How to get to Amalfi
The city of Amalfi is considered the “heart” of the Amalfi Coast of the same name in Italy. Amazingly picturesque, Amalfi attracts tourists with its natural landscapes, man-made monuments, and clear sea. Situated on the slopes of steep cliffs, the city is partially built like terraces, where the roofs of houses are also someone’s floor.
It’s pleasant to walk here at any time of the year; the local climate is quite mild. In the summer season, the number of tourists increases, since Amalfi can also be considered as a beach resort; there are small pebble beaches equipped with everything necessary with a warm and gentle sea, in which there are almost no waves.
Among the options for getting to Amalfi, travel from Naples or Rome is preferable. The thing is that these cities have international arrival airports where flights from Russia, among other things, land. Airplanes from various companies fly to Rome all year round, to Naples only in the summer (flights are operated by S7). You can check flight schedules to Rome and Naples on search sites Aviasales, Buruki and others. The flight time will be approximately 4 hours. Among the ways to get to Amalfi from Moscow, these two are the most relevant; from other cities of Russia, a transfer in Moscow is accordingly required.

Joe Ross/Amalfi Amalfi attractions
People come to Amalfi primarily for the natural scenery. The town is located on a rocky cliff, and slender houses nestle on terraced ledges. At the very foot of the cliff, in secluded bays, there are several pebble and sand beaches. This is how the Amalfi coast differs from the Ligurian coast, where the rocky shores go straight into the sea. In the town itself, several historical monuments have been preserved, the largest of which is the Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called. In addition, Amalfi is surrounded by lemon groves, which are ideal for hiking.
When strolling through Amalfi, it is impossible to miss Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called. It is located in the central square of the resort - Piazza Duomo. The exterior of the cathedral is quite unusual for Italy; Byzantine motifs are easily discernible in it. Another decoration of the cathedral is the tower, which proudly rises above all the buildings of Amalfi.
After wandering through the old streets of the city, from where panoramic views of the sea open from different sides, go on boat trips. This can be done from the local marina, where excursion trips on boats and motorboats are offered to guests. The most interesting option for such a trip would be a visit to the famous Emerald Grotto– caves in one of the coastal rocks, hidden from prying eyes. This grotto is lined with salt deposits, which is why the color of the water here is almost emerald. You can go down to the grotto using a specially equipped elevator.
If you want to visit other towns on the Amalfi Coast, you can do this by public transport. There is a bus service between the cities. You can leave from the nearest bus stop. Thus, the distance from Amalfi to Positano will be 18.5 km, to Ravello – 7 km, to Maiori – 6 km.
Giuseppe Milo/Amalfi Cathedral
It's hard to imagine a holiday in Amalfi without a beach component. And although the local beaches cannot be called the best in Italy, they are still very popular among vacationers on Amalfi. Most of the beaches in Amalfi are paid, and you need to be prepared for this. By paying the entrance fee, you will have the opportunity to use sun loungers, umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach. Another feature of local beaches is their size.
Amalfi beaches are quite small and can get quite crowded in the summer. The coverage of the local beaches is pebble or sand and pebbles, the entrance to the sea is gentle, and there are almost no waves. The beaches of Amalfi are suitable for families with children, if a pebble surface is acceptable for you; in all other respects, the local beaches are not inferior to the beaches in other resorts in Italy.
Kyle Taylor/Amalfi Beaches I imagined the city of Amalfi to be completely different. Since it competed with Genoa, Venice and Pisa at sea, it should have looked like one of these cities. But in reality, Amalfi turned out to be a small city, squeezed by mountains, stretching along a narrow valley.
You get to the city by sea or by road (details on how to get there -). In any case, the traveler finds himself in the wide square of Flavio Gioia.
(I would like to immediately warn you that in the article I used photographs of two trips: February and May, so do not be surprised that the people in the photographs will be either wearing jackets or shorts).
The square is named after the local navigator Flavius Joya, who lived in the 13th-14th centuries and invented (according to another version, improved) the compass. There is a fountain with his sculpture on the square.
There is a gate at the entrance to the city Porta della Marina. And everyone, naturally, first of all passes through them to the city in order to quickly see the famous St. Andrew's Cathedral.
From the monastery along the Passeggiata Longfellow and the stairs we go down to the sea, to the beach of the Sirens and piazzalle dei Prototini.

