Maiori

Maiori, The Largest Beach on the Coast

Maiori's wide stretch of beach that covers about a kilometer of Italian coastline in fine and large-grain sand is the town's top attraction, making it a lively and popular destination, especially for families. Italy's Amalfi Coast does not have many spacious sandy beaches; the coastline is instead home to countless tiny coves lined with rocks or small beaches with pebbles worn smooth by the waves, many of which are already crowded with visitors at the first light of day.

The town of Maiori's main seafront beach was formed as a result of the catastrophic floods of 1954 which destroyed the whole of the historic center and is located right next to the rebuilt modern center, easy to reach on foot from anywhere in town and sitting at the bottom of the main Corso Reginna. There is a section of free public beach and a number of private beach clubs that rent loungers and sun umbrellas, restrooms, and showers. There is also a lovely waterfront promenade with restaurants, cafés, and shops , another rare sight on the Amalfi Coast. The downside of the large beach is that Maiori has a less "postcard-perfect" atmosphere than Amalfi and Positano, with a large urban center and a clutch of modern buildings.

How to Get to Maiori

The historic town of Maiori is one of the most vibrant on the Amalfi Coast, with a friendly Mediterranean vibe that harks back to its origins as an ancient Roman resort town. Strategically located next to Minori and between Amalfi (and Ravello) and Capo d'Orso and home to the largest beach on the coastline, Maiori is one of the top spots in Campania for families with children.

Maiori is located just before Amalfi along the Strada Statale 163 from Vietri Sul Mare , where you'll need to exit from the A3 highway. You can also take the Sita bus, Salerno - Amalfi line .

How to Get to the Amalfi Coast

Other Beaches in Maiori

amalfi coast tours from maiori

Maiori is home to another, smaller sandy beach located in Erchie that stretches about 200 meters and has both public free areas and beach clubs. There are two Norman towers overlooking the coastline that make the Erchie beach uniquely picturesque and popular among locals and visitors. Other nearby beaches that we recommend you visit include the Spiaggia di Glauco, Capo d’Orso , and the wild Cala Bellavaia , known locally as the Spiaggia del Cavallo Morto.

The Norman Tower

amalfi coast tours from maiori

Looming over the main Maiori beach, the Norman Tower is the symbol of this small town and can be seen both from the sea and from the coastal road, announcing to visitors that they have arrived. Once known as the Torre dell'Angolo, this watchtower was built in 1563 to protect the coastline of Maiori from pirate and enemy attacks by sea. Still today, with its impressive bastions that seem to blend into the rocks of the coast below, this tower remains one of the most striking of the many watchtowers that line the Amalfi Coast. The "Torre Normanna" in Maiori is now home to an elegant restaurant that is very popular in the summer, so be sure to book in advance. We suggest visiting the tower at sunset or in the evening when it is romantically lit. For spectacular photos, try to visit the tower when the sea is stormy and the waves crash against its base.

The Grottoes of Maiori

From Maiori, book a boat tour to visit the Grotta di Pandora , located just a few minutes away along the coastline. This grotto can only be visited by sea either with an organized boat tour or with a private boat rental. The Grotta di Pandora is a popular diving site, and boasts striking emerald waters and dramatic rock formations beneath the waves. You can enter the grotto on board a boat (with the engine off). Another coastal highlight is the Grotta Sulfurea , called by some in Maiori the Grotta Suffregna, which can also be entered on board small rowboats. This grotto gets its name from the sulfuric waters that spring directly into the grotto, which can be seen with the naked eye from above. Be sure to stop for a swim in these curative waters that are a mix of sulfuric and marine.

Art Masterpieces in Maiori

Like the other jewels along the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri, Maiori is more than just a resort town but is also home to beautiful and important historic and cultural treasures. Visit the Chiesa di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano and the Church of Santa Maria (officially the Collegiata Santuario di Santa Maria a Mare), known for its majolica-tiled cupola that is common among the historic churches along the Amalfi Coast. If you are interested in sacred art, stop to visit the Museo degli Arredi Sacri adjacent the church. You can also stop to admire the Renaissance Church of San Francesco.

Just outside of town, the monumental complex of Santa Maria de’ Olearia sits inside an immense cliffside cavern along the road from Salerno. Considered one the most important Benedictine monastic settlements in this area, the monastery includes three small churches containing numerous medieval frescoes dedicated to the Virgin Mary and San Nicola.

