It was truly an amazing experience. We all had so much fun it was quite and so beautiful. The whole experience while in the boat was amazing our guide was fantastic and friendly and i have nothing to complain about. We made many beautiful memories. Would recommend trying it here 👍

Thank you for these great tours. 😁The communication with Gigia was smooth in English. She has been super nice and answered and considered all my questions and concerns. The same goes for Francesco and Giuseppe. We did first water rafting and two days later canyoning. Both tours were with Francesco and the canyoning was with Giuseppe. I did both for the first time and felt very well taken care of. Francesco and Giuseppe are very experienced, friendly and funny. The tours are very nice and the price is absolutely reasonable. In general, it is a young and very nice team there. I can highly recommend it to everyone. I hope that I can do another tour there someday. 😇

Wow! This place is amazing. The staff here is super welcoming and the activities that they provide are exceptional. Francesco, Diego, and Mattias (the guides) were fantastic. We did the long route and stayed on the river for more than 2 hours. Fiume Lao offers breathtaking views and the guides were clear in describing the place and the area. They were also supportive in guiding us throughout the activity and we couldn't ask for better guides. They even took fantastic pic shots when we were under a fall (see the attached picture). When we got back to the starting point, we all sat together and had a few beers and a long chat. Amazing atmosphere and people from all over the world. If you are looking for some action in the Pollino Mountain, you should definitely look for Francesco at the Pollino Rafting. High recommended.

Based on the photos and the description I had already been expecting something truly amazing but the actual experience still managed to be 100 times better than I could have possibly imagined! The views were spectacular and the route was very varied. Our guide, Franco, was super positive and explained all the technicalities in a clear way so that even though it was my first time doing rafting, it didn't feel daunting at all but pure fun. Everything was well-organised down to the smallest detail with all the equipment provided and access to warm showers and changing rooms afterwards. Another nice touch was the presence of a photographer so that we got some spectacular action shots at a small extra fee. I definitely hope to return to Pollino and do it again!

Great river with cristal clear water. Its perfect for kids and beginners as it is a very smooth ride. The staff if very friendly and professional and we really enjoyed it.

If you like the adventure this is the place for you. A team of professionals coming from all over the world, including rafting national champions, assist you while sailing on ribber boats on the Lao river. Different level of difficulties allow also kids from 3/4 to join the trip and having a lot of fun. Several opportunities are also offered like canyoning, biking, kayaking.

I really liked the views and my guide was very friendly i have nothing to complain about :)

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.

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!!! 👍👍👍😉

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.

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.

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.

S P E T T A C O L A R E....

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. L’acqua nella baia è bassa e permette passeggiate in acqua per fare splendide foto.

(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!

(Translated by Google) I reached this beach from the sea on a pedal boat that I was able to dock on the shoreline. It's a charming place, a beach with a mix of pebbles and golden sand, crystal-clear water, and a stunning view. Worth a visit. (Original) Ho raggiunto questa spiaggia dal mare con un pedalò che ho potuto fermare sulla battigia. Posto incantevole, spiaggia misto ciottolo sabbia d'orata, acqua cristallina e panorama stupendo. Merita una visita

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place. Imposing cliffs meet the blue sea that seems painted. I recommend exploring the coast with a motor boat that can easily be rented on site. (Original) Luogo meraviglioso. Imponenti scogliere si incontrano con il mare di un blu che sembra dipinto. Consiglio di esplorare la costa con una barca a motore facilmente noleggiabile in loco.

(Translated by Google) The town of Palinulo is a delight. The locals are very attentive. We spent three very pleasant days in this small town. (Original) Cidade de Palinulo é um mimo. Os moradores são muito atenciosos. Foram três dias super agradáveis nessa pequena cidade.

