An absolute marvel! The Syracuse Cathedral is not only a stunning example of Baroque architecture, but also a place where history truly comes alive. Built directly over the ancient Temple of Athena, it still preserves the original Doric columns, seamlessly integrated into the cathedral walls — a breathtaking fusion of ancient Greek and Christian heritage. Located in Ortigia, the historical heart of Syracuse and an island of extraordinary charm, the cathedral stands as a symbol of a city that was once among the greatest in the ancient world. Long before the Roman Empire flourished — when Rome had only around 50,000 inhabitants — Syracuse was already a thriving metropolis with over 300,000 people! The entire island is a scenery of an amazing past, echoing the grandeur of a civilization that shaped the Mediterranean. A must-visit for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to walk through millennia of human achievement.

Unfortunately, the facade of the building was under renovation and we couldn't see it, but even so, the visit was worth it because inside you can see and touch the original ancient Doric columns from the Temple of Athena. It's quite impressive how parts of this place have survived nearly 2500 years and are so well preserved.

The Cathedral of Syracuse (Cattedrale metropolitana della Natività di Maria) was built over the ancient Temple of Athena (Minerva), erected in 480 BC after the victory of Himera. Parts of the original Doric columns are still visible in the structure, a reminder of the great monument that once stood here. While the Baroque architecture is remarkable, the transformation came at the cost of destroying an ancient Greek temple. It is an important historical site, but the loss of the original sanctuary cannot be ignored.

A stunning church with breathtaking architecture and rich history. The intricate details of the interior, combined with the peaceful atmosphere, make it a must-visit. The blend of ancient and baroque influences is mesmerizing, and the stained glass windows are truly beautiful. Whether you're here for spiritual reflection or historical interest, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommend taking a moment to admire its beauty and serenity.

Beautiful Baroque church with a stunning façade and serene interior. One of the chapels offers a peaceful moment of reflection. Free entry and popular with visitors — definitely worth a stop while exploring Ortigia.

Unique. A cathedral construction with ancient Greek pillars from the temple of Athena mixed with 18th century Rococo! Set in a lovely plaza. Sit with a beer in the restaurant opposite the cathedral and watch humanity wonder by.

Absolutely breathtaking. I went in with curiosity, but I left completely speechless. The Syracuse Cathedral took me by surprise in the best possible way. Truly one of the highlights of my visit to Sicily. I highly recommend it!

One of my favourite places on a trip to Sicily. Quaint, wonderful architecture, excellent market with grocery and stalls to eat. Some of the best cheeses and calamari. Wear running shoes and take lots of water. It is hot - little shade. We parked in Syracuse just before the bridge in a parking lot. Well work not driving on the island.

A must do destination if you are in Sicily.... Its got everything, markets, churches, fab food, quaint streets, ruins, friendly people, swim in the sea, lots of shops with local handmade clothes and other items

Ortigia, Sicily is a captivating place to explore—rich in history, charming streets, and stunning landmarks. We visited in May when the weather was pleasantly warm but not too crowded. Sunscreen, a hat, and comfy walking shoes are essential. It felt very safe, and the local Sicilian cuisine is a highlight—fresh, flavourful, and varied. Booking a guided tour is highly recommended to truly appreciate the history and stories behind the key sights. A perfect blend of culture, food, and relaxation.

Love Ortigia! So many interesting stories, so much to see and do and taste. If you are in Sicily you need to out this on the list. Tip: take one of those convertible piaggio tours, perfect to see everything

Ortigia came as a ‘must do’ when on Sicily from one of my Italian colleagues And we weren’t disappointed It’s a charming little place to lose yourself in small alleys or just follow the coastline When crossing on of the bridges from Siracusa, make sure to say hi to Arcimede’s statue. If you use your eyes you can find some artisinal treasures amongst the mass produced tourist junk. There’s no shortage of places to sit and enjoy food and drinks Where Ortigia is reasonably well kept snd efforts are being made to keep it that way, sadly Siracusa itself doesn’t fare as well. Still, a nice place to spend a day The one thing we absolutely didn’t like was the sudden influx of elderly tourists when a huge cruise liner moored.

The old town is a nice size. A leisure walk to see it all

I loved spending a day at Ortigia for its stunning architecture, warm climate, vibrant atmosphere, rich history, and cultural heritage. It is worth to take the side streets. A truly charming and unforgettable place to explore !

This iconic cafe where Godfather 1 was also filmed at is a real must-go if you happen to be staying at the eastern part of Sicily. Great vibe, great food, pastries and coffees. It was a memorable time for me going there

Visiting Bar Vitelli felt like stepping into a slice of film history. This small café-bar in the village of Savoca is famous for being a filming location from The Godfather, and when I walked in, I could almost hear the scene of Michael Corleone asking for Apollonia’s hand. I ordered a simple coffee and sat outside on the small terrace, taking in the rustic charm of the village and the old-world vibe of the bar. The interior is adorned with photographs and memorabilia from the movie set, which definitely adds a nostalgic touch. However, I must say the experience was mixed. The setting is unique and worth it if you’re a film fan or exploring Sicily’s history, but I found the prices surprisingly high for what you get. Some reviewers mention coffees or granitas at elevated prices given the local standard. The atmosphere felt a bit staged—lots of tourists, a sense of “photo stop” more than “local hangout”. In the end, I’m glad I went—just go in with tempered expectations. The charm of Bar Vitelli is in the aura and the memory, not necessarily in gourmet quality or value. If you’re passing through Savoca, it’s a memorable stop; if you’re after the best bar experience in Sicily, you might find better local gems.

Good, authentic Godfather-inspired aesthetic and vibe, although a bit too touristy for my taste (but that's to be expected, so it's not too bad.) I did not particularly enjoy the Italian icy desert whose name I forgot, but that's also on me. Bar is also a bit overpriced. All in all, its worth seeing if you are a fan of Francis Ford Coppola's and Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" movie series.

It's a stunning place and it's really worth to visit but sadly ruined by staff which can be rude and clearly they don't enjoy what they do. Owner (i guess as he was acting like one and gave orders to everyone) guy in the glasses bit grumpy and clearly there for the money. For everyone who watched The Godfather 2 is a must visit but to warn You - it is very expensive up there. Just ice coffee which has no milk and no ice... just cold brewed coffee it's 7 euro!!! As I said place it's authentic but in the wrong hands.

