Itinerary

1. 1

   Vietri sul Mare

   Pass by

   White, green and light blue, the typical colours of ceramic made in Vietri; these colours reflect in the waters the spirit of the village that was once a small port. Two rocks seen in the middle of the sea are called “I due fratelli” became the symbol of the village (according to the legend these rocks represent two brothers reunited after their death by the divinities of the sea). Vietri is very characteristic because of its white plaster rococo buildings, its sheltered narrow lanes, the laundry hanging outside, its balconies, fountains and the shop signs made of ceramic.

2. 2

   Stop 2

   Pass by

   A scenic tower which dates back to the XVI century, “Torre Crestarella”, built by the Spanish viceroy of Naples, Don Pedro de Toledo, dominates the beach which also carries the name of the tower. With its 120 metres of sand mixed with small pebbles, Crestarella beach is our first stop.

3. 3

   Cetara

   Pass by

   Afterwards, approaching Cetara, you will experience the illusion of looking at a small oasis: the reflection of the small houses sparkles on the water and the surrounding rocks of the strand. Catara was the ancient Saracen fortress and its name comes from Latin Cetariae, “tonnara” (tuna-fishing net).

4. 4

   Stop 4

   Pass by

   Further on we discover “Spiaggia dei Limoni”, a small bay 20 metres long accessible by sea only, a preserved place of beauty. It is nestled into a bushy lemon tree grove that dominates from above and a rocky wall sheltering it from the western breeze.

5. 5

   Torre La Cerniola

   Pass by

   Afterwards, between the sky and the sea, the tower of Erchie. At this point, you will feel as if you would never want to break the silence of such enchanting natural beauty. Here, peace and nature blend together. The Tower of Erchie, with its four machicolations at the top, is made of local calcareous stone and today is in very good condition, compared to the other towers of the coast. Its original shape has been preserved through the centuries, with its enchanting position on the rocks that fall into the calm waters.

6. 6

   Maiori

   30min

   Then we will pass Maiori, with its ancient marine style, characterized by art and cuisine, “an imaginary city, a history not completely lost…” (Salvatore Quasimodo). Near at Capo d'Orso, enjoy swimming in the blue water.

7. 7

   Minori

   Pass by

   Next, we will see Minori, the city of flavour, where limoncello, pasta and traditional pastries are produced. The typically tapered lemons have excellent organic and medicinal properties and are an essentiel ingredient of Amalfi Coast cuisine.

8. 8

   Conca dei Marini

   Pass by

   When the sky seems to blend into the sea, it is time to approach Conca dei Marini, where in 1700 a shell-shaped cake was baked for the first time in Santa Rosa monastery. It was made of thousands of thin puff pastries rolled into each other, filled with custard and black cherries: the so called “sfogliatella di Santa Rosa”.
