I was already in the past with the beaches in the Cilento explained, but the "Scogliera" Ascea requires again a special mention, I think. The Cilento coast is full of deserted coves, you can usually reach only by boat, a number of tour operators offer excursions to these hidden places to swim. Now, those several hours trips only due child appropriate ("Are we there yet?", "I'm bored," I want an ice cream "to name but a few ...) and even more pleasing is that the love Asceaner their hidden swimming holes by a tunnel to reach did. Officially, there are three narrow, just walk walkable tunnels that were dug for the transportation of building materials in the rock - but they still fulfill their purpose.

As of the hostel fathers and mothers in Elios proposed that the expedition will start at the most beautiful sandy beach of the village, the "Scogliera", at just below the ruins of the "Torre del Telegrafo" behind the best fish restaurant space. Access to the tunnel is hidden, you look directly behind the parking lot after the last input (30 m). At best, people dress in a couple of washable slippers, the ground is partly being evil muddy. But worth the effort. After the first 100 m long tunnel is higher than most, the first bay on the opposite end we see already the second tunnel. After this you can climb down (rappelling is not necessary for old people, there is still nothing), or - even taking third in the attack - in good physical condition.

As a reward the effort expect a crystal-clear water and the ability to see the underwater wildlife (do not forget goggles). Against unpleasant encounters with sea urchins helps to wear sandals, they will also take the opportunity once again freed from the mud. Myself enough already, the absence of tourists, here is one that is usually completely undisturbed. And because I wear bathing places inaccessible in principle and I always thought I share this observation a try. Like this service release:
