The charm of Santa Maria di Castellabate: among noble palaces, seaside homes and Blue Flag sea waters.

Santa Maria di Castellabate is a tourist destination on the Tyrrhenian coast of the Cilento region, characterized by its privileged position between Punta Tresino and Punta Licosa. It was one of the first Cilento destinations to be discovered by beach tourism thanks to its beaches, but also its historic center, which is lively and crowded with shops along the main street. A witness to the beauty of the place is the ancient village where it is possible to admire the noble palaces that alternate with the typical fishermen's houses of the fishermen who still dedicate themselves to the fishing of tuna and swordfish. The coast alternates with long sandy coastlines with stretches of cliffs on which the typical Mediterranean vegetation and Aleppo pine forests grow lushly.

Santa Maria di Castellabate is an unmissable holiday destination, with beaches that offer unique landscapes: from the sandy coast to the rocky coves, there is something for everyone. The beaches are well-equipped and the crystal-clear sea has received the prestigious Blue Flag award. An interesting excursion is the one to Punta Pagliarolo, with its sea caves. A must-see is the suggestive Porto "Travierso", known as the Porto delle Gatte, thanks to its illuminated porticoes at night, which look like the yellow eyes of a feline. This structure dating back to the 12th century, wanted by Abbot Simeone, once stored the goods of Cilento exchanged with Cava de' Tirreni and Naples. Walking along the Perrotti or Pepi waterfront, you can admire statues and monuments, as well as enjoy the sea. In the city center, Corso Matrazzo offers shops and a pleasant walk towards Piazza Lucia.
