Salerno is conveniently located 50km south of Naples. It is a Mediterranean city perfectly placed between the Amalfi Coast and the lesser known but equally beautiful Cilento Coast. From the Hostel, it's possible to reach the excavations of Pompei (open in the evening as well) and the Valley of the temples at Paestum in less than thirty minutes by train. At ten minutes walking distance from the Hostel, there is Salerno's tourist port from which depart the ferries and hydrofoils for Amalfi, Positano and Capri with connections for Sorrento and Ischia. The Amalfi and Cilento Coasts are also easily accessible by taking advantage of the many coastal buses which pass near the Hostel.
In summer, the services of the new Hostel include boat tours, canoe trips, trekking and diving outings accompanied by expert staff, together with amazing tours to nearby Pompei, Paestum, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
If you still have energy after a day's sightseeing, take advantage of the Hostel's central location by strolling along the seafront esplanade, window-shopping (the shops don't close until after 9pm), eating in one of the many nearby restaurants, or mixing with the locals on the "movida" (the main road which becomes a mecca of nightclubs and bars after 11pm!
