A visit to the Charterhouse of Padula or trip to Pertosa caves?
Not only Palinuro, but also its environs are full of mystical fascination and hold unexpected treasures in store. The Cilento and Vallo di Diano national park is rich in medieval towns and enchanting spots immersed in natural scenery, such as WWF oasis Bussento caves or Castelcivita caves, which are one of the most extensive subterranean systems in Campania and southern Italy. A short distance from our hotel by the sea in Palinuro, you’ll find areas of archaeological and cultural interest, such as the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Paestum and the ancient Elea (Velia) archaeological site. If you’d like to continue to explore the area beyond Palinuro and environs, you can head to nearby Basilicata and admire Christ the Redeemer of Maratea, a 22-metre statue which is the third tallest in Europe and seventh in the world.