(Translated by Google) We were here by boat on a Monday. It was a fantastic experience. The water was clean and crystal clear. Many sloop sailors were cruising along the cliffs. A pure nature experience? Very nice for €20 per person, followed by a swim in the secluded bay. (Original) Wir waren an einem Montag mit Boot hier. Tolles Erlebnis. Das Wasser war auber und kristallklar. Viele Maersegler waren an den Steilwänden unterwegs. Ein Naturerlebnis pur? Sehr schön für 20€ p.P. uns anschließendem baden in der einsamen Buch

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to go hiking starting from the port car park. Beautiful vegetation and spectacular views. The circular tour lasts about 3 hours and it is advisable to do it during the late afternoon hours to then enjoy the sunset at the port. Trekking shoes recommended. Not to be done in slippers (Original) Bellissimo posto per fare escursioni partendo dal parcheggio del porto. Bellissima vegetazione e scorci spettacolari. Il giro ad anello dura circa 3 ore ed è consigliabile farlo durante le ore del tardo pomeriggio per godersi poi il tramonto al porto. Consigliate scarpe da trekking. Da non fare in ciabatte

(Translated by Google) A boat trip is a must! The coast is stunning and much better seen from the sea than from land. There are too many beaches and so many people. If you go by sea, you can appreciate the beauty of this place. We went from Pisciotta to Cala degli Infreschi, with cold water springs. Highly recommended. PS: Palinuro is also worth a visit. (Original) Una gita in barca e' d'obbligo! La costa e'stupenda ed e' molto meglio visitarla dal mare che da terra. Ci sono troppi lidi e tanta ma tanta gente. Se andate via mare potere apprezzate la bellezza di questo posto. Noi siamo andati da pisciotta fino a cala degli infreschi,con sorgenti di acqua fredda Altamente consigliato. PS: merita una visita anche Palinuro

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?

From a distance is so exciting to go visit. This Castle is just a museum

The museum inside the castle is amazing has many historical artifacts. The castle is small in size when it is compared with other castles in Italy but rich in history.

Amazing. Much more to see than expected. Entrance fee is not expensive! Castle is beautifull. Museum even more. Although, castle is under maintenance construction works, if you are close to Melfi, absolutely recommend to visit. Don't skip the museum.

Very friendly staff, one of them gave us a talk and explanation in english and then we were free to wander around. Good exhibitions inside and amazing finds on display. Well worth a visit!

It was ok, a little underwhelming. It has been extremely renovated due to an earthquake so the interior doesn't feel very castle like.

I went to melfi for a school trip, it was very nice! The city is very beautiful and very clean, then we went to the castle of Frederick II where there are many tombs, including a child with toys, a woman with kitchen utensils and jewels and a man with some weapons

Remarkably good experience with very enthusiastic guides

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…

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

Very beautiful and peaceful. Great views and cool breeze! Restaurant was closed when we went. Take water. Dress modestly or they give you paper cover ups to go in.

A sanctuary on the top of the mountain. That's the Italian way of building churches. Created around 1200's-1500's this is the most beautiful place to pray and contemplate the beauty of the nature,fresh air, and a magnificent landscape view of cities such us Mercogliano, summomte and Avellino. That's not all, from here, you can see the naples beach and island and the volcano. Moreover, the sanctuary is full of history and beautiful images.

Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Emozionante, facilmente raggiungibile, ben organizzato, pulito. Mi è piaciuta moltissimo la cripta con le reliquie dei Santi, in particolare San Modestino. Exciting, easily accessible, well organized, clean. I really liked the crypt with the relics of the saints, especially San Modestino. On the spot you will find a bar, stalls with local products. Spannend, leicht zugänglich, gut organisiert, sauber. Mir gefiel die Krypta mit den Reliquien der Heiligen, vor allem San Modestino, wo es eine Bar und Stände mit lokalen Produkten gibt Захватывающий, легкодоступный, хорошо организованный, чистый. Мне очень понравился склеп с мощами святых, особенно Сан-Модестино. На месте вы найдете бар, киоски с местными продуктами.

Beautifil cathedral set in the mountains, in a fantastic place where you can breathe a mystical atmosphere. Wonderful

Nice place to visit. If you don't want to hassle with italian traffic just take cableway from the bottom of the mountain.

I felt very uplifted, blessed coming to the sanctuary of montevergine. Everything about this place is just spectacular. I’m very happy that my father in law took me to this place.

