Salerno Guide

Salerno Guide

Salerno is a town and a province capital in Campania, south-western Italy, located on the gulf of the same name on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Salerno's history dates from its establishment as a Roman town in about 194 BC after the wars with Hannibal the Great. It is situated on a natural harbor which has facilitated trade from ancient times to the present, and which was used by the allied forces as a landing place during the Italian campaign in World War II. Behind the city is a high rock surmounted by an ancient castle, the Castle of Arechi, which commands a view overlooking the city and the Bay. Like other cities and towns in southern Italy, Salerno has been washed over by succeeding dynasties and empires, all of which have had an influence on the evolution of the city, physically and culturally. After the Romans, the Samnites, followed by the Saracens and Lombards, and of course the Byzantines and Normans.

Sun kissed beaches decorate the coastline and colourful houses line the town centre; when envisaging a postcard picture Mediterranean town, Positano is what you’d imagine. The town’s appeal lies in the wonderful aesthetics of its landscape; walking trails dominate the land, affording glorious vistas of the surrounding mountainside. The beaches are also ideal for a leisurely stroll whilst embracing the refreshing sea breeze, especially in the summer when the sun shines down on the azure blue waters. Although the beaches are often fairly peaceful, much of the activity revolves around the beach clubs and bars that are dotted along the shoreline, creating a youthful energy. To really experience the beauty of Positano, a few companies offer excursions around the water encompassing the town. For those that prefer to spend their time on land, many tours are available around the religious sites scattered around the town, as well as some of the large parks. After a day of sightseeing, head to one of the excellent restaurants that serve delicious seafood fresh from the water.
