Agropoli Amalfi Coast
Agropoli, an ancient village overlooking the sea which constitutes the gateway to the National Park of Cilento.
Between the coast and the Cilento National Park, Agropoli is one of the most important tourist destinations in Campania's "Cilento" area. With its breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian sea, Agropoli is the perfect choice for those wishing to enjoy a seaside vacation, close to the many places of natural beauty to be found within the National Park of Cilento and the Vallo di Diano.
The cliffs of "Trentova" and "San Francesco" appear on many a postcard of Agropoli, as do the images of the historic center and the Castle. The name Agropoli derives from the ancient Greek "akro-polis", or "city on high".
Numerous traces of the Magna Grecia can be found in the nearby archaeological sites of Velia and Paestum. Among the various events held in the town, the most popular are, without doubt, the Carnevale Agropolese and the Festa della Madonna di Costantinopoli.
