Acciaroli is an Italian hamlet (frazione) of Pollica (Province of Salerno), located in Campania region and the greatest one of its comune.

Geography

Acciaroli is a port of Cilento, at the Tyrrhenian Sea, and is largest of its "comune" (the other is the hamlet of Pioppi). The town is far 6 km from Pollica, 20 from Santa Maria di Castellabate, 17 from Velia, 30 from Agropoli, and 70 from Salerno.

Tourism

The town is a part of "Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park", which natural environment is composed of "Maquis", typical of mediterranean countries. It is strongly receptive for tourism, especially on summer; principally because it has gained a national fame due to the quality of its water, which give it the "Blue Flag beach", and the "5 sails" of Legambiente (an Italian environmentalist association) every summer from many years.

Culture

Some years after World War II, the place was one of the stays of the writer Ernest Hemingway, during his Italian trips.
