Like Paestum, an ancient city of Magna Graecia, originally called Poseidonia by the founders. Or Capo Palinuro, famous for its scenic beauty and for the presence of both emerged and submerged caves.

Paestum

Magna Graecia emerges from the ruins of Paestum, an ancient city once called Poseidonia. Its extension can still be recognized today, collected within its Greek walls, subsequently modified in the Lucanian and Roman times. Here there is an interesting archaeological museum that preserves some finds from the Greek era, such as furnishings and urns. It is located in the province of Salerno, about 30 km south of the city, and is a fraction of the municipality of Capaccio. Besides being a place of great historical interest, it is also famous for its magnificent beaches. It extends in the Piana del Sele, near the coast, north of the Cilento National Park, Vallo di Diano and Alburni.

Agropoli

At the western gates of the Cilento National Park, there is an important center of Cilento: Agropoli. A very characteristic town, it is divided in part "high", hilly, and part "low", with beaches, lidos and an enchanting promenade. Located at the southern end of the Gulf of Salerno, it is located on the Sele plain.

Palinuro

Not far from the mouths of the Lambro and Mingardo rivers, we find the famous Palinuro lying on the small peninsula of the homonymous promontory. Capo Palinuro is one of the most famous places in the area, famous for its scenic beauty, its naturalistic features and for the presence of both emerged caves, which can be easily visited by boat, and submarines, for which it is necessary to be expert divers.

Capri

Unquestionable Capri, a very famous island frequented today as in the past by the jet-set from all over the world. Its wild beauty has a steep and jagged coast, enriched by the stacks and countless caves, including the famous Blue Grotto, indissolubly linked to the history of the island.

Ischia

Also known as the Green Island, Ischia is one of the most famous islands in the Gulf of Naples. Breathtaking coasts, pristine landscapes and crystal clear sea have played a fundamental role in its fame. But its greatest fortune are the numerous thermal springs, a legacy of its volcanic nature.

Acciaroli

Acciaroli is a seaside village of tourist interest, belonging to the Municipality of Pollica and remembered for the numerous stays of Ernest Hemingway. Overlooking the sea stands the church of the Annunziata, built in 1187, while nearby are the remains of an ancient Angevin defense tower, with a square base. The town of Pollica, the municipal seat, is located in a very panoramic place: here the medieval castle of 1290 and the chapel of S. Pietro of 1524 are remarkable. Just outside the town stands the convent of Maria SS. delle Grazie, of the friars minor, of 1611.

Velia

Velia / Elea is an important archaeological site in Cilento, founded around 540 BC by settlers from the mountains. At the time of the Greeks it was called Elea, while the Romans renamed it Velia as Pliny wrote in the Naturalis Historia. The city, formerly a colony of Marseille, remained a tenacious guardian of Hellenism, continuing to use the Greek language even in the imperial age; he was also famous for the Eleatic philosophical school. Today the excavations of the ancient city can be observed, begun by Amedeo Maiuri in 1921 and then continued in the fifties and sixties. Among other things, the remains of the city gates (Porta Rosa and Porta Marina), of a thermal building, the acropolis, the agora and the sanctuary of Poseidon Asphaleios can be observed.

Pertosa Caves - Auletta

The Pertosa-Auletta Caves are the only speleological site in Europe where it is possible to navigate on an underground river, penetrating towards the heart of the mountain. The Negro river rises in depth and offers you a fascinating and unusual boat trip, immersed in a magical silence, interrupted only by the roar of the downpours of the underground waterfall. The caves extend for about three thousand meters in the massif of the Alburni Mountains, in a path full of concretions, where stalactites and stalagmites decorate every space with different shapes, colors and sizes, arousing amazement and emotion. The guided tour includes a journey of over a kilometer, with 400 meters to be covered by boat sailing on the underground river, to reach the internal waterfall and visit the Hall of Paradise, and then continue on the northern branch discovering the majesty of the Great Hall, the peculiarities of the Sala delle Spongne and the charm of the Arm of Wonders.

Charterhouse of San Lorenzo - Padula

The Charterhouse of S. Lorenzo, also known as the Charterhouse of Padula, is certainly one of the most beautiful places in the province of Salerno. The architectural style is almost mainly Baroque, in fact there are very few surviving traces of the fourteenth century. The complex has about 350 rooms and occupies an area of 51,500 square meters of which 15,000 are occupied only by the cloister, one of the largest in the world. The Certosa di San Lorenzo, in fact, thanks to its vast extension is second only to the Certosa di Grenoble in France. The birth of Padula dates back to the IX-X century when, after the Saracen raids ceased, the population who had taken refuge in the hills preferred to settle on the hill, near the consular road, where the inhabited center still stands; the Basilian monks contributed to the foundation of the Certosa site. The cloister, built starting in 1583, develops on two levels: below, the portico with the cells of the fathers; above, the gallery with windows used for the weekly walk. During this "exit" the cloister was interrupted and the fathers could communicate and pray together. In 1998 the Charterhouse was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco and in 2002 it was included by the Campania Region in the list of Great Cultural Attractors.

Porto Infreschi

Porto Infreschi is considered the marine jewel of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. Still miraculously immune to human settlements, the natural harbor of the Infreschi is one of the most suggestive sites of the entire coastal Cilento, already used by Roman ships. A corner of paradise at the center of which opens a natural landing, the destination of many yachtsmen during the summer season, protected by rocky banks against which the foaming waves of the sea break. In the waters of this bay, dolphins have often been spotted, attracted by the extraordinary abundance of fish.
