The village

Cannicchio, a village between the town and the sea

Cannicchio is a small hill village, one of the five hamlets of the municipality of Pollica. It sits up high, halfway between the town of Pollica and Acciaroli, so you are close to both: the sea on one side, the hills of the Cilento on the other.

The houses are built of stone and face narrow lanes. It is a quiet place, where in the evening you hear the silence of the village and in the morning you walk out for a coffee. The Cilento is crossed by ancient paths that once linked the villages, now restored for walking: ask us which ones run nearby.

Getting here

What to see

Stops along the way

From the sea of Acciaroli and Pioppi to the temples of Paestum, the Cilento is best discovered one stop at a time. Here is where to start.

Close to home

  1. The village

    Pollica

    The upper village, in the Cilento National Park. In the municipality you can visit the Palazzo Principesco, the church of San Nicola, the Franciscan monastery and the castle of Vinciprova. Pollica is linked to the Mediterranean diet, recognised by UNESCO.

  2. The sea

    Acciaroli

    The fishing village around the little harbour, with walkways leading to the stone cottages, the church of the Annunziata on the port and the Norman Tower. The Spiaggia Grande is sandy. The village is also known for the stay of Ernest Hemingway in the 1950s.

  3. At the table

    Pioppi

    This is where the scientist Ancel Keys lived; his observation of local eating habits is at the origin of the story of the Mediterranean diet. Acciaroli and Pioppi have been awarded the Blue Flag for several years in a row.

  4. A day at the sea

    Punta Licosa

    A headland in the municipality of Castellabate, with rocks and clear water, perfect for a day at the sea away from the crowds.

Further afield

  1. History

    Elea-Velia archaeological park

    The remains of the ancient Greek city of Elea, where the philosophical school of Parmenides and Zeno was born.

  2. Sea and caves

    Palinuro

    The headland of Capo Palinuro, with sea caves that you visit by boat.

  3. Archaeology

    Paestum

    The Greek temples of Paestum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, among the best preserved in the Mediterranean.

  4. Nature

    Castelcivita and Pertosa-Auletta caves

    Two caves open to visitors in the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, for a day away from the sea.

For distances and travel times use your satnav starting from Cannicchio. If you would like advice on planning your days, just ask.