The Maiori Castle document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { OndaExtra.lightGallery(document.getElementById('037941ad25fc63'), { thumbnail: true, selector: '.lightgallery-item' }); }); Kids (and their parents) will love the Castle of San Nicola (or the Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano ), a mysterious 11th-century fortress that is partially in ruins sitting atop a particularly panoramic hill above Maiori. If you're lucky, you may even be able to visit with Mastro Crescenzo, the custodian of the fortress and local historian who knows all the legends and lore of Maiori and is happy to share anecdotes about the castle and town. The Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano is open daily from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to p.m. Confirm opening times before heading up the hill!

Maiori may not have the beauty of Amalfi and Positano , but it is the perfect base if you're looking for an accessible town with a large beach that is less expensive than other towns along the Amalfi Coast or Sorrento Peninsula.

Where to Eat in Maiori

Book a table at the Torre Normanna for a spectacularly romantic dinner. For Michelin-starred dining, choose Faro di Capo d'Orso in Maiori, known for its cellar that stocks more than 1,000 different labels.

Where to Sleep in Maiori

Of the many Maiori hotels, one of our favorites is the beautiful Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro , a 5-star luxury hotel with panoramic views, jacuzzi, and private gym. Check in and unwind in the exotic garden, an unforgettable spot to relax on the coast.

Maiori: the family friendly Amalfi Coast town you’ll love

All you need to know about Maiori, Italy a family friendly town on the Amalfi Coast .

If you are looking for a pretty, family friendly town on the Amalfi coast, than look no further than the resort town of Maiori.

Located right on the coast, in a beautiful and scenic location Salerno and Amalfi town , Maiori has a pretty seafront, a historic church with beautiful tiled domes, a relaxing city center and the tall coastline and stunning views that make this area of Italy so special.

Maiori is pleasant and, compared with other towns in the area, has a more modern feel and flatter geography.

This makes it particularly inviting for families with young kids and strollers or anyone who is worried about the accessibility of this area, in many locations hard to negotiate if you have any nobility issues. .

These are the best things to see and do in Maiori

The maiori promenade.

The town of Maiori develops between the coast and the mountains, a scenic position that makes it perfect to enjoy both sea and mountain view.

Maiori italy view of the harbor

The town has a large and flat seafront promenade that is a perfect for lazy summer days.

The promenade has pretty trees, nice benches to rest and watch life pass by, a lovely playground for kids and a plethora of cafes and restaurant where to indulge I the specialties of the area.

The promenade is right beside the harbor and marina and it is easy to enjoy at all ages since it poses no mobility issues and its mostly flat.

Castello Mezzocapo and Norman Tower

The promenade has two beautiful landmarks which make a lovely start and end point for your walk.

Above the harbor, perched on a tall cliff, you will see the beautiful Castello Mezzocapo, which looks like a castle from a fairytale complete with pointy turrets, now a fantastic hotel.

Harbor of Maiori Italy

At the other end of the promenade, you will see the stunning Norman Tower, which is beautiful to see from the promenade and it is also an elegant location for events and a special dinner.

Maiori Church

A little farther up the road towards the mountains, lies the beautiful church of Santa Maria al Mare.

steps up to Maiori church

The church towers above the rest of the city and what is special about it is its beautiful tiled dome, shining in the sun with yellow and green tiles.

Tiled domes are traditional of this area and what is great about this one is that you can see it from up close: since the church is on a slope, the path allows you to see the dome at eye level -wonderful!

Dome of church in Maiori, Amalfi Coast, Italy

Maiori Main street: Corso Reginna

Corso Reginna is the main commercial street in Maiori and starts/finishes at the seafront.

It is a large, flat road with a pedestrian part and it has a lot of shops and cafes: this road is one of the main reasons why i recommend Maiori as a base if visiting the Amalfi Coast with kids.

Unlike other localities this is an easy place where to have a stroll with a toddlers or a stroller – find why we recommend bringing a stroller to Italy and our tips here.

Have Lemon Granita

Maiori is famous for the production of lemons, the main ingredient of many regional dishes and the star ingredient of limoncello , typical of this area.

You can taste local lemons in many ways but one that is usually a hit with the whole family is granita , an icy and lemon sweet dessert perfect on hot summer days.

Lemon granita di limone

Walk Sentiero dei limoni

Maiori is connected to nearby Minori by a historical, scenic path called ‘the path of lemons’ ( sentiero dei limoni ).

This is a lovely, easy walks that allows you to see the many lemon groves of the area and also catch stunning views over the coast and the town below.

This is one of the best things to do in Maiori and while the path is not stroller friendly, a lovely walk to have with kids too.

Maiori with kids

As mentioned above, I believe Maiori is one of the best places on the Amalfi Coast for families with small kids.

