About Amalfi
Amalfi itself is a living archive — a maritime republic whose Arab-Norman cathedral and paper mills sit within walking distance of each other — but the real depth of this coast lies in what surrounds it. Day trips reach Roman towns frozen by Vesuvius and Greek temples older than Rome, including the From Rome: Pompeii & Sorrento Amalfi Coast Day Trip and the Paestum & Velia: A Day Trip Through Millennia of History and Doric Temples, which trace the region's layers from Magna Graecia onward.

Frequently asked questions
Amalfi sits within reach of three distinct historical worlds: the Roman cities buried by Vesuvius, the Greek temples of Paestum and Velia, and the medieval maritime republics of the coast itself. A good day trip connects these layers with a guide who can explain them, rather than simply driving past ruins.
