October 14, 2024, Rundwanderung am Capo Palinuro

Luckily, we had already planned an extra day in Palinuro in advance, which we used in the morning to go on a spectacular circular walk over the cliffs through the coastal vegetation with great views of the rocks and the sea. This tour is not to be missed! In the afternoon, we took a boat trip to the Blue Grotto and the Arco Naturale to see the rocks from below - also highly recommended!
