Within the La Pineta Nature Trail there are several areas equipped for rest and display boards with didactic-explanatory contents. The path is well maintained and develops within the dense Palinuro pine forest.

Today we continued to struggle with the cold. So we went by car to the parking lot at the Palinuro port. There is a café there and this is also where the hiking trail over the hills of Capo Palinuro starts. It goes up stony and impassable paths but you will be rewarded with an incredibly great view.