A wonderful place, and for fans of The Godfather it truly has a must-visit. However, I would suggest the owner replace the terrace chairs, as I ended up staining my pants with rust. Considering the prices, I expected everything to be flawless. Also, it would be nice if Antonio, who greets guests at the entrance, welcomed visitors with a warmer smile.

Iconic place to visit. As always with these spots beer s and food are priced accordingly. The atmosphere is the thing you are paying for. Tracing the bits of the godfather that was filmed in and around the village. Savaco This is probably one of my favourite spots we visited, although it’s touristy it’s not to be missed.

Unforgettable experience, really worth visiting. The legendary “Godfather” bar, the Savoca village and the narrow road to get there are a genuine Sicilian “must do”. Try to get a table and enjoy the best Campari Spritz in Sicily to cool down in a hot summer day. Friendly staff, a bit expensive menu, I would definitely recommend.

Lovely place to walk and take in the sights of this lovely city. Reggio Calabria is also working hard to improve the area as can be seen in the plans for future developments. Also a number of great restaurants right by the water. Highly recommend

The Soul of Reggio - A Beautiful Walk with Epic Views. This is an absolutely amazing place for a walk along the sea. The promenade is wide and beautiful, but what makes it truly breathtaking is the stunning view of Mount Etna in the background across the strait to Sicily. The area is clearly the heartbeat of the city and is always buzzing with great energy. During our visit, it seemed like there was always something happening, from a gelato festival to live music, which added to the fantastic atmosphere. My advice is simple: take a long walk, find a good restaurant with a sea view, and just enjoy the incredible sunset and the wonderful vibes. A must-do experience when in Reggio Calabria.

A beautiful landmark with art installations all along the walking sidewalk right on the sea side , facing beautiful Sicily from one side and a remarkable architecture scene from the other side. Historical and rich place to revisit again.

The Lungomare Falcomara in Reggio Calabria is a wonderful place to visit. You can enjoy a relaxing walk along the sea with beautiful views and fresh air. In the evenings, the promenade comes alive — it’s full of people, music, and a lively atmosphere. There are plenty of benches to sit and watch the sunset, as well as cafés and gelaterias nearby. It’s a perfect spot both for a peaceful stroll during the day and for enjoying the vibrant energy of the city at night.

Simply beautiful walk. Look at the sunset pics….

Nice promenade along the seaside with beaches, bars and restaurant at the heart of reggio calabria...

The best place inside the city centre to visit the sea overlooking the island and Mediterranean sea.

Excellent museum! We were 2 of 20 people allowed in the room at a time to see the Riace bronzes! What a luxury compared to incredibly packed museums in Rome! It is a beautiful, clean building with clear directions to take you through all the artifacts. The Riace Bronzes are incredible and it’s hard to comprehend how perfect & how old they are. Worth a visit while in the lovely city of Reggio Calabria

Really worth the visit, particularly enjoyed the smiling figurines on the bottom floor that seemed to be quite typical of the region. Well curated with a chronological structure starting from oldest period on the top floor to earliest, a lot of well preserved artifacts and historical context on these

Very nice museum. Not big, but having impressive two bronze statues from the Greek period in Calabria. Those are two out of totally five survived statues. Manybother interestibg expinats to be seen. You will need about two hours, maximum three, to explore the museum. However worthwike to visit it!

The bronze statues are amazing. Admission is free on the first weekend of the month. It's an interesting place to learn a little about the history of Reggio Calabria.

The museum is very well organised and it’s very welcoming. There’s a lot to learn. The statues are also very beautiful but it was very disappointing to see they’re in a room with white walls and no context whatsoever (contrary to the rest of the museum). Good thing we read about them before visiting because otherwise we wouldn’t know exactly what we were looking for.

Wow! Seriously impressed! Perfectly organized with clear paths to follow, explanations in Italian and perfect English, touch panel with 3D reconstructions, perfect diffused lighting. Very interesting collection from the Neolithic and Greek time, very informative, I discovered brand new facts I didn't know (i.e. there were lead bullets you would throw with your hand during war). Impressed despite I've visited Louvre, El Prado, British museum, Vatican museum etc. An unexpected gem

Really interesting explosion about other bronze statues. I felt really immersed in the atmosphere. Also at some point I was the only visitor in that room, which felt very cool. They even let me to come back to see Bronzi statues up close due to the fact it was closed for investigation and could see only through glass.

The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. The beach is surrounded by picturesque cliffs and offers a breathtaking view of the historic town center and the Santa Maria dell’Isola church.This is an amazing beach. Pretty crowded but all Italian beaches are if they are any good. Water was a little dirty at the shore but once you got out of it it was amazing.The beach is beautiful but be aware it is full of people during peak time.The sea has a bustling color like in the Caribbean. No Garbage and packages in the water. The sand is soft.

A sandy beach with a crystal clear blue sea. If you need some relaxation then the public beach at Tropea will help. It has an amazing backdrop with the old town perched above on the cliffs and the church on top of the rock. There is a beach bar also which sells cold drinks and coffees etc.

The beach in Tropea is undeniably beautiful and the view of the town from the shore is breathtaking. The rock formations are stunning and worth seeing, especially if you can get closer by boat which we did and it was much more enjoyable. However, the sheer number of people can be overwhelming and for me it was just too much. If you don’t mind the crowds you will probably love it but if you prefer peace and space there are plenty of other beaches nearby that are far less crowded. Because of the mass of people my rating is lower which is a shame given how beautiful this place really is.

A really unique beach with soft white sand tucked under the cliffs where the town of Tropea sits. The views are amazing, with dramatic cliffs all around, and there’s even a beach inside a big cave! You’ll see lots of people cliff jumping too. The water near the shore was a bit murky, but once you swim out, it’s crystal clear and beautiful. It can get super crowded during peak times and really hot since there’s not much shade—definitely bring sun protection. Still, it’s a stunning place and totally worth a visit.

