From the top of the Acropolis of the Elea-Velia Archaeological Park, in the shade of the large olive trees, next to the theatre, one can glimpse one of the most beautiful coastal stretches of Cilento.
The empathy game takes place in an instant. It is from that sea that the Phocaeans arrived with their boats, philosophers such as Parmenides and Zeno walked on that pavement together with the disciples.
The guided tour starts from the lower area of ??the archaeological site overlooking the ancient coast line (the so-called southern district), then climbing up a suggestive road flanked by Mediterranean scrub, you arrive on the promontory, which the inhabitants of the polis had destined as a sacred area. Finally we arrive at the famous Porta Rosa. The union of archeology and landscape is an important element in Elea-Velia, an aspect of charm and a distinctive feature of the archaeological areas of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park.
