Caprioli is a small village lying on a hillside above the sea halfway between the towns of Pisciotta and Palinuro. It doesn’t have such a picturesque and historical appearance like these two towns, it is much younger and therefore the area is much more modern.

The distinctive landmark of the area is Saracen tower – Torre dei Caprioli, built on the coast. The coast between Palinuro and Caprioli is full of flat sandy beaches, so you can relax every day on a different beach offering a different view of the countryside.

There are lot of holiday resorts, hotels, villagios or campings along the coast. The whole area is characterized by a peaceful atmosphere, while visitors will definitely find everything they need for an unforgettable holiday.

The area is surrounded by the Apennine Mountains range, which form the national park – Parco Nazionale del Cilento including many important caves.

If you go 1 km following a walking trail (or 3 km by car) more to the north you will get to the crystal clear blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches of Marina di Pisciotta with gentle entry into the water as well.

These beaches are the ideal place for a relaxing holiday for families with children. Beautiful clear sea offers good conditions for diving and the surrounding mountainous area with many historical places of interest are great for panoramic tours.
