Tips for hikers and those interested in culture:
Pioppi is an ideal starting point for hiking tours, e.g. to Póllica, one of the nicest places in the western part of the Cilento. Following the valley of Mortelle, passing kitchen gardens, vineyards and fruit groves, you enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view of the Gulf of Ascea, the ancient ruins of Vélia and Capo Palinuro. You pass olive groves and cross fragrant macchia when finally descending to Acciaroli, from where busses take you back to Pioppi.
It is only a few kilometres to the old Greek town of Velia.
The place is also known for the excavations of the Greek town of Elea (today: Velia), which dates back to the 6th century BC.
Elea had a great reputation for its significant school of philosophy whose main representatives Parmenides and Xenon were the intellectual pioneers of the classical Greek philosophy of Plato and Aristotle; among other things, they taught the spherical shape of the earth.
