and Nature
Cilento is located in
Campania Region has all the ingredients that visitors to Italy look for:
beaches and seaside activities
a national park under the protection of Unesco
spectacular coastal and inland panoramas
history, traditions, culture
great wine, food and the Mediterranean diet
Greek colonizers landed
along the coasts of Cilento in the 7th century BC and founded
Poseidonia (the Roman Paestum). Of major interest are: The Excavations and the Museum of Paestum surrounded by well-kept
Roman walls which are 5 km long. It includes the three famous and imposing
Doric temples of the VI and V century BC, and the Archeological Museum which
houses the precious fresco of The Diver.
Velia is the Roman name for the
ancient Greek town of Helea, founded circa 540 BC. Archeological excavations
have gradually unveiled the remains of this town, the amphitheater and Porta
Rosa (Pink Door). The sanctuary of Hera
Argiva, located at the mouth of the Sele river, is hidden amongst
vegetation. The foundation of this temple was attributed to Jason, the
mythological husband of Medea and his Argonauts. A Virtual Museum examines
these fascinating aspects of the past.

Hills and Mountain
landscapes follow each other, often showing vestiges of man`s ancient presence;
among many of these are the Pertosa grottoes where shepherds used to shear
their flocks, or the sculpture of the warrior of Antece on the Alburni rock.
Agropoli is the largest town in
Cilento with highway, rail and sea connections as well the point of reference
for shopping and night life. Set between the sea and the Cilento
green hills, 10 km south of Paestum, Agropoli is the natural gateway to the
Cilento Coast and the protected area of the Parco Nazionale del Cilento e del
Vallo Di Diano.
Agropoli Harbor is home port to a wide range of craft,
from sailboats to the typical Mediterranean gozzo, available for cruising along
the Cilento and Amalfi Coasts. In addition, various nautical exhibitions
and contests are held by the local section of the Nautical League and the
Agropoli Rowing Club.
Lower Cilento is the
territory delimited by the watersheds of the rivers Bussento, Lambro and Mingardo.
Its territory extends toward the coast up to Cape Palinuro and the Gulf of
Policastro and is made up of small villages. Major points of interest in Lower

medieval village at the entry point to Lower Cilento, founded in the XI century
to garrison the Mingardo valley.
Roccagloriosa behind the
Capitenali Mountains, and overlooking the middle course of the Mingardo, this
archaeological site and village was founded in the V century BC by the
Lucanians.
