Acciaroli
Acciaroli is a small stone fishing village on the Cilento coast, the most populous hamlet of the comune of Pollica in the Province of Salerno. Known locally as the "pearl of Cilento," it trades on a postcard harbour of coloured boats, a Norman watchtower rising over the pier, and some of the clearest, most finely sandy beaches in southern Italy.
It is the coast of the Mediterranean Diet, celebrated with the "5 Sails" from Legambiente and the Blue Flag for water quality, and the village that legend ties to Ernest Hemingway. It is best visited May to September for swimming, or in spring and autumn for quieter walks, museums and olive-grove hills above the sea.
