Eboli

The cluster sits on the inland side of the Sele plain, with the Monti Picentini and the first Lucanian Apennine reliefs visible in the wider area. The Sele river runs through this part of the province. The nearest coast is the Gulf of Salerno side of the Tyrrhenian, around the Paestum-Battipaglia stretch rather than a rocky headland coast. The Monti Picentini Regional Park begins farther north and east, outside the immediate radius. Eboli is the nearest substantial town and has a full service centre, a hilltop historic quarter and the usual rail and road connections of the Sele valley corridor. This area is known for agriculture on the plain, especially vegetables and buffalo-mozzarella country toward the Sele and Paestum side.