The place is amazing! So vivid and so peaceful at the same time. And the water is just perfect, clear and refreshing. The people are very friendly and nice. It’s a great place to be with friends or family, but it’s also a place for a wonderful solo experience. 🥳

Very wonderful place! Beautiful white good beach. Convenient descent to the water. The sea has a bustling color like in the Caribbean. No Garbage and packages in the water. The sand is soft. View on the background of the white cliff and the sea: a great surroundings for unusual photos! In the evening you can see Stromboli volcano! I recommend this beach for all who love silence and clear sea! It is unfortunate, but at 7.30 am on April 7, 2023, part of the island fell ashore into the sea. The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. I hope the local authorities have enough resources to restore and strengthen the coast in this place!

Very populated but great water and view

Very friendly staff and amazing exhibition. Many original artifacts that portray the history of Joachim Murat.

Personnel is incredibly rude. We arrived from another town to visit this castle and unfortunately it was closed from 1 till 3 pm (keep that in mind). We waited and when it finally opened, we couldn't buy tickets because cards were not accepted and the guy didn't have change. He was speaking very unfriendly and refused selling us tickets. After this communication, there was no wish to change and come back. Don't recommend for a visit.

You can find a very good story of Joachim Murat on it , very well illustrated The price is 5€ for adults You can see an amazing view from up there

the tour does not last long but there are several interesting and original (not copies) exhibits. Moreover, the view of the town from the walls is amazing.

Nicely preserved castle with a small museum inside. Definitely worth the entrance fee of 2.50 EUR. Great view over the harbour.

Not worth the 5€ entrance. Most signs were only in Italian with just a few in other languages. There wasn’t much to see except for the prison cells with a few creepy looking mannequins to portray Murat and the other prisoners. Would not recommend

Nice small Castel

Very nice church (5€ entry), nice sculptures, also great beach outside, with warm water and some fishes

Have to give it a 5 star rating just because of the story behind the church and in fact its position on the beach and built into the rocks. It is not your standard church visit but you get these sculptures all in the rocks behind the church facade. Read the story behind the church from the sign, which is In Italian and English, and you will get a better understanding of its history. It is a walk down and up again, so be prepared. It is only a 10 min visit to see it all. There is as an entry charge of 5€, which can be paid by card. It is a small price to pay to ensure it continues to exist. We had no problem parking as we are traveling on bicycles 😀.

Extremely interesting experience. This church - cave is located just next to the beach, so beautiful and magic to be there and hear the waves sounds.

Very interesting story behind this unusual church. Definitely worthy visiting. Impressive.

The current opening hours on Google are not correct. From November till March the church is only open on Saturdays and Sundays (see the attached picture) and only in the good weather. It might be something that's good to know in advance...

If you are in the obscure places to visit this one's for you. Very interesting shrine to the shipwrecked. Look for JFK and apparently Castro within the cast of characters.

Beautiful & very interesting place to visit. Parking at the top for €5 & a stunning view on the way down (lots of steps). I think the entrance fee of €5 per adult (€3 per child) is too much. Don't forget to take your swimming things & picnic with as there is a beautiful bay at the bottom to enjoy!

It's interesting. Sad to see some caged birds cramped up in tiny spaces. Would have liked to have done the walks if we'd had longer. Cafe is average.

Disappointed about the status of the playgrounds, rusty and ruined games. Looks abandoned

Peaceful and relaxing place

Beautiful garden to visit.

Beautiful place to stop for a walk during a road trip! Highly recommend.

Interesting sculptures and vegetation. Didn't like to see the caged birds though. Good restaurant bar.

(Translated by Google) B&B with exquisite hospitality! Very nice rooms of adequate size, cleaned and accommodated every day with Japanese punctuality and dedication.

We did the family rafting route, about an hour-long trip with our 6- and 9-year-old kids. It was a lot of fun—the place and staff were professional, welcoming, and fully equipped with everything needed to get ready. The route was suitable for children. There were a few small rapids that weren’t a problem—on the contrary, they added to the kids' sense of adventure and made it even more enjoyable.

Worth it! As my first experience doing the rafting it was incredibly amazing .Andrea our guide did a great job .the track was plenty of discoveries. Good luck guys The presence of WI-Fi was very pleasant also .

Lao rafting is an amazing experience and i recommend it 100%. The rafting guide Mimmo was very nice person and also Johnny the photographer was also very nice. The views were beautiful and there is a very nice waterfall. It is also very fun and exciting.

Superfun experience to do in a beatiful location. Everything is well organized and the staff is very prepared. Our guide Leandro is such a cool and chill guy. Very reccomended!

We had a wonderful time with Lao Rafting! The staff was very friendly and professional. A cool thing was that they didn't mix the groups, so even if we were two families of three, we got our own boat and guide. We would have loved to do the long one ride, but the shorter one seem more adapted to our 4yo son. He loved the experience! . Next time well go for the long one! We also got the photos they took of us during the ride and I'm glad we did!!

Can’t speak highly enough of this organisation. Francesco and Amy took us on the canyon trip, stunningly gorgeous scenery and exhilarating rafting between steep cliffs, boulders and waterfalls. They paid every attention to safety while telling us all about the history of the gorge and the river as we went along. Calm, professional, supportive and fun people. Loved every minute and well worth the money. Thanks Francesco and Amy!!

Beautiful experience. The canyon is amaźing and we did not expect such a great view. Mefisto is a highly recommended guide. Will come back!

Quite an amazing representation of of The Christ, welcoming all people and leading fishers back to safe shores. Beautiful views of land, sand, and sea. The stories behind the its origins are also fantastic. Parking a short distance away for a short, hilly walk or shuttle ride. Recommend checking hours that 6 shuttle runs.

For the hikers out there. Google maps might recommend you to take the road, but there is a walkable path up there. The path rail is broken in a few places but the path is wide. Scary but somewhat safe (I'm the chicken here, my wife was fine). We crossed a mountain biker coming down.

€1.50 per person to enter paid to the Municipality of Maratea, price includes parking in the car park at the top and join the minibus up to the top. 3min drive. Try to arrive early in the day or late in the afternoon, due to the heat.

