Along the scenic route, you’ll pass through Pioppi and Acciaroli, take breaks at secluded beaches, and discover the Punta Licosa peninsula before arriving at your hotel in the vibrant fishing village.

The final highlight is medieval Castellabate, whose narrow streets and panoramic views high above the coast are simply enchanting.