The Arch is in the pedestrian zone ( no cars) you are free to walk the area. It’s is known as/for la Strega witch or witch city. There is plenty of spots in the area for street side refreshments and more formal options.

We visited Benavento as a part of the FAI national program. There were several palaces to see, one which had a display of 18th and 19th century costumes. The building in my picture below is in desperate need of reconstruction and there really wasn’t much there to look at. The Roman arch is well repaired and visible from all angles.

Amazing Trajan arc - and absolute must see. Incredibly well preserved.

This is an amazing example of the incredible building powers of the Romans. It's in such great condition and a lovely open location and nicely looked after. A must visit if your in the area.

Let's you imagine the glorious Roman past as it was built between 114 and 117 (as per wikipedia). Nice little place to visit. Perfect for pictures. Has many awesome coffee shops nearby that makes the place worth the visit when in Benevento.

A small archeological exposition nearby, free of charge.

Beautiful work from roman times.

Seeing the Faraglioni by boat was one of the best parts of visiting Capri. Sailing past these natural rock formations is breathtaking. The views, the sea breeze, it all adds to a perfect day.

Coming here was a dream come true. I am from a small island from the Caribbean and it amazes me how lucky we are to have so many beautiful places in the world to discover and to enjoy.

Took a half day boat trip, during the trip we saw these as well as many other amazing sites from the water around Capri. Highly recommend doing something similar, also we packed a picnic lunch for our half day trip and it was a great way to spend the morning.

Good view from the boat

you can visit it by boat, and pass through the arch, or just go to one panoramic point.

Get a private boat tour with the local skipper-those guys are knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and very good guides if you want to explore areas around the island.

We saw this rock formation as part of our day trip by boat from Nerano. This tour depart Nerano to Capri where you spend 5 hours on Capri and before you depart, the boat goes around the island and through the archway made by this rock formation. The tour encouraged couples to kiss as we passed through the archway as it gives the couple a good luck wish. They teased it would lead to pregnancy. It's certainly a nice stop as part of a tour.

A nice experience, especially for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and hikers. From the bus drop-off point to the summit, it's about a half-hour easy walk, the ascent is not too difficult. The view into the crater itself is not that impressive, but the bonus you get from the climb is the panoramic views of the Bay of Naples.

This was the second volcano I have climbed, the first being Etna. What can I say? First of all, I feel incredibly lucky that I managed to get the last three tickets for the day, sold right at the last minute! I was over the moon with happiness, as it has been a long-time dream of mine to come here, and I travelled all the way from Moldova to fulfill it. ​I was absolutely charmed by its beauty and imposing energy. This place charged me up for the next half a year! I am happy and deeply grateful for this wonderful day spent here. ​Nature lovers and explorers will certainly enjoy this experience. ​A few tips: I recommend buying tickets in advance—at least one or two days ahead. If you want to secure a specific day or time slot, book three to four days, or even a week, in advance. ​Today, October 19th, the temperature was quite warm. I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and had a vest with me, which I took off during the climb. The trail from the entrance point to the crater is not long and is not complicated; even children can manage it. ​Vesuvius is a true gem of Italy and will forever remain in my heart.

You have to park and pay the shuttle fee to get to the trail head, otherwise you walk the road itself to get to the hike. Very lose dirt/rocks on the path. Path is steep but worth the views! Wait to shop until you get to the summit, great hand made souvenirs and shirts/hoodies. Snacks and drinks available at 2 locations, trail head and summit.

If driving up take care roads are poor and bus drivers are brutal . Honking horn beware and wait. Parking at top.Tourist outlets and refreshments available . One tourist was complaining as no Lava was visible. Really!!!! Must have thought it was Dante’s Peak . As the main attraction in Naples I would not miss it it’s unique and pretty awe inspiring.

Took about an hour to walk up steadily and slow pace, not rocky though steep and no rush to reach the top. Cloudy but no rains today which was good, parking is problematic and not the best organised, toilets are a few but mobile type, they should really invest in proper facilities especially with so much tourism and people spending money to come here. Nevertheless great views and some smoke coming from the mountain itself, though some morning mist too and clouds.