Truly amazing experience! It's a must see in Maratea, the views are spectacular. Do go to the town center to have a caffe, pastry, gelato and shopping!

Beautiful place. We took a shuttle bus from Maratea main square which costs €0.60 per person. Worth visiting.

Very recommended at sunset. It’s very colossal and splendid!!! There are also little souvenir shops and a bar if you wanna grasp a drink for enjoying the sunset!!! There is also a little bus that is gonna take you from the parking to it if you don’t want to walk

A challenge to get to but well worth it to view this statue and gor the views it provides of the sea and countryside. You have to mark 1 kM away and then have to take a bus to the statue. The bus is €1.5 and parking is €5.

MUST READ BEFORE DRIVING HERE: Seems like this beach is no longer accessible by car/foot and that you can only swim or take a boat/kayak from the nearby official beach. However, maybe there is another way (other than what Google maps suggests). If you have time time and you feel like trying, continue down the nearby road calledVia Buon Dormire. If you look at the satellite version of Maps you can see this road connects to the road that is blocked by a huge gate. If that's the case, maybe there is still a way down there. I'd you find it - please update the reviews! At the water in front of the beach there are some yachts that arrive here as well, probably because it's more secluded and less accessible. So, if you simply want any beach and are not looking for too many adventures, try the one nearby which also requires a little going down by foot but it has many facilities. I hope it helps 🙏 Enjoy!

Splendid beach! 🏖️ such a clean water and so beautiful.

Amazing place to stay and relax ❤️

(Translated by Google) A long stop during a boat trip along Cape Palinuro... A stunning bay with crystal-clear emerald-green water, surrounded by a breathtaking landscape of lush vegetation and the sculpted mountain ridge. The water in the bay is shallow, allowing for strolls in the water and stunning photos. (Original) Stop lungo durante una gita in barca lungo capo Palinuro… Baia stupenda con acqua cristallina verde smeraldo, contornata da un paesaggio mozzafiato, tra vegetazione e costone scolpito della montagna.

(Translated by Google) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true paradise in the heart of Cilento! The Bay of Good Sleep in Palinuro is one of those places that stays in your heart forever. A hidden and pristine corner, surrounded by lush and wild nature that offers breathtaking views in every direction. The sea is indescribable: crystalline waters ranging from turquoise to deep blue, as clear as a natural pool. Swimming here is a unique experience; it truly feels like being suspended between sea and sky. The beach, with its golden sand and rocks gently sloping into the water, offers an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, far from the chaos and mass tourism. It's the ideal place to relax, sunbathe, and be lulled by the sound of the waves. Reaching it requires a little effort, whether on foot via a path or by sea with a boat, but I assure you it's absolutely worth it. Indeed, this very "difficulty" makes it even more precious, as it manages to retain all its authenticity. I recommend anyone visiting Palinuro not to miss this wonder. It's a place that regenerates the soul, where you can reconnect with the beauty of nature at its most authentic. I will undoubtedly return whenever I have the chance. A 5-star experience, without a doubt! (Original) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un vero paradiso nel cuore del Cilento! La Baia del Buon Dormire a Palinuro è uno di quei posti che ti restano nel cuore per sempre. Un angolo nascosto e incontaminato, circondato da una natura rigogliosa e selvaggia che regala scorci mozzafiato in ogni direzione. Il mare è qualcosa di indescrivibile: acque cristalline che vanno dal turchese al blu intenso, limpide come una piscina naturale. Nuotare qui è un’esperienza unica, sembra davvero di essere sospesi tra cielo e mare. La spiaggia, con la sua sabbia dorata e le rocce che si immergono dolcemente nell’acqua, offre un’atmosfera di pace e tranquillità, lontano dal caos e dal turismo di massa. È il luogo ideale per rilassarsi, prendere il sole e lasciarsi cullare dal suono delle onde. Raggiungerla richiede un piccolo sforzo, che sia a piedi tramite un sentiero o via mare con una barca, ma vi assicuro che ne vale assolutamente la pena. Anzi, proprio questa “difficoltà” la rende ancora più preziosa, perché riesce a mantenere intatta tutta la sua autenticità. Consiglio a chiunque visiti Palinuro di non perdersi questa meraviglia. È un luogo che rigenera l’anima, dove ci si riconnette con la bellezza della natura più autentica. Ci tornerò senza dubbio ogni volta che ne avrò la possibilità. Un’esperienza da 5 stelle, senza alcun dubbio!

Beautiful experience to see the natural waterway and for a hike around the area. Really beautiful nature nestled among the mountains

Such a spactacular site! It is worth to visit if you like mountainous trips and natural beauty. We came here from Marina di Camerota, the western coast of Cilento, and the whole trip was full of breathtaking views.

Beautiful cascade and river. Water pretty cold even in summer. You can take water for drinking here.

Great place to visit. Beautiful waterfall and some nice but challenging hikes nearby. We spent a wonderful day here. There is a drinking water fountain at the start, but swimming is prohibited.

Decided to go and see the falls 74km drive from our B&B. Arrived what was easy to find 3€ the man paid entrance and 100 meters further the really incredible beauty of a waterfall. A place to enjoy in peace with your feet in the icy water and of course take the picture in all positions of the waterfall. also cross the road for the same price to the second waterfall with also unique photos. There is also a walking route of 13.5 km which must be very beautiful but it was too hot for it. Will definitely come back for it.

Very beautiful. Worth the detour. Can get very busy and impossible to get photos without other tourists. There is no path to go further upstream, unfortunately.

Beautiful spot. Worth a detour. We paid 6€ for two adults and three children. Fair price.

The charming port of Acciaroli – a perfect place to stroll and soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful town, one of the most pleasant along the Cilento coast.

If you're a tourist, this is definitely worth a visit. Very cool restos and bars along the harbor quay, some with tables on the boats!

Visited Saturday afternoon in September, nice mix of private & public beaches. Plenty of restaurants & quite chilled/ relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of parking. We found an area near the Port where our dogs could get into the sea away from the main beaches & other people so as not to disturb anyone

Acciaroli is an old marine town, grown around the little sea port. What I've enjoyed most is the walk around the old street, in the hart of the town with little Trees and squares. Everything looks clean and well mantained. Sometime there are some tourist shops, but actually this place is a bit far from tourist streams and people here are mainly local or italian.

