The Cilento is a great destination for holidays, for both those who love the sea and those who love nature.
The Cilento is located in the province of Salerno, in the southern part of Campania. The area stretches along the Tyrrhenian coast, covering a region that starts from Agropoli in the north to Sapri in the south, extending inland to the majestic mountains of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni National Park. The park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covers an area of over 181,000 hectares and is the second-largest national park in Italy.
This corner of Italy offers an incredible variety of landscapes: from beaches awarded the prestigious Blue Flag to mountain peaks exceeding 1,700 meters, such as Monte Gelbison and Monte Cervati. Its strategic position, between the sea and the mountains, makes it an ideal destination for those who love to combine relaxation by the sea, nature excursions, and the discovery of historic villages.
Cilento boasts a millennia-old history, with significant archaeological sites such as Paestum, famous for its perfectly preserved Greek temples, and Velia, an ancient city of Magna Graecia that hosted the renowned Eleatic School of philosophy. Beyond its historical and cultural heritage, Cilento is renowned for its culinary traditions, embodying the principles of the Mediterranean Diet, also recognized by UNESCO.
With its more than 100 villages scattered between the coast and the hinterland, Cilento is a destination that offers authentic experiences, far from mass tourism, ideal for those seeking a unique mix of nature, culture, and traditions.
