The city
Amalfi, which gave its name to the coast, was a prosperous maritime republic between the 9th and 12th centuries. Today it is the hub for boats and buses in the region. The cathedral of Sant'Andrea, with the Chiostro del Paradiso, dominates the square; the Museo della Carta tells the story of handmade paper; Atrani is a 10-minute walk away; and from there you can reach the Grotta dello Smeraldo and the Greek temples of Paestum.

The local experience
The cathedral of Sant'Andrea, at the top of a staircase above the Piazza Duomo, with a striped façade, a tiled campanile, the crypt of the apostle Andrew and the Chiostro del Paradiso beside it.
Old paper mill in the Vale dos Moinhos, with water-driven machines that made the carta di Amalfi, the town's handmade paper, and a demonstration of how a sheet is made by hand.
Village neighboring Amalfi, one of the smallest communes in Italy by area, with a bar square on the beach, narrow covered lanes and the church of Santa Maria Maddalena above the sea.
Sea grotto in Conca dei Marini, a few kilometers from Amalfi, where light entering through an underwater opening turns the sea emerald green. The visit is made by rowing boat inside the cave.
Ancient Greek city of Poseidonia, south of Salerno, with three large Doric temples standing, walls and a museum with the Tomba del Tuffatore. Day trip by train from Salerno.
