Made in rocks with its picturesque cities, dramatic rocky coast, and glamorous resorts, Amalfi coast Spotlight goes to steal, but is located to the south south, which is a region filled with rugged beauty within the southern part of the Basilicate -border Campania region. For a large national park filled with mountains and mountainous cities, Cilento covers sandy beaches, amazing ancient Greek temples and peaceful monasteries. It is also the birthplace of the Mediterranean diet.
As International LivingCilento is an option for Amalfi coast. “It may not be a rock-rock city of Positano, but the Salento coast holds a string of beautiful seaside cities that rival the more famous beach for its beautiful beaches and easy access,” Valery fortni-shineerAn international living contributor, told Travel + holiday“No heart-pound road with you careful buses; buses, olive trees, vineyard and pinewoods, authentic fishing villages, a pleasant laid-rated-back-vibe, great food, low prices and green hills with southern hospitality.”
Art historians and travel experts Daniel oteriThe one who organizes the trips to Cilento, where his family comes, calls it “a paradise to a paradise” and encourages travelers who want to see more Italy’s more kept-back, authentic parts to travel.
“Cilento offers that many passengers expect to find in Amalfi, but rarely do: natural beauty, ancient history and extraordinary food,” he said Travel + holiday“The region has a reasonable price, known for its ancient beaches and turquoise seas, and also offers the best Buffalo Mozerela with some fresh fish and vegetables in Italy.”
Cilento’s entrance (although not technically part of it) is Saleno, a port city at the southern end of the Amalfi coast. Often compared to a small version of NaplesSaleno also has a hill topography. Its historical center is a waron of line-rolled stone roads with shops, restaurants and bars.

From there, within just an hour, the beginning of the Silanto starts. The house for incredibly well -conserved Greek temples, pesms is also interesting for the hobbyists of history fascinated by World War II. It was on the beaches between Salearno and the pastem that American soldiers were first known as an operation of operation in a bloody battle on Italian mainland in 1943.

We also made a stop Tenuta vannuloThe most famous dairy farm in the region, where we saw historical agricultural equipment in the Museum of Farming Culture. Thanks to Buffalo in this part of Italy several centuries ago, Cilento is known to produce some of Italy’s best Buffalo Milk Mozerela. In Tenuta Vanulo, you can take a sample of delicious yogurt, gilate and other dairy products. (If you want to buy some of their mozerela, you have to order it in advance.)
In addition to the pastem, Oterrey recommended time to spend time in towns such as the medieval villages of Agropoli, which is crowned by the 15th -century Spanish palace; Tantinara, a east city in the mountains, which was recently revived; Castellabate, which has sandy beaches and beautiful views of the cilento coast from the upper part of the city; Capaccio, where you can travel hiking and forgings for truffles; Pisciotta, a vertical village that sees the sea, which she compares with Positano; Marina de Camerota, a fishing village where you can go on a boat and see how fishermen catch fish by night; And Palinuro, which has a blue grotto which is larger and less crowded than one Kapri,
According to Otry, the Amalfi coast is still a place to go if you want to feel like a film star and a quintage resort experience, but if you search for coastal villages, which remain authentic, eat delicious food, delays culture, and reach the sandal beaches for your amount on Amalfi coast. “In your small mountain villages, you will find excellent restaurants and wine times, as well as a lot of opportunities to share space with Italians who live there and give leave there,” he said.
