Excursions
from the hotel
Our Hotel is situated in
Pontecagnano 50 metres from the sea in an ideal location for
every excursion in the region. From
Salerno
you can take a boat to Capri or to the
Amalfi
Coast
including the charming towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano. The
ferry-boat works from the half of March to the half of October.
During the winter time, there is a good connection to the Amalfi
coast by the SITA BUS company from Salerno train station. To
get to Capri's island there is a ferry boat every 45
minutes from the town of Sorrento. The Greek ruin of
Paestum
is13 miles away, and the famous
Pompeii
is only 20 miles.
Sorrento
is about 35 miles. You can also use public transportation to these
sites from the Hotel (the bus stop is in front of the Hotel), or
by guided excursions in English organized by our travel agency (only
during the summer time). If you want to tour sites on
your own, our hotel will happily advise you and provide maps,
schedules and brochures to help you create your perfect vacation
.

Campania
Because of its strategic position near the
lovely beaches south of Salerno, the Hotel Olimpico is an excellent place to
stay for those of you who would like to take day trips to visit the
beautiful Amalfi
coast: (Amalfi,
Positano,
Ravello,
Sorrento),
the isle of Capri,
Mount
Vesuvius, and the fascinating Roman ruins of Pompeii
and Herculaneum.
A short train journey south takes you to the Greek
temples of Paestum, and the Cilento Coast while only one hour north, you
can walk along the old streets of Naples
on the bay, and take a ferry or hydrofoil to the islands of Ischia,
and the less explored but beautiful Procida. To the island of Capri,
to Amalfi or Positano
we reccomend to take a ferry from the port of Salerno,
only 15 minutes away from our hotel.