Beautiful little port. Nice to just sit and admire the view.

Clean & spectacular port, so far the best in Cilento

Had an interesting short walk there, saw fishermen boats and small yachts.

More than wonderful!! Very preserved, incredible paintings and art all around Certosa. For me, much better than the vatican museum, because besides beatiful it is a quiet and peacefull place.

Awesome monastery in the town of Padula in Salerno province. It's a standing evidence of remarkable architecture. It's huge and spread across thousands of square meter area. It also encompasses a history artifact museum where artifacts from 2nd century B.C. are put on display. These artifacts were discovered from near by areas like sala consilina during excavation around 1950s. The town and the view along with this monastery is also remarkable. The town is located on the downhill and provides a picturesque view when viewed from the bottom of the hill and also the monastery which is located at the bottom of the hill and the beginning of the town. If you are in this region and you are looking for an interesting place to visit, this must be in your list.

Lovely day out in stunning medieval Italian abbey in the countryside. Easy to reach from motorway just 1h south of Salerno. Lots of space to run around for children. Complete of its own little archeological museum with lovely greek and italic artefacts from the region. Trattoria degli ulivi nearby offers a lovely and cheap meal after all the walking around

The Certosa di San Lorenzo is the biggest cartheuse in the world. Inside, you first get introduced to monastery life by a walk through the cellars where you see multiple video sequences explaining everything you need to know. Afterwards, entering the main monastery, you get greeted by the first of three cloisters. Through the church, kitchens, meeting rooms and chapels, it all leads up to the highlight of the visit, the monumental cloister, which is bigger than a football field. Throughout the cartheuse, there are many interesting artworks and stone cuttings for the people who care. Overall, the Certosa is a must visit if you are in the region.

A beautiful place that we visited in about two hours! All spectacular from the quiet cloister, the library with the floor covered with Vietri sul Mare ceramic tiles, the church decorated with precious marble, the large kitchen, the spiral staircase, the Sala delle Campane, of the Chapter and the Treasury, the various Chapels, the largest Cloister in the world with the Carthusian Cells really a marvel !!! Despite its majesty and beauty, the place has lost that mystical and sacred dimension typical of religious places. There is a large outdoor parking cost € 3.00. In the courtyard you can admire the beautiful seventeenth-century façade in Baroque style where there is the ticket office together with the bookshop point, which is usually located at the end of the route. We wanted to buy a little book but finished in Italian language! Besides the fact that it is a unique place and therefore absolutely to visit but it could really does much more!

Carthusian monasteries are of interest to me (due to my job) so obviously I enjoyed the visit but my family loved it too. It's a well preserved example even though the monks are no longer there.

This gem was a great experience, I wish we had more time to visit everything. It deserves s visit even if short on time but plan at least 2 or 3 hours for a more relaxed experience.

I love ancient sites, I've been lucky enough to see plenty of these throughout the countries around the Med. But this Paestum one, it's really something! The park is so beautiful with majestic trees everywhere, its roman ruins and, obviously, those breathtaking ancient greek temples of Hera and Athena. If you're a history enthusiast, you can't miss that one!

Sublime ancient greek temples (better than most you can find in greece). Absolutely no crowds on a sunny november afternoon. Unmatched vibes.

This archaeological park is a true treasure—beautifully preserved and impressively expansive. Its size means you can explore at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed by crowds, a refreshing contrast to more tourist-heavy sites. While getting there isn't the easiest journey, the reward is well worth the effort. The peaceful atmosphere and rich historical significance make it an unforgettable experience for anyone with a passion for the past.

Beautifully maintained. I’d highly recommend going here if you’re into architecture and archaeology. Fascinating. Good food stops nearby too. Great parking within steps of the museum. 3 euro lot.

Hard to put into words. If you’re a history lover, Paestum is a must. The ancient Greek temples are breathtaking, and walking through the ruins feels like stepping back in time. It’s peaceful, fascinating, and well worth the visit. You should also visit the nearby Museum as part of the tour, it’s fascinating.

We loved this stop, came here on an excursion from our cruise ship that docked in Salerno. Great ruins, fascinating. Greek & Roman ruins. Hot in the sun, bring water, not much shade while walking the ruins. Wayside signs explained what you were looking at in English.

***CLOSED ON MONDAYS FROM 20 OCTOBER TO 15 DECEMBER*** I would like to give 1 star because they do not have this information anywhere on the website. I returned on a different day and had a great visit hence the 3/5. Dozens of tourists (myself included) arrived on a Monday and had no choice but to leave disappointed. It’s incredibly disrespectful to those that come from all over the world to see this beautiful piece of cultural heritage. —— Easily accessible by train from Naples. The Paestum train station is a 10 minute walk away. Also easily accessed by car. Your ticket includes access to the archeological museum (across the street) and to the archeological site of Velia (45 km south). This archeological site is incredible. It’s not overrun with tourists and the temples are very well preserved. There are plaques and signs with explanations in Italian and English. The park has two entrances, but only one of them sells tickets and had a gift shop. If you want to enter via the other entrance, you will be told to purchase your ticket at the museum. A truly special place that is a must see when visiting the region.

Inside the park so kinda weird that there’s a separate Google listing for each temple when you pay once to visit them all. Plus, how would you rate one temple fewer stars than the others? They’re all over 2,000 years old still standing! I’m struck by how perfectly level and straight the columns and flooring blocks are. Shows fantastic engineering and planning and site prep.

Don't miss Paestum. We arrived just as they closed the gates, but the views from outside the fences were so good we almost didn't go back the next morning. What a mistake that would have been. Upclose access to wellpreserved temples, and acres of tumbled ruins of lesser homes and palaces.

We got free entry as it was a national Republic day then. The temple complex is huge. The archaeology remains appear much grand than in pictures. However still in good shape particularly the temple of Neptune. I would suggest to buy a booklet giving information and it has nice illustrations about how this place must have looked in its heydays. Nice break from crowded tourists spots along amalfi coast

A very impressive archeological park that we stumbled upon whilst motor biking from Diamanté to Salerno. Well worth the €15 ticket - the park is well maintained and well organised. Plenty of parking available and some nearby food options. It’s ideal to park at the exit, closer to Temple of Athena, and walk up to the entrance. Allow at least one hour, more if you visit the museum which is included in the ticket price.