The heart of the magnificent Amalfi Coast. Be sure to visit this city if you are traveling along the coast.
How to get there
By plane
By train
The Amalfi Coast is served by two main railway stations: Salerno, which serves Eurostar and regional trains to and from Italy, and the local Circumvesuviana station in Sorrento, which connects it with Naples and the ruins of Pompeii.
By bus
The local company SITA provides transfers throughout the Amalfi Coast: bus routes to Sorrento via Positano and Praiano and further to the Fjord Furore, Conca dei Marini and the Emerald Grotto. Buses also run from Salerno to Amalfi via Minori, Ravello, Cetara and Vietri sul Mare. Local buses connect Amalfi with Ravello, Furore, Pogerola, Agerola and Naples.
Positano is approximately 40 minutes from Amalfi (depending on speed). The trip to Amalfi from Sorrento lasts from 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours (depending on traffic). Vacationers mainly come here in July-August, so the buses are often crowded. Try to be one of the first at the stop when the bus arrives. If you don't have time, you'll have to wait for the next one.
Traveling along the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento Peninsula by bus is convenient if you are not prone to seasickness. SITA offers comfortable transport with experienced drivers who can drive on winding roads as calmly as on the highway.
What you should know before taking the bus
Tickets are purchased in advance - in bars, some of which have black and white Tabacchi signs, or in shops selling lottery tickets. The SITA logo can also be seen at the ticket offices at Salerno railway station. If the bar doesn't sell SITA bus tickets, you can always ask where to find them - they will usually help you.
Once you board the bus, cut your ticket using the yellow or orange machine that you will see when you go up the stairs. If you have any difficulties, ask the driver to help you. During the trip, tickets are usually checked, and if yours is intact, you will have to pay a fine.
By car
Renting a car is very easy (for example), but driving in southern Italy is not for the faint of heart. The roads of the Amalfi Coast are very narrow and run through rocky terrain, but along them there are many beautiful places and small towns that can only be reached by your own car.
Scooters are suitable for adventurous people, but precision driving is important here.
Excellent ferry and bus connections and the need to pay for parking may reduce your desire to hire a car.
Amalfi is 270 km from Rome, 70 km from Naples, 60 km from Avellino and 85 km from Caserta.
By ferry
The ferry season opens on Easter weekend and runs until the end of October. Ferries operate between Amalfi and Positano, Salerno, Capri, Naples and Sorrento. Ferries are an extension of the city's public transport, and the Metro del Mare is headquartered in Naples. This operator connects the northern ports of Bacoli and Pozzuoli with Naples, and from there ferries go to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. You can check the schedule in local newspapers (“Il Mattino” or “La Repubblica”).
Also in Amalfi is the headquarters of the ferry operator “Coop Sant" Andrea. It sends ferries from Salerno to Amalfi and Positano, from Amalfi to Salerno and Positano, from Positano to Amalfi and Salerno, and in the summer connects Amalfi, Minori and. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office, which is located at the main pier of Amalfi - Molo Pennello, or at Divina Costiera, opposite the SITA bus station.
There are also private yacht tours and tickets can be purchased at the Molo Pennello pier.

Amalfi Coast (Italy)
Amalfi is a coastline in Southern Italy in the Campania region, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located between the cities of Naples and Salerno in the southern part of the Sorrento Peninsula. Amalfi is one of the most beautiful places in Italy: colorful houses on the mountain slopes, beautiful beaches and picturesque Mediterranean landscapes.
Geography and climate
The coast occupies the south of the Sorrento Peninsula and is located near the Gulf of Salerno. The relief is predominantly mountainous. The climate is Mediterranean humid subtropical.
Story
In ancient times, the Amalfi Coast was part of the Roman Empire. The villas of wealthy Romans were located here. During the Greco-Gothic War, the inhabitants of the coast allied with the Byzantines, who as a result gave them greater autonomy. In 839, Amalfi was conquered by the Lombard principality of Salerno, but a few months later it again became part of the Byzantine Empire. A little later, the Amalfi Republic was formed, which for some time competed even with Genoa and Pisa. In the 12th century, the republic was transformed into a duchy, gradually losing its independence and its importance.
How to get there
The nearest major airport is in Naples. From there you can go to Salerno or Sorrento, which have regular bus services to Amalfi (the city that is the capital of the coast).
Attractions
The main attraction of Amalfi is its beautiful natural landscapes and charming towns that fit perfectly into the landscape.
The town of Amalfi is the capital of the coast and has a cute, provincial charm. Its main attraction is the ancient cathedral of the 10th century.

Capri is a truly magical place and one of the most popular destinations on the Amalfi Coast. This island is located just off its western edge. Capri can be reached from several coastal towns. The island is known for its stunning scenery, many beautiful beaches and superb mountain views.
Furore is a town that is often overlooked but has many attractions and is a fantastic place to visit on the central coast. The roads leading to Furore are very scenic and pass craggy limestone cliffs and terraces covered with vineyards. Here you can find beautifully painted murals decorating the walls of some houses and shops. These murals were hand-painted and show some scenes from coastal life.
Italy offers many luxurious resorts on its territory. Amalfi is one of the most prestigious and visited. This small seaside town has an ancient history and amazes with its outlandish beauty. Every traveler must visit this interesting place. You will learn about the sights of Amalfi from this article.
How to get there?
And Italy will greet you with luxurious sights. Amalfi is located in the province of Salerno, on the coast of the picturesque Gulf of Salerno. Capodichino International Airport (Naples) is located just 70 kilometers from the resort. You can get to Amalfi by car, but the road to the resort is so difficult (many dangerous turns) that it is better to travel along it by public transport.

