Pollica: A Sleepy Coastal Town in Southern Italy
Situated in the region of Campania, in the Salerno province, Pollica, Italy is a town sitting at an altitude of 370 meters above the sea level. It is composed of five hamlets, namely Acciaroli (the bigger of the two sea villages of the town), Pioppi, Cannicchio, Galdo Cilento, and Celso. Guests can choose from a vast array of lodging spaces and inns around the coastal area of the city.
Best Time to Visit
While Pollica does not celebrate any major events for the year, you can always drive to the nearby city of Naples. Months of late March to late June are the best time to book your Pollica, Italy hotels as they are marked with pleasant weather and a festive mood at Naples. During these months, Naples hosts the Festa della Madonna dell'Arco on Eastern Monday (either March or April) and Processione delle Statue on the first Saturday of May. There are also several other events by this time of year, such as Wine & the City, Napoli Bike Festival, and Maggio dei Monumenti. Like most Italian cities, Pollica becomes busy in the summer, while the offseason begins in the fall.
