Hotels in Cilento, Italy

Cilento is a coastal region in southern Italy, famous for its ancient Greek temples at Paestum and the rugged Cilento National Park. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers (80-90°F / 27-32°C) perfect for swimming and kayaking along the Tyrrhenian Sea, and mild winters (50-60°F / 10-15°C) ideal for hiking to medieval hilltop villages like Castellabate. Want to explore history without the crowds? Visit Paestum in spring or fall when temperatures are cooler and you can roam the 5th-century BC temples almost alone.
