Exploring Cilento

Set off from Happy Village. Check out the best things to see in the most authentic part of Cilento.

A wonderful land

From the holiday village to the heart of Cilento, the distance is short. These are places you don’t simply pass through: you live them. Here, every curve of the landscape tells an ancient story, among olive trees and the sea. Every view speaks to you, every village meets your gaze with timeless eyes. Staying at Happy Village is like holding the key to a world waiting to be discovered. Let yourself be surprised.

Sea, villages and nature: worth visiting

From Marina di Camerota, every excursion is a chance to get in touch with an authentic area, marked by silence, flavours and beauty. Take a look at our tips here:

Baia degli Infreschi

It's one of Italy's most beautiful beaches, nestled in a protected marine area and accessible by boat directly from the resort's beach. A slice of paradise with crystal-clear water, cliffs and caves.

Palinuro and the Blue Grotto

The legendary promontory of Capo Palinuro and its famous cave, where refracted light makes for a unique spectacle, is a trip you can't miss, blending myth, nature and magic.

Aperitif on a boat at sunset

“Emozioni di Blu” (Blue Emotions) is the name of our sunset experience. Two hours between the sea and the light, where beauty mirrors itself in a glass and Cilento shows its most romantic side. What more could you ask for?!

Trekking in the Cilento National Park

A network of trails, mule tracks and paths winding through the Mediterranean scrub. Breathtaking views unfold among ancient hermitages and moments of restorative silence. Nature lovers and those who enjoy being active are more than welcome.

Villages and archaeology: Camerota, Pisciotta, Paestum

Stroll through stone alleyways, discover the Greek and Roman history of Paestum, and enjoy the local flavours and slow pace of life in small towns.

Head straight from the holiday village

Boat trips leave straight from our beach, thanks to the GRECALE II motorboat. It's comfy, safe, and a great way to experience Cilento... from the sea.