The flat geography of the town, the nice beach and the playground on the seafront make up for the modern feel of the city and make it a functional base for visiting the Amalfi Coast with children.

Playground in Maiori Italy

How to get to Maiori

Maiori is well connected to Salerno and the rest of the coast by frequent buses and ferries, as well as the costiera , the scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast.

The best way to reach the town is by ferry: regular ferries connect Maiori with Salerno, Amalfi and Positano and allow you to move around fast and catching the stunning views of this stretch of coast – the Amalfi Coast is best seen from the water.

if you prefer to drive, make sure you arrange parking in advance with your hotel as parking in the area is tricky and potentially expensive.

I hope you enjoyed this quick overview of the best things to see and do in Maiori Italy. Safe travel planning!

Maiori, Amalfi Coast – The Quintessential Charm of Italy

If you want a place with majestic natural beauty, look no further than Maiori, Amalfi Coast. The town resides along the Tyrrhenian Sea which offers its visitors breathtaking views of the coast. Maiori is known for its peaceful atmosphere and offers a respite to those who want to get away from the more popular, touristy destinations along the Amalfi Coast .

Feel like going back in time to the Italy of old? Maiori’s preserved, medieval sites can make you feel as if you’re a part of history. For those who want to explore, there are more than enough hiking trails that you can take such as the Path of Lemons (described below). It is also the perfect spot to take day trips to other renowned spots on the Amalfi Coast.

But before we go into great detail about this jewel of the Amalfi Coast, we should learn more about its location.

The Perfect Amalfi Coast Itinerary You’ll Want to Steal (1 or 5 – 7 Day Stay Ideas)

By: Author Charlotte

Posted on Last updated: 31st May 2024

Categories Italy , Itineraries

Last Updated on 31st May 2024 by Sophie Nadeau

The gorgeous and dramatic stretch of the Amalfi Coast is like no other place in Italy, or indeed the world. Best explored over several days to truly soak up the area’s ambience, sample a smattering of local dishes, and enjoy several gorgeous sunsets, here’s your ultimate Amalfi Coast Itinerary .

amalfi coast itinerary

I have created a one-day in the Amalfi Coast suggested itinerary (see below), but if you’re staying longer, there are suggestions for 5 days or 7 days on the Costiera Amalfitana .

The first five days will concentrate solely on the Amalfi Coast, while day six and seven will be spent at nearby attractions and destinations. If you don’t have a full week available, then you can follow just the first five days of this itinerary.

amalfi coast views

Where is the Amalfi Coast?

What if you only have one day on the amalfi coast, day 1 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: positano and the path of the gods , day 2 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: furore, praiano & san michele , day 3 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: amalfi, atrani, ravello & pontone , day 4 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: minori, maiori, vietri sul mare & cetara, day 5 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: capri or boat ride & dinner in sorrento, day 6 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: pompeii and herculaneum, day 7 on the amalfi coast suggested itinerary: naples.

The Amalfi Coast is in Southern Italy, just south of the city of Naples (the 4th largest metropolitan area in Italy). Located in the Province of Salerno (which is one of the largest towns on the stretch of coastline), Amalfi is a particular length of coastline of the Salerno Gulf on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The Amalfi Coast draws millions of visitors every year thanks to its dramatic coastal towns, stunning turquoise blue waters, and winding narrow streets. Please note that the name Amalfi is not only used to designate the stretch of coastline but is also the name of one of the most prominent towns on the coastal stretch.

If you only have one day to spend on the Amalfi Coast then I recommend focusing on the major sites that the area has to offer: Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano. I would personally start by heading to Ravello, where hilltop villas overlook the mountainous sea cliffs that the region is so famous for.

Then, you’ll want to head on to Amalfi where the glitzy glamour of the town soon becomes apparent. Some of the must-see things to do in town include a visit to the Paper Museum , sipping on limoncello at the Amalfi Lemon Experience and wandering through the Cloisters of Paradise .

If you would prefer for all of the transport details to be taken care of for you, then I would opt for a boat cruise (cruises depart from Salento regularly, but typically a full-day one begins first thing in the morning).

Amalfi Coast suggested itinerary

For this itinerary, you’ll want to have access to your own vehicle. I recommend renting the smallest car possible (which is typically a Fiat 500) so that you can complete this suggested driving route at your leisure.

sorrento cloisters

Start your travels by visiting undoubtedly the most famous town on the Amalfi Coast, Positano. Nestled between an enclave of mountainous hills, the town is famed for its splash of colourful pastel-hued houses that are dreamily painted across the jagged coastline.

