General Information
Our association works at a tourist and cultural level in one of the most beautiful area of Mediterranean Sea. Indeed our coast, one of the first Italian seaside park, has gained a lot of national appreciations, first of all the “Blue Flag” for the natural environment protection. We work together on the local authorities and some associations, such as “Cilentan House of Europe Association”. We cooperate also with the project “Pax in Maribus” about Mediterranean seaside parks. Our partners but also some volunteers work to realize our projects. We are financed by Local Authorities, National Park of Cilento, Mountain Community and some private sponsors
Mission and Objectives

Our first aim is to involve in the “Ulysses Project” the different places of Mediterranean coast, where Ulysses landed on his journey. We want to twin all these places, this year we are going to twin Djerba, in Tunisia, with our country, the land of the Mermaid Leucosia. The myth tells that the Mermaid Leucosia is buried here, on the little homonymous island and since twenty years we have connected to her name the “Leucosia Prize”. This prize is given all men who have made Cilento known in the world or which have reached great results in different fields.

Main Projects / Activities

This year the “Ulysses Project” provides for two phases: the twin with one of the places where Ulysses landed and this place’s knowledge through “the week of the nation”. In this way our society can better knows Mediterranean realities, which we considered above all for their negative aspects, and the foreign societies can better know our country. So we hope giving a little help to free people from those prejudices which do difficult the peace in the Mediterranean Sea. Another project is to twin a Syrian town, under UNESCO’s protection, with Castellabate, protected by UNESCO too.
