All the effort of the climb is amply rewarded by the crazy panorama of this road. We climb with gentle hairpin bends that allow us to admire the landscape and the sea that gradually recedes. Not to be missed!!

Always along the coastal road (SS18)! Wonderful section even if it is a road. The traffic was limited.

June 6, 2025,Day 4 - Palinuro - Maratea

Day 4 - And here I am halfway through the itinerary that will take me to Reggio di Calabria.
Today I leave Cilento and Campania to officially enter Basilicata.
Today too the climbs were felt but not as much as yesterday. Here, I have to accept it, it's like this... but little by little everything gets done.
After crossing Marina …

A lot of climbing today with unfortunately few nice descents (super steep on bad road surface). All that with a strong cold north wind, also some road closures, which I just messed around on a hunch (with the risk that you can cycle back for kilometers 😬). All in all a pretty tough day 🤪
