Landed at Salerno Airport? Five Cilento Places Within Easy Reach

The Salerno–Costa d’Amalfi airport has quietly become the easiest way to land on the doorstep of the Cilento. Step off the plane, meet your driver, and within the hour you can be somewhere wonderful. Here are the five places our transfer guests ask for most — and why each is worth the ride.

Santa Maria di Castellabate

One of the pearls of the Cilento: crystal-clear beaches, a medieval village stacked above the sea, and a seafront made for slow evening walks. Swim, wander up to the Castello dell’Abate, and stay for dinner — you won’t want to leave.

Agropoli

The gateway to the Cilento. An old town of narrow lanes climbing to an Aragonese castle, sweeping views over the bay, and a lively marina below. It also makes a perfect base for exploring the beaches and villages nearby.

Paestum and its temples

No arrival in the Cilento is complete without standing in front of the Temple of Neptune. The Greek temples of Paestum are among the best preserved anywhere on Earth — we’ve written about why sunset is the moment to see them.

Sapri

At the far southern tip of the Cilento, Sapri is for travellers who want the sea without the crowds: a charming little port, limpid water, and the unhurried rhythm of a real working town.

Acciaroli

A picture-perfect fishing village with a Hemingway legend attached (the locals will happily tell you the story), famous for its beaches, its centenarians, and its evening passeggiata along the harbour.

Professional drivers who know every curve of the territory, comfortable cars, and no stress between the runway and your first swim.
