Cilento lies just south of the Amalfi Coast in southern Campania near Basilicata, featuring rugged mountains, hill towns, sandy beaches, ancient Greek temples, and peaceful monasteries. A large national park preserves the landscape and the region is the birthplace of the Mediterranean diet. The Cilento Coast includes a string of pretty seaside towns with easier accessibility, green hills with olive groves, vineyards, pinewoods, and authentic fishing villages. The area is known for a laid-back vibe, excellent fresh fish and vegetables, outstanding buffalo mozzarella, and generally lower prices and southern hospitality. Salerno serves as the gateway to the region.
It may not have the cliff-hanging town of Positano, but the Cilento Coast does keep a string of pretty seaside towns that rival the more-famous coastline for its beautiful beaches and easier accessibility,
No heart-pounding road with buses careening at you here; just green hills with olive groves, vineyards and pinewoods, authentic fishing villages, a pleasant laid-back vibe, great food, lower prices, and southern hospitality.
Cilento offers what many travelers hope to find in Amalfi but rarely do anymore: natural beauty, ancient history, and extraordinary food,
The region is reasonably priced, known for its pristine beaches and turquoise sea, and offers some of the freshest fish and vegetables in Italy, as well as the best buffalo mozzarella.