This is a unique experience. Climbing an active volcano is not something you do every day (unless you are a vulcanologist). I think it fair to say that Vesuvius is Europe's best known active volcano. We drove to a parking area, roughly half way up the mountain (best reserve beforehand) from where you take a bus but you have to climb the final section on your legs and it is quite steep and slippery in places. At the top you can walk around the rim and see the fumeroles of gaa escaping from the sides of the caldera, The rim path is well fenced of course and there is even a coffee shop at the top.

Booked parking ticket €7 on line, gives you a 2 hour time slot 🚗. You can walk from the carpark to the summit or pay to take a minibus further up 🌋 (return trip) to the point where you have to walk. We also had an audio guide which talked about the previous eruptions. It is a steep walk, but plenty of places to look out to Naples, Pompeii & Herculaneum. There is also a couple of refreshment / souvenir stops 🍷on route to the summit. There was some steam exiting part of the crater which smelt a bit eggy (sulphur). A must do, great trip.

The gardens of Augustus is a beautiful mountaintop garden which has a few statues and benches but it's main selling point is the view at the top. If you are on a tour and don't have much time I would recommend, as it's easy enough to get to and is a stunning "Instagram worthy" spot. Of course you have to pay to get in which you can do via a QR code or buying tickets. You can pay in your own currency on the app, which I thought was cool. I think £4 for a tiny garden with a view is milking it though, I think it should be done on a donation basis. You'll have people everywhere posing at every which angle so find a few good spots, take some snaps and get out of there!

€2.50 per person for entry and not sure its worth it. It is essentially 10m2 of grass with some flowers, several view points towards the faraglioni and a couple more on the other side towards the Via Krupp. Some good views of the faraglioni rocks but lots of people in the way taking photos of course. The views are just as good at the roof terrace next door and you can have a drink whilst enjoying the view! Win win

Without exaggeration, the best place to relax. A cozy terraced garden with a magnificent view. Perhaps a book in the breeze, or just watching the sharp horizon divide the blue sky from the turquoise water. Not to be missed.

Beautiful views and definitely worth a visit to get some memorable pictures. Lots of places to sit and relax but you’re not allowed to eat there. Entry was €2.5 and definitely worth the views.

Nice and well maintained gardens. Entrance fee of €2,50 a person. Plenty of scenic viewpoints. Make sure to arrive as early as possible to prevent having to navigate the tourist groups that start arriving as early as of 09:30. They open at 09:00, and since it’s a small garden between 09:00 and 09:30 is a very nice window to see it all in all tranquility.(excluding the via Krupp)

After our ferry ride, we made our way to the Garden of Augustus. The views were truly magnificent, and the serene atmosphere made for a perfect escape. The vibrant colors of the flowers against the deep blue of the sea were a sight to behold. However, the experience was slightly marred by the cost of entry. It felt like a bit of a rip-off to pay €2.50 per person for such a small area. What was even more frustrating was the price of water. Having to shell out €2.50 for a tiny 300ml bottle felt like pure exploitation, especially on a hot day. It's a shame that a place of such natural beauty has to resort to such practices to squeeze every penny out of its visitors.

Lovely little garden in an amazing location. The statues and plants are very nice, and the grounds are very well maintained. The really impressive aspect is the surrounding architecture, particularly the switchback ramp leading all 100+ meters down to the sea.

Monte Solaro offers breathtaking panoramic views—you can see the entire island of Capri and beyond. Access is very easy via the chairlift, which is a lovely experience in itself, providing stunning views throughout the ride. Visiting Monte Solaro is highly recommended — a must-see spot for any Capri visitor.

Cable car to the top of Monte Solaro, one of the best views from the whole island of Capri the restaurant there has great bread and wine and food and a little walk to the edge. You can see the Capri arches , this is definitely a must visit place take your time to enjoy your stay there the food, the breeze, the view the service even the music they play

It’s a very nice view. There’s not much to do in Capri and this is one of the things. There’s a little cafe at the top too.

