5 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE SALERNO

5 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE  SALERNO

1-   Ideal position by seaside in the South of Italy in a beautiful and famous touristic area: Amalfi Coast with Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento, Ravello; Pompei, Naples, Capri and Ischia; Cilento with Paestum and Palinuro, etc. All the main touristic sites are located at a few minutes by public transports.

2- There are other cool places that students can easily explore from Salerno. Like Paestum, an ancient Greek city founded in the 7th century B.C., which has some of the best ancient Greek ruins. Its Temple of Hera dates to 550 B.C. (500 years earlier than many of the buildings you can see in Pompeii!). You arrive there by bus in about 50 minutes.

3-   Salerno’s beach is big… and central: In Salerno there are beautiful beaches. They are a stone’s throw from the ancient city center, so students can get to them right from the Accademia Italiana.

4-   Low-cost of living.  In Salerno students can buy everything for less (Ex: 1 espresso+1 croissant= 1.20 eur; 1 big pizza margherita = Eur 3.50).

5-   Salerno is one of the most interesting towns on the Amalfi coast.

If you are looking for a shop to buy limoncello, ceramics and mozzarella, then come here. Salerno is a local town full of shops, restaurants and bars.

Furthermore students can visit:

·   One of the best-preserved ancient city centers in Italy, characterized by medieval, winding streets.

·        A castle, Castello di Arechi, dating back to the 6th century.

·        A number of museums, including the Museo Diocesano, with works of art including everything from medieval illuminated manuscripts to 17th-century paintings by Caravaggio’s followers; the Pinacoteca Regionale with paintings by artists like Andrea Sabatini (who worked with Raphael in the Vatican); and the Provincial Archaeological Museum with very interesting finds, including a 6th-century B.C. silver and gold crown.

·        Students can take advantage of  all the benefits of a town that is not a mass-tourism destination: they can practice the Italian language with the friendly local people who is not used to be in contact with tourists and they can taste the real Italian food and not something arranged only for tourists.
