20 days in Amalfi Coast Itinerary

While often overshadowed by the Amalfi Coast's array of quaint villages, Salerno has become one of the region's main areas for culture and entertainment, while remaining relatively unmarked by tourism.

Venture out of the city with trips to Chiesa San Pietro Apostolo (in Cetara), Santa Maria de Olearia (in Maiori) and Minori (California Beach, Liquorificio Mansi Carlo, &more). There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to Promenade Trieste, admire the masterpieces at Museo della Ceramica Alfonso Tafuri, explore the different monuments and memorials at Salerno War Cemetery, and look for gifts at Sol’Art Ceramiche.
