Scauri / Mount of Scauri Regional Park area Seaside town sourranded by the mountains of the Aurunci Regional Park (highest peak 1535 m high). In Scauri the most appreciated thing by tourists is the sea side, with the 5 kms promenade within two hills. I found a special place the Gianola and Mount of Scauri Regional Park: I have worked there as a ranger and still as a tourist every time I could find it a great place to energize, relax, enjoy wilderness and... swim in the sea.
