Hotel
Tirreno is in front of the promenade gardens in Sapri, at 800 m. from
the port and 400 m. from the railway station. Behind the hotel there
is the town centre. It is nice and typical to walk under pines, eucalyptuses,
and other sorts of sea trees. And even more during the pedestrian precinct
hours turning the sea promenade into a large parlour with
several bars and meeting points.
Sapri takes root in the VIIIth century b.C.: the ancient Sapros was
a Sybarite colony of the Magna Grecia. A commune of the Bourbonic Reign,
this town was chosen in 1837 for the landing of Carlo Pisacane and his
Three-hundred men, who were slaughtered in the near Sanza, where a lapideous
stone in rimembrance of thei sacrifice, is still to be found. Luigi
Mercantini has handed down to posterity that heroic undertaking, by
famous poem "La Spigolatrice di Sapri".
Hotel Tirreno is strategically located: you can visit not only both
coastal and mountain typical towns of Cilento,
but also near famous places as Maratea,
Palinuro,
Marina
di Camerota; the ruins of Paestum,
Velia
(or Elea) and Fistelia;
the grottoes of Pertosa; the Charterhouse
of Padula ...