This place is far more interesting than you expect. We were here for about 3 hours. The museum is informative. Once you are on the actual site it seems wrong to be able to walk all over the sites of the buildings. Beautiful mosaics are left open to the elements. Some visual representation of what the buildings may have looked like would have been useful. Excellent value for money. Signage around the site is poor though

Very nice place to visit, must be prepare for the heat and lots of walking. There are restaurants and souvenir stores to enjoy

A beautiful place to visit and get up and close to the Ancient Artifacts.

This was amazing! Can’t recommend this enough, you ‘fly’ across the ravine, spectacular views, such an exhilarating experience (and I don’t even like heights!) The staff were so kind and helpful, organising Go Pro (€20) and there were photos too (€8) and they even took some on my phone before we ‘took off’! (take cash as it’s easier for the team)

Don’t miss this thrill! What a rush! Transform yourself to Superman for a couple of minutes with incredible views! Highly recommend. A bit of a language barrier if you don’t speak Italian, but they tried very hard!

Amazing zipline, really does feel like flying! You have to go to the ticket office in town first so go here rather than the other locations which are the launch sites. Very steep path up to the launch site although there's a bus that takes you most of the way. Price is very reasonable.

Unforgettable experience practiced several times. Really breathtaking .. everything is located in an incredibly small but breathtaking village. I recommend everyone even a visit to the place !!!

The zip line experience was great. The village itself is beautiful I do recommend this activity, however the ladies at the ticket zip line reception was incredibly rude. No good communication and rubbish customer service. We came 2 hours early to the check-inn as we was already in the area because we had taken part in another activity. We wanted to see if there was availability for another ticket. Anyone with common sense would know that the reason we went early to the check-inn was because if we went later we would risk there being no tickets left. They made us wait several minutes outside with no updates and told us we had to come back at the time of our booking to see if there was any spare tickets which is quite stupid as if we came later we would risk others taking any tickets that were left. As we was still waiting outside and being rudely spoken to they allowed a family of 3 with no tickets to go in before us even though we was there before them. At this point we went back in and told them this was ridiculous and unacceptable in which case one of the women decided to argue with us that we was wrong for coming early to get an extra ticket and told us that if we wanted to come 2 hours in advance for a spare ticket we might aswell have come a whole day before?! And that “you should just have booked it online”. Who is she to tell me how to book my tickets. In fact we did try to book another last minute ticket however the site kept crashing and if booking tickets online was the case then she could have told the family of 3 to also book online. What a cheeky cheeky women speaking to customers in such a way.

This was so much fun and could not have been more beautiful. We appreciated the relaxed pace and even enjoyed the 25min hike to the first zipline.

Amazing experience! We truly recommed this flight! The stuff is very kind and highly professional. After you buy your flight online, you come to the Castelmezzano village to the ticket office - Biglietteria. You have to meet the weight requirements, so they measure your weight. Then you go to the parking place in front of tourist info point and wait for the shuttle bus. Bus takes you as high as the road goes, then you walk about 20 minutes further high the path to the Castelmezzano starting station. You fly to the other hill, near Pietrapertosa. Other bus takes you to Pietrapertosa and after cca 10 minutes walk you reach another starting point and you fly back to Castelmezzano. All this is included in price you pay when you book the flight. Pictures from your flight can be purchased after first flight and you can rent GoPro camera at the first starting point. After both flights you get memory card with videos from both of your flights. We had 2x couple flights with our childrens 13 and 10 years old, it was fantastic, the stuff works precisely with all safety precautions. Once more many thanks, when in Basilicata, we will come back again!!! 👍👍👍😉

We had a wonderful tour with wonderful guid named Mario. The cave is beautiful and interesting and the surroundings are beautiful too!

The caves are absolutely amazing, huge caverns with stunning formations, well worth the visit! The guides however, did not impress.... We could not understand any of the information, not being fluent in Italian...they made no effort to find out if we could understand... Also seemed very rude when communicating instructions and directions... Very disappointing!

Beautiful stalactite cave. If you drive between airports in rome or naples and calabria, then this is a nice midpoint place to rest 1 hour. If you can time it with the guided tours. What is special about this cave is you enter the cave by boat. At first we was a bit disappointed, the first half was not beautiful but then the cave became amazing and the last half was full of Stalactites and stalagmites. We like this cave.

Impressive place and a lot of history here. 5 euro for parking, 18 euro for an adult and 13 euro 6-15 yrs. Family tickets available. There is a new tour once pr. Hour. Italien guide. If you’re only English speaking you can for 1 euro buy an audio guide. Around one hour tour first by boat and then walking. Bring a coat or long sleeves. You can pay by card for tickets. If you want something to drink afterwards in the bar only cash here.

Beautiful cave to visit. There is also a small boat ride included. Be on time, otherwise you will not be allowed to join the tour.

Natural caves in the hart of Alburni mountains. You navigate 200mt on a river, than you walk for about 1km, looking at marvelous formations, listening to water falling down from the top of 20 Mt high halls. Spectacular and highly recommended!

Absolutely breathtaking. Amazing. Well worth a visit. Our guide only spoke italian and we had to rent electronic guides and pay extra for that....well?

Lovely park between Lungomare and Via Roma.