The latter will take you to Amalfi in half an hour, the journey will cost 15 euros.
A little history
Presumably Amalfi, the photo of which is presented in this article, was founded in the 4th century by Constantine the First. It received its modern name in the middle of the 9th century, during the reign of the Amalfi family. This was the heyday of the city. The most successful center of maritime trade constantly grew and developed: magnificent temples were built here, buildings of amazing beauty and style were erected, and luxurious gardens were planted on their roofs.
It was in this glorious city that the “Amalfi Maritime Law” was created - a document according to which the rules of trade at sea were regulated. It operated throughout Italy until 1570. After some time, the reins of government of the city were taken over by the Duke of Salerno, after whose dynasty the local bay was named. However, then the importance of Amalfi as the largest seaport in the region began to wane.
After it was plundered by the Normans in 1100 and by the Pisans in 1135, the city’s prosperity began to deteriorate. whose number exceeded 50,000 people began to actively leave Amalfi in search of a better life. Those who remained earned their living by producing liquor, expensive paper, pasta and fishing. In 1343, a monstrous storm occurred at sea in the vicinity of the city, destroying half of the buildings along with the inhabitants. After the disaster, Amalfi began to be rebuilt, and by the 19th century the city's embankment was completely restored, again building luxurious buildings on it, which then turned into comfortable hotels. In 1852, an unusually beautiful road 15 kilometers long appeared in Amalfi, stretching across the entire city and called by many travelers the most romantic in the world.
Inventor of the compass
It is impossible to describe all the sights of Amalfi (a map of the city is presented in the article) in a few words. One of the most significant is the monument to Flavio Joya, the man who invented the compass. All Italians are confident in this, despite the fact that many researchers attribute this know-how to the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. But it’s not worth mentioning this in Amalfi. Accept that at the entrance to the city there is a monument to the man who invented the compass in the mid-13th century. Many believe that without this device Columbus would not have been able to discover America.
Cathedral
Amalfi is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The sights of the city are of great historical value. The visiting card of the resort is the cathedral, built in honor of St. Andrew the First-Called. The architectural originality of this building is amazing. It was built in the 9th-10th centuries in a unique Norman-Byzantine style. The majestic bell tower of the temple is decorated with colorful tiles. You have to enter the cathedral through huge gates, forged in 1065 in Constantinople. Images of Christian saints are still preserved on the silver-inlaid doors. Any resident of Amalfi is sure that the relics of St. Andrew the First-Called are kept in the cathedral. They lie in the underground room of the temple, under a marble sarcophagus. Orthodox services are held daily over the remains of one of Christ’s disciples. On the square in front of the cathedral there is a monument to St. Andrew the First-Called.
Cemetery
One of the most visited places in the resort city is the local cemetery, which is called the “Paradise Courtyard”. It is the burial place of many generations of local residents who lived in the city in ancient times. The cemetery was built in the 13th century by order of the Bishop of Augustaricchio for the burial of wealthy citizens. Now it is one of the most valuable architectural monuments on the entire Italian coast. The cemetery is decorated with a series of exquisite, sophisticated arches that intertwine with each other. They are elegantly supported by double columns made in a fancy Byzantine-Arabic style. The cemetery has a magnificent garden of palm trees and this ancient place invites you to think about the eternal; wandering along its paved paths is very interesting.
Paper Museum
Italy has always been famous for the production of exquisite and rare things. The Amalfi people at one time were engaged in the production of expensive paper, which was then used for official documents. Until the mid-20th century, dozens of paper mills operated on the banks of the river flowing through the city. Most of them were destroyed by floods. The Amalfi Paper Museum is one of the most interesting places. Unique machines and samples of various papers made in the old way by processing rags are exhibited here. The rarest books made from fabulously expensive local paper are kept in the famous museum. Amalfi has been known throughout the world as a center of the paper industry since 1200.
Beach
All of Italy is rightfully proud of this resort city with rare sights. (Costiera Amalfitana) is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the entire country. The city's beach is a strip of several hundred meters consisting of pebbles. On one side it is limited by a pier, on the other by rocks. There are no strong waves here. One part of the beach is municipal, the other, larger, is private property and is divided between several coastal restaurants. There is a rescue service here; sun loungers and umbrellas are available for a fee (15-20 euros for two). Everywhere there is a fresh water shower so that tourists can freshen up on a hot afternoon and wash off the sand and salt. Cool drinks and various foods are brought to the beach from the bar. Swimming in the clear waters of the Gulf of Salerno is a separate, incomparable pleasure.
Kitchen
Amalfi is famous all over the world for its exquisite cuisine. The restaurants of this glorious city hospitably open their doors to numerous visitors. Among the establishments there are both simple, family-run and pretentious ones, awarded with prestigious awards. An excellent restaurant is Trattoria da Baracca in Piazza dei Dogi, whose menu includes seafood, pasta with fish, baked in the oven, and the best octopus salad in Amalfi. There is another establishment on the coast - Lo Smeraldino. They serve delicious fish with lemon and the finest pizza. La Caravella restaurant has been awarded one and has been a leading local establishment for many years.
