piazza
San Marco
to be close to the action but want to avoid touristy hotels, one of
these four establishments might be just what you are seeking.
