Hotel Marulivo (Pisciotta), for example, is EMAS-certified (Ecomanagement and Audit Scheme). EMAS was developed by the European Union and is a combination of environmental management and environmental statement. Country estate Le Favate (Terradura), including its holiday apartment Casa Matteo, is very pleased to have been commended by the renowned organization Slow Food. The latter has made it its task to preserve and keep alive culinary culture.

“Bandiera Blu” for numerous beaches in the Cilento

Every year, the Cilento scores exceptionally well concerning the ranking of beaches with excellent bathing water quality.
The coveted “Blue Flag” for outstanding water quality is awarded by the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) which bases its choice on very strict criteria. For years, the Cilento has been the top of the list in Campania. Many of its municipalities are allowed to fly the “bandiera blu”.
In 2010, the following towns and their beaches are pleased to have been awarded the Blue Flag: Agropoli, Castellabate, Montecorice (Agnone, Capitello), Pollica (Acciaroli; Pioppi), Casal Velino, Ascea, Pisciotta, Centola (Palinuro), Vibonati (Villammare) und Sapri. Bordering on the southern end of the Cilento, the area around Maratea (Basilikata) also flies the Blue Flag.