Villa Comunale di Salerno is one of those places that you unexpectedly fall in love with and find yourself coming back to again and again. Nestled between the lively seafront and the charming old town, it’s a peaceful retreat full of greenery, elegance, and history. From the moment you enter, you're surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, classic fountains, and lovely shaded paths lined with palm trees, exotic plants, and vibrant flowers. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—perfect for a morning walk, a quiet break in the afternoon, or just soaking up the local atmosphere. What sets it apart is its combination of nature and art. Throughout the garden are impressive statues, busts of notable Italian figures, and plaques with historical significance. You really get the feeling that this isn’t just a park—it’s a living museum in the open air. There’s also a charming bandstand in the centre, which adds to the timeless feel of the place. The cleanliness and upkeep are worth mentioning—the gardens are very well maintained and there are plenty of benches to sit on. It’s safe, family-friendly, and never feels overcrowded. It’s also just a few minutes from Salerno’s Lungomare promenade, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing. And if you’re lucky enough to visit during the famous Luci d’Artista light festival (usually between November and January), Villa Comunale becomes a truly magical wonderland. The entire park is transformed into a glowing fairytale, with giant illuminated animals, trees wrapped in lights, and creative displays that enchant both kids and adults. It’s one of the highlights of Salerno in winter. Overall, Villa Comunale di Salerno is more than just a park—it’s a peaceful, historic, and beautifully designed space that reflects the elegance and warmth of the city itself. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

Very nice place to sit and rest !!! It has magical Christmas decoration! I adore the Garden of Salerno!!!!

It's a small park, but gorgeous and well maintained. Lush vegetation and a small turtle pond. ,👏🏻🌴

An amazing moment of the year (December)

Nicely laid out park with fish & turtle pond. A good place to take a break from the sun.

Such a nice and magical place! So many rare plants and just a beautiful atmosphere!

Not bad for 7€ per person, the audio guide tells you about the history of the place, there's more to see than just the church, we visited the church and the nearby monastery.

The Duomo di Salerno is a beautiful and historic cathedral that is absolutely worth a visit. Built in the 11th century by Robert Guiscard and dedicated to Saint Matthew, whose relics are preserved here, it is one of the most important churches in southern Italy. The entrance through the courtyard with its arches and columns already sets a special atmosphere before you reach the main interior. Inside, the cathedral is elegant and rich in history, with impressive mosaics, chapels, and the crypt of Saint Matthew, which is truly striking. When we visited in the afternoon, there were surprisingly few people, which made the experience even more enjoyable and allowed us to really take in the details in peace. A must-see in Salerno for both history and architecture lovers.

It is worth the trip. If you go to Salerno by cruise ship, take the ferry one way and take the bus another way to Amalfi. You can definitely go further places, but Amalfi was beautiful. It is an expensive place for drinks, deserts, etc. but hey you are on vacation, live a little

My friend and I arrived here a half hour before the crypt closed Friday night. Definitely go closer to closing as there was almost no one there and made for better photos in the ASTOUNDING crypt. For a fiver, this was SO worth it. I’ve only seen a crypt this spectacular at St Francis Monastery in Assisi. Absolutely mind-blowing Baroque work. We spent 20 minutes JUST in the crypt taking photos. The nave on the other hand is quite simple but has a gorgeous mosaic and there is also a lovely tomb right outside the crypt exit. The online guide you scan via a QR code is very helpful as there is no other info around to guide what you’re looking at.

The Duomo of Salerno is breathtaking in its mix of history and architecture. Built in the 11th century by the Normans, it holds the relics of Saint Matthew, one of the Apostles, making it an important pilgrimage site. The bronze doors are incredible, and the crypt beneath the main altar is richly decorated with mosaics and frescoes - one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere is quiet and reverent, but also very welcoming. A must-visit if you’re in Salerno, even if just for a short stroll through the historic center.

Don’t miss the crypt - truly amazing! Never seen anything like it!

We visited on a weekday, and fortunately, due to lunchtime, the church was nearly empty, making it incredibly easy for us to take pictures and then sit and relax in the tranquility of the environment. The marble work was exceptional, and the artistic details were simply stunning.

Although closed by WWF you can just walk in enjoy this magnificent waterfall!!! A beauty in only 1.9 km walk !!

Super

(Translated by Google) There is no ticket office or information point on site, to get some information on tickets you have to go to the town of Senerchia several kilometers away and then discover that the park is... closed. We decided to go in anyway considering that we could easily access it via a side street and that there were already several people inside. The place is enchanting, wonderful. A very easy route, suitable for anyone, practically a walk. (Original) Sul posto non c'è una biglietteria ne un punto informazioni, per avere qualche notizia sui biglietti bisogna recarsi al paese di senerchia a svariati chilometri per poi scoprire che il parco è... chiuso. Abbiamo deciso di entrare comunque considerato che tramite una stradina laterale ci si accedeva agilmente e che all'interno c'erano già diverse persone. Il luogo è incantevole, meraviglioso. Un percorso facilissimo, adatto a chiunque, praticamente una passeggiata.

(Translated by Google) The Senerchia waterfalls (AV) are located within the "Natural Oasis of the Hunting Valley" and can be reached by following a path of approximately one kilometre. The route is quite easy, you go along the Acquabianca stream, you cross it a few times on wooden bridges until you reach the waterfall, about twenty meters high. The oasis is a splendid example of uncontaminated nature, and is home to various species of animals and plants. It is preferable to wear trekking shoes; to access you need to buy an entrance ticket up in the town, near the bar. (Original) Le cascate di Senerchia (AV) si trovano all'interno dell'“Oasi naturale valle della caccia” e si raggiungono percorrendo un sentiero di circa un km. Il percorso è abbastanza agevole, si costeggia il torrente Acquabianca, lo si attraversa alcune volte su ponticelli in legno fino a raggiungere il salto d’acqua, alto circa venti metri. L’oasi è uno splendido esempio di natura incontaminata, e ospita diverse specie di animali e vegetali. È preferibile indossare scarpe da trekking; per accedere è necessario acquistare un biglietto d’ingresso su nel paese, nei pressi del bar.

(Translated by Google) Stunning place but poorly advertised and poorly maintained. The ticket office is not on site but in the town, about 3 or 4 km away (absurd), and someone has thought of an inefficient and bizarre signage system which directs visitors towards the town center and confuses them. Even Google Maps is packed and it's not at all intuitive to get there... The access road is narrow and poorly maintained, the parking is for cars only. Such beautiful places elsewhere would be valued properly... (Original) Posto stupendo ma poco pubblicizzato e tenuto in modo pessimo. La biglietteria non è sul posto ma in paese, distante circa 3 o 4 km (assurdo), e qualcuno ha pensato ad un inefficiente sistema segnaletico, peraltro cervellotico, che indirizza i visitatori verso il centro abitato confondendoli. Anche Google Maps si imballa e non è per niente intuitivo arrivarci... La strada di accesso è stretta e poco manutenzionata, il parcheggio è per solo auto. Posti così belli altrove sarebbero valorizzati come si deve...

