Things to Do in Amalfi
Plan your days in Amalfi, your way
Base in Amalfi town, where everything is walkable and the ferries fan out to everywhere else.
Day one: the cathedral, a swim at the town beach, and a slow wander up the back lanes past the old paper mills.
Day two: bus up to Ravello for the gardens at Villa Rufolo and a long lunch with a view over the coast.
Take the ferry to Positano for an afternoon — one gelato, one beach, one perfect photo — then home before dinner.
Eat scialatielli with seafood at a family-run trattoria in Atrani, five minutes' walk and a world away.
If you're feeling energetic, walk a stretch of the Path of the Gods; if not, nobody's judging, the bus is easy.
Order whatever the waiter recommends; on this coast, that strategy rarely fails.
Catch one sunset from a terrace bar in Amalfi and one from the water on the evening ferry.
Leave one day completely unplanned and see what the coast hands you.
It's the kind of trip where everything is good and nothing is hard, which is its own kind of perfect.
