Amalfi Walking Tour
Amalfi, Italy
Why Walk Amalfi
Amalfi was once a powerful maritime republic rivaling Venice, Genoa, and Pisa. Today the town clusters around a small harbor beneath dramatic cliffs, with the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea dominating the piazza. The town gave its name to the entire coast — a UNESCO World Heritage stretch of dramatic coastline. Amalfi's paper-making tradition dates to the 13th century, when Arab techniques were adopted by local craftsmen.