I love the view. Very safe chairlift. It cost 14 euros per person. It takes 14 min to go up and 14 min to go down. U can take ur time at the top to enjoy the view and take pictures. U can try the restaurant overe there as well. By little bit expensive but logical. U can also have a walk down if you dlnt want to take the chair lift for the return. Enjoy your stay in capri

Unforgettable experience at Monte Solaro! You reach the summit by a single-seat chairlift from Anacapri — the ride takes about 13 minutes each way, but it’s best to book in advance since lines can be long. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking, a 360-degree panorama of the sea, Naples, and the island — truly one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. There’s a restaurant at the summit with amazing views, though quite expensive (we paid €7 for a cappuccino). Even the toilets cost €1 to enter, but honestly, the view alone makes it all worth it. A must-do experience on Capri!

Quick check. View was great and produced nice pics

The view from the top is amazing. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the place is in bad conditions and not very clean. For the money they charge for the lift it could be a better experience.

The cave and the color of the water is amazing. It was an adventurous experience to change the boat . Quite a wonder that it worked out fine. The waiting time to get in the cave is really long und it was so tight in this small boat. Thank god I took a pill to prevent a motion sickness otherwise it would be a torture. Well, altogether it was an experience but it really expensive. I really don’t know for sure if it worth it.

It is an experience that is a "must do" if you are visiting Capri. We were there early at 8:15am, and were literally the 2nd group in line. They start the tours at 9am. They started a little early, and we were actually out of the cave and on shore at 9am. We had thought it was going to take almost 2 hours (which is definitely possible because by the time we were out, there were 50 people in the line on shore, and a couple dozen boats of people waiting for the small boats to pick them up 4 at a time to go into the cave).

Very much a tourist trap, only do it if you have the means for it. Costs about 18€ per person and an additional 10€ for the boat rower. Also only do it if there is not a lot of wait. We only waited 15 min and didn’t know what to expect. The tour inside is only 5 minutes. Each boat takes 4 people and you have to duck down to fit inside the cave entrance. I would say you are not missing much if you don’t do it, there’s a lot of other better things to do in Capri.

Clear blue waters. Mysterious coves. Light breeze. That's all you need for a perfect getaway in this paradise situated in Capri. The natives taking you inside the Grotto are friendly and welcoming, singing beautiful Italian parodies that touch your heart. The cave inside the Grotto dates back to the time when a Romanian king came to this Grotto by digging a tunnel for 90m. There a huge line for this but the experience itself is out of this world. Highly recommend!

The Blue Grotto in Capri is absolutely magical! The moment you glide into the cave, the sunlight reflecting off the water creates a glowing, almost otherworldly blue that takes your breath away. The boat ride is short but unforgettable, and the experience feels truly unique to Capri. The guides are friendly and add to the charm with their singing and stories. It’s a must-see—photos can’t capture the beauty, you simply have to experience it in person!

Nature at its best. The color of the waters is surreal. Must see in person, well worth a boat ride there.

€18 euro per person for entry and bigger boat ride to the site €10 euro forced tip per person on top to the smaller boat guide For one person, that will come out to €28! Not sure if it's worth that much especially since it's part of nature -_-. Feels weird to capitalize on this. I saw the boat guide stay near our bigger boat until the ladies in the boat with us gave him tip (I don't think it was their fault, I just don't think their English was that good so they probably didn't understand what he meant). Also, as soon as I gave him our tip, he immediately looked at it, which I thought was awkward and rude. I also saw the boat guides pass over taking certain people, and I'm guessing they're stereotyping people on how much they can tip. Also, THE WAIT! Even though we went there first after taking the first ferry to Capri, there was still an hour wait. If there's a wait, now I really don't think it's worth it, especially if you're there on a day trip. Me and my husband wished we skipped on the boat tours and blue grotto and just explored inland more because inland was gorgeous and it was just nice to stroll around. While the view inside was gorgeous, I don't think the whole experience was worth €28 per person. Felt more like a tourist trap.

This is a very interesting and quite emotional place to visit. Although smaller then Pompeii the dramatic scenes witnessed were more than worth the visit. The location is about a 20 minute walk from Portico station or less than 10 minutes from Ercolano station. All the staff were well informed and extremely helpful. Although there is a lot of restoration work ongoing, we found plenty to take our attention for nearly 3 hours, even in the heavy rain. We recommend booking your tickets in advance and just getting your train tickets from the stations.

