Amalfi lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto within the province of Salerno. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery, Amalfi is modestly sized, and visitors can walk from one edge of the town to the other in 20 minutes. The town boasts sun-filled piazzas and small beaches; its many squares are connected by pedestrian streets flanked with souvenir shops, perfect for stocking up on cameo brooches and Limoncello. Also don’t miss a visit to the Duomo di Sant’Andrea Apostolo, the 9th century Roman Catholic structure. Ascend the steps and admire the beautiful mosaics and magnificent ceiling detail.
