A private half-day trip inland to one of Europe's largest monasteries, an almost surreal Baroque complex nobody associates with a Cilento port call.
What to expect
You'll be driven inland through Cilento's hills to Padula, arriving at a monastery whose scale is almost disorienting: a cloister larger than St. Peter's Square, elaborate majolica-tiled kitchens, and a spiral staircase built for dramatic effect. A guide walks you through the Carthusian monks' way of life and the complex's centuries of building.
Good to know
About 1 hour 15 minutes each way from Agropoli, so this needs a full private-driver half day; best for a longer port call. Confirm return timing carefully against all-aboard.
