Agropoli cruise port guide

About Agropoli

Agropoli is a coastal town at the northern tip of the Cilento coast in the province of Salerno, Campania. It has a large tourist harbour with ferry connections to Capri, Ischia, Salerno, and Naples, and an impressive Angevin-Aragonese castle crowning the historic promontory.

The Angevin-Aragonese Castle (on 6th-century Byzantine foundations) dominates the promontory; it has a triangular plan with three circular towers and a moat. The medieval old town is well preserved with defensive walls and the 7th-century Byzantine entrance gate intact. Paestum (approximately 10 km north) contains three of the finest surviving Greek temples in the world, including the Temple of Neptune (c. 460 BC) — an essential half-day shore excursion. The Cilento coast beaches and the Trentova Bay are the summer swimming draws.
