Green and lavender

You will arrive in the afternoon at the village of Morano Calabro, and after settling in at the agritourism, a relaxing walk through the historic centre of the charming village awaits you, to admire its many historical and artistic treasures, such as the San Bernardino complex, the Norman castle, the church of San Pietro e Paolo with its statues by Pietro Bernini, and the Church of the Maddalena with its precious altarpiece by Bartolomeo Vivarini. At the end of the walk, return to the agriturismo to enjoy a dinner of typical Pollino products.

During this day, you will dive into the heart of the Pollino National Park, Italy's largest national park. The tour will begin in the morning: joined by an expert guide, you will be taken to Piano Ruggio, a karst plateau between Calabria and Basilicata, and to the most evocative and breathtaking places in the protected area, as far as the Belvedere del Malvento, from which you can admire the loricate pines, the symbol of the park. A good packed lunch and then we will set off again towards Piano di Campotenese, at 1081 metres above sea level, where we will be able to immerse ourselves in the warm embrace of the Lavender Park, a true oasis of fragrances and nuances: we will stroll unhurriedly among the numerous species of this fragrant and delicate plant, which with its magnificent colours will help us discover a corner of Provence in the deep south of Italy. We will return in the evening to Morano Calabro for a tasty dinner.