Well worth a visit. Much quieter and more intimate than Pompeii with many artefacts still in situ. The site is very well preserved and easy to navigate. I recommend hiring the audio tour which explains everything in detail as you walk around the site. Note that there are still excavations here, so there is more to discover in future. Allow at least two hours for your visit, preferably more. It’s so beautiful you need time to take it all in.

We did Pompeii and then Herculaneum. I would recommend doing the opposite. If you see Pompeii you will compare the two and they are nothing alike. Pompeii is like Paris and this is a small village, that still has some amazing homes, but the scale is so different. An easy walk from the train, the site was buried under 30 meters of ash, so you see alot of it from above which is really impressive. There are lots of places to explore and interesting facts sprinkled throughout the site. I wish a paper map was included, showing my age, but it would have helped to know I had seen everything. Definitely worth spending 3-5 hours at.

aller and quieter than Pompeii, but incredibly well preserved — wooden doors, mosaics, and even food remains still visible. Walking through the ancient streets feels like stepping straight into Roman daily life. The site is compact, easy to explore in a few hours, and beautifully maintained. Bring water and good shoes, as there’s little shade. A haunting, unforgettable glimpse into history frozen in time.

A must see! Herculaneum is a really well preserved little town, lost to us on the same day as Pompeii. In many ways it is similar to Pompeii, but there are a few exceptions. The town, as a whole, is better preserved, so it feels more like you are walking g through a living place. There are more items in situ, which makes the visit less up and down. It is less busy with tourists, which is obviously better for a number of reasons. It is much smaller and so you can see everything, at a leisurely pace, in about 2 hours. A wonderful experience, if you like history it is highly recommended.

I prefered the archeological site of Herculaneum over Pompeii. It's a much smaller town that was originally on the waterfront. The way it has been excavated demonstrates really well how life revolved around shipping and the waterfront trade? Town is much smaller and manageable and you get a feel for how life was in the town. Many original archaeological artefacts have been left in place. Although there are a number in the small museum attached to the site, which I personally preferred over Pompeii, it didn't require a separate museum visit to see the original artefacts. The site is still being excavated and as we toured around the town we saw archaeologist going about their day-to-day work excavating the site. I feel that this added to the experience.

Amazing Roman ruins from the 79AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius. A much smaller site than Pompeii, you can see everything in around 3 hours. Pompeii takes 3 days! Some really well-preserved Roman artefacts in the museum, including a wooden fishing boat and lots of relics of life at the time. Pre-booking is an option (use the Herculaneum site, not a 3rd Party), but it's not as busy as Pompeii and you can pay on entry. Well-worth a visit, although anyone with mobility issues may find some of the site a challenge.

Very cute park, not huge but big enough to spend an afternoon, it's not crowded on weekends. There is a restaurant, a bar and you are able to rent a canoe for 2 people for 12 Eur (30 mins) . The water is very clear but you cannot swim in it. Altogether a nice stop, there is a pic nic area and the entrance to the park it's free

This is a very relaxing and amazing place. The river has bright and amazing colours. It is not allowed to swim into the river. However you can hire a canoa. During the weekend it is pretty full of people.

Super crowded place, pretty uncomfortable, annoying constant noise from parrots and smoke from barbecues all around. Definitely not recommended, especially if long drive. Parking is a mess also.

Great time with friends drinking, eating and doing all available activities. We went canoeing, horseriding and made good use of the bbq.

The park was really beautiful, there are so many things to do such as canoeing, bbq, having a picnic and playing in the park. There is also a restaurant and a bar. There are many animals, plants and trees; it was really clean and lovely. It is great for family and couples

Perfect for a day out in nature but close to towns. Equipped with bbqs outdoor, the restaurant is also very good

Nice park. Lots of different wildlife. Plenty of shade. Many different BBQ Areas. Kayaking. The water is always cool... Some muskrats moved in recently. The restaurant is also good.
