Hotels in Cilento, Italy

Cilento is a coastal region in southern Italy, famous for its ancient Greek temples at Paestum and pristine beaches along the Tyrrhenian Sea. Summers are hot and dry (80°F / 27°C), perfect for kayaking through the emerald coves of the Cilento National Park, while mild winters (50°F / 10°C) let you hike the trails past medieval villages like Castellabate without the crowds. If you visit in spring, you can explore the ruins of Velia, an ancient Greek city, and taste the local mozzarella made from water buffalo raised right in the foothills.