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, at times even fairytale-like. The ticket can be purchased in the village, now €6 and from there there is a shuttle (half an hour round trip), all to avoid too many cars near the oasis, even if the parking is not exactly small.. . The coolness and temperature of the water provide consolation from the sticky heat of the period; unfortunately there are not many comfortable places to stay for long and not even many welcoming wooden benches; it is strictly forbidden to consume meals, something that is not stated in the reviews, but very important, because you have to adjust the time of the visit at this point, also because the picnic area outside the oasis is really very small (two tables and very few benches) and very uncomfortable, on a slope: in short, you go for a pure and simple walk, nothing else and the route is unique and delimited for everyone, you cannot get lost or choose alternative paths, because they are closed. At the moment the oasis is only open on Sundays, it is not known whether they will decide, given the high turnout, to remain open on Saturdays too, it is best to find out before leaving. Comfortable shoes are advisable, perhaps even rock shoes. (Original) Posto molto bello,a tratti addirittura fiabesco. Il biglietto si acquista in paese,ora 6€ e da lì c'è la navetta(mezz'ora tra andata e ritorno),il tutto per evitare troppe auto in prossimità dell'oasi,anche se il parcheggio non è proprio piccolissimo... La frescura e la temperatura dell'acqua consolano dal caldo appiccicoso del periodo;purtroppo non ci sono molti posti comodi dove sostare a lungo e neanche tantissime accoglienti panchine in legno;è severamente proibito consumare pasti,cosa che non si legge nelle recensioni,ma molto importante, perchè bisogna regolarsi sull'orario della visita,a questo punto,anche perchè l'area picnic al di fuori dell'oasi è davvero molto piccola (due tavoli e pochissime panchine) e molto scomoda,in pendenza: insomma,si va per una pura e semplice passeggiata,non altro e il percorso è unico e delimitato per tutti,non ci si può perdere,nè scegliere sentieri alternativi,perchè preclusi. Al momento l'oasi è aperta solo di domenica,non si sa se decideranno,data l'alta affluenza,di restare aperti anche il sabato, conviene informarsi prima di partire. Consigliabili scarpe comode, magari anche scarpette da scoglio.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to walk to the bottom, where there is the big waterfall. On a route looked after by the WWF, made up of wooden bridges and ropes, gravel and rock paths, immersed in wild but well-kept vegetation. The sense of inner concentration and peace that the many waterfalls give and the sweet sound of the stream that starts from the waterfall to slide further down the valley is indisputable. The picnic area was off limits (uncivilized tourism?). One of the waterfalls before the largest is the one that leaves you speechless: from a large semi-round rock, covered with grass, endless streams of water flow. Ideal for getting under (water temperature permitting) and cooling off from the heat. I admit that the last kilometer of Stradina to get to the place is up and down which puts a strain on the brakes and clutch... (Original) Bellissimo luogo per camminare fino in fondo, dove c'è la cascata grande. In un percorso accudito dal WWF, fatto di ponticelli di legno e corde, sentieri di ghiaia e rocce, immersi nella vegetazione selvaggia, ma curata. Indiscutibile il senso di raccoglimento interiore e di pace che donano le tante cascatelle ed il suono dolce del ruscello che parte dalla cascata appunto per scivolare più giù a valle. L'area pic-nic era interdetta (turismo incivile?). Una delle cascate prima della piu grande è quella che lascia di stucco: da una grande roccia semitonda, ricoperta di erbetta, colano infiniti rivoli d'acqua. Ideale per mettersi sotto (temperatura dell'acqua permettendo) e rinfrescarsi dalla calura. Ammetto che l'ultimo chilometro di Stradina per arrivare al luogo è un saliscendi che mette a dura prova freni e frizione...

Taking up the entirety of one side of the main square in "new" Pompeii, this magnificent Cathedral is well worth seeing from the inside...high, vaulted ceilings covered with paintings in the classical style, the story of Jesus of course, plus tales of saints. We were lucky to hear grand music emanating from the working organ. Step out of the mad heat to enjoy the serene beauty of the space. Stunningly lit at night, all the way to the tip of the cross. There was a sign for a lift, but we didn't go up the bell tower.

Stunning church with beautiful paintings and frescos. The whole ceiling is adorned. Must visit if you're in the area. Heads up it might be closed from 1pm yo 3pm.

Beautiful church, the inside is breathtaking, so much detail and so much to see. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area. Great restaurants in the church square as well.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Santuario della Beata Vergine Maria del Santo Rosario di Pompei is stunning inside and out. The architecture, art, and spiritual atmosphere left me in awe. A must-visit if you’re in Pompei.

A very beautiful church in the center of Pompeii. The building and paintings are amazing, and it feels calm inside.

Beautiful basilica that is worth visiting. There is also a bell tower, which has a nice view, but unfortunately it was closed during my visit.

This is a very beautiful church inside and outside. A service was going on when we were there. Handicap friendly entrance.

Beautiful spot for a walk in the woods! We enjoyed a pleasant visit to the falls and viewed some wonderful fall scenery along the way. Some other Italian groups out for the same… made for a great outing! The signs are pretty old and impossible to read, so no way to “plan” the walk and route. Hence, 4 stars. Otherwise really nice!

A very beautiful place, it was relaxing to walk along the trail and discover the small waterfalls, I love Basilicata, it's all to discover!

Great walk and good number of waterfalls. Signage is not the best if you want to see the ones that are further from the centre.

Beautiful little waterfall nestled in a lush green wood.

They are nice to see but if the pathway is wet it's almost impossible to go downstairs

Nice walk

Those of San Fele, like many other waterfalls, were formed along the courses of rivers because, in a stretch of their course, the part of the land on which they flow is less resistant to erosion than the part further upstream; over time, a difference in height is formed between the two parts and a waterfall is thus generated that can slowly grow in height over the passing of millennia…
