Agropoli​

By Dion Protani
Latest update: 6 January 2023
The seaside town of Agropoli is situated within the Province of Salerno in Campania and famous for being the gateway to the Cilento Coast. Moreover, it's by some distance the sub-region's most populous town with around 22,000 permanent residents.

It lies at the northern extreme of the Cilento region, facing out on to the Tyrrhenian Sea and just a short distance south of the famous archaeological site of Paestum. All of these factors combine to add to the lustre of Agropoli with visitors attracted not only by its beaches but by its multiple accommodation options.

The town itself is vibrant with a good mix of age-groups and plenty of choice in terms of dining, shopping and sightseeing. The most famous sight is the Aragonese/Angevin castle which sits on a hill and affords some wonderful views of the town and its attractive marina area. The old town that surrounds the castle is full of charm with narrow, stone walkways interspersed with some enticing restaurants, bars and cafès serving local cuisine and of course fresh fish dishes. 

Getting here is quite simple too; Agropoli is something of a transport hub for the region, easily accessed by car but also with public transport options including buses and trains. ​
