Founded probably in the 6th century A.d., Amalfi flourished between the 10th11th centuries as a powerful maritime republic, becoming a crossroads of the mediterranean. Amalfi is nestled between mountains and sea, with a rich historic center and charming pastel-colored alleys animated by bars, artisan shops (including the ancient tradition of Amalfi paper), and picturesque squares.
Amalfi is an extraordinary fusion of history and culture, natural beauty, and authentic atmosphere. For history, we find the duomo, the Paper museum, and the ancient arsenals. The Cathedral of St. Andrew dates back to the 11th century with a fusion of ArabNorman styles, mosaics, a bell tower decorated in majolica, and a crypt with the relics of the apostle. The Cloister of Paradise is adjacent to the Cathedral, an excellent example of medieval architecture. The ancient arsenal and the ziro Tower are testimonies of the maritime past, located around the port.
At the Paper museum, it is possible to discover the art of handmade paper that Amalfi exported to the world. For natural beauty, the focus is on the sea, lemons, and trails. marina grande beach is located in front of the port: a large organized area with umbrellas and sunbeds. The lemon Path, which connects Amalfi to Atrani or maiori, offers spectacular views through typical citrus groves.
Furthermore, here it is possible to find an authentic atmosphere, with a lively tourist heart featuring historic cafes, ice cream parlors, ceramic shops, limoncello, and summer clothing. Amalfi offers a perfect mix of elegance and authenticity: moments of “dolce vita” between walks to the port, markets, and aperitifs by the sea. Finally, the nautical convenience: the marina Coppola pier is the main mooring area in the port, managed by a historic local family with complete services for boats up to 33-35 meters in length and depths of 8-11 meters. maneuvering assistance, electricity (220v/380v), water, fuel supply, crane (15 tons), slipway, 24-hour surveillance, wi-Fi, mechanic and auto electrician services, laundry, galley provisions, and sea taxis/boats are offered.
