Cannalonga

Cannalonga is a small village whose territory falls within the perimeter of the National Park Cilento and Vallo di Diano. It boasts a strategic position and a healthy climate having behind it the Mount Gelbison (1770 m) and facing the sea of Velia. A small, very ancient Center leaning against the mountain in the heart of the mountainous area of Cilento, overlooking the sea with a natural tourist vocation supported by the many cultural, agri-food and commercial events that follow one another during the year to end with the “Fiera della Frecagnola ”which, every year, hosts tens of thousands of visitors attracted by the richness of the offer and the charm of the places.
The historic center was built around the ancient noble structures in the shape of a cross and preserves the ancient charm of suggestive alleys and ancient portals.
Behind the ancient village there are chestnut and oak woods (near which were found archaeological finds from the Paleolithic period), and the pristine beech forest that extends to over 1000 meters above sea level.
The town also boasts two beautiful floodgates: the "Lago Carmine", which extends between two hills covered with Mediterranean scrub, and the small "Nocellito", a clear mirror of water surrounded by a centuries-old chestnut grove.