Positano is abundant with things to do , however, the town itself is quite small so can easily be seen in a day, still leaving time for you to explore the Path of Gods hiking trail and soak up breathtaking views.

Begin your day by simply wandering around and getting lost in Positano’s winding maze of narrow streets, from here you are likely to come across a cosy café where you can start by indulging in a  traditional Italian breakfast .

After breakfast head to see the little miniature village models (generally small shrines to honour the Virgin Mary), which can be found scattered across the towns of the Amalfi Coastline and are often tucked away in a roadside.

models of positano

Then, head to the beach! Of course, one of the greatest joys of visiting coastal towns is their abundance of beautiful beaches. Spiaggia Grande is the main beach of Positano, but there are four beaches in total to choose from. Generally, Arienzo Beach Club is the quietest as it’s only reachable by boat or a steep set of stairs.

Enjoy a seaside lunch, thanks to the obvious proximity to the sea, here is where you’ll find some of the finest and freshest seafood you can imagine! Although, it’s worth noting that if you wish to have a sit-down meal in the town be sure to book in advance, particularly during the peak season.

Spend the afternoon doing one of the most popular activities in the town, shopping. Positano is particularly well-known for its clothing boutiques, handmade sandals, and colourful ceramics which feature local motifs such as lemons and olives.

shopping in positano

Once the temperatures have cooled a little in the late afternoon, take yourself on the Amalfi Coast’s most popular hiking route and marvel at stunning views that are sure to take your breath away! The Path of Gods is considered to be a moderately challenging route so wear comfy shoes and bring lots of water.

End your day with a limoncello spritz, a sunset view and a delicious dinner! Many people say that the best time to see Positano is after dark when the pastel houses are illuminated and moonlight is reflected across the water…and to be honest, I couldn’t agree more.

Travel to a “town that doesn’t exist” thanks to the fjord-like gorge that sits bang in the middle of it. As there’s no main square, or town for that matter, your visit to Furore will be centred around visiting the natural landscape and beach.

Furore is famed for its impressive huge stone arch that connects over a magnificent sparkling gorge. Spend the morning here hiking, exploring the hidden coves and taking a dip in the warming waters of the Mediterranean Sea on the hidden pebble beach below the arch.

furore

Next, head to another quiet town which is perched high above on the cliffs, Praiano. Find somewhere to grab lunch, Ristorante Il Pino offers spectacular views overlooking the azure sea, or you could head to a shop and pick up some local delights to enjoy on the main beach Marina di Praia tucked between two looming cliff faces.

Spend a little time exploring Praiano, the village is pretty small so you’ll only need 2-3 hours depending on how long you choose to sit and soak up the leisurely pace of life here. A particular highlight not to be missed when visiting is the beautiful Church of St. Gennaro, which stands as the only building of baroque architecture along the Amalfi Coast. 

Head over to the neighbouring town, San Michele ******

What you may not know is that the Amalfi Coast takes its name from the jewel town, Amalfi itself. According to legends, the Roman god Hercules fell in love with a nymph called Amalfi. When she died, Hercules wanted to bury her in the most beautiful place on earth and thus decided on this town.

First, stop for coffee and a sweet pastry and enjoy breakfast like a local! Then, start exploring Amalfi town by visiting some of its most unique sights. You’ll likely need to set aside 2-3 hours to see the town, possibly more time if you want to relax on the beach as well.

See centuries-old machinery at work for yourself at The Paper Museum, then learn and taste sun-kissed  lemons  at the Amalfi Lemon Experience. Also not to be missed is the small pocket of peace, The Cloister of Paradise, which is set within the town’s Duomo and was built between 1266 and 1268. 

On the street,  Ruga Nova Mercatorum , you’ll find shops selling treasures such as  traditional homemade ceramics , which make for the perfect souvenir to bring home and remember your trip!

amalfi duomo

Next, take a short ten-minute walk through a not-so-obvious pedestrian tunnel  (as if walking through a secret passageway)  and you’ll find the charming fishing village, Atrani. This tiny village is attached to that of Amalfi, so many people often think of it as the same place. 

Here you can spend some time relaxing on the beach, which is often quieter than that of the bustling Amalfi Town and grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants by the waterfront. Le Palme serves mouthwatering Italian pizza and offers vegan options.

amalfi coast tours from maiori

After filling up with delicious Italian food, you can either hike to the next town or drive (the hike from Amalfi to Ravello takes approximately 50 minutes one-way).

Walking along paths rich with history which boast spectacular views is truly an enchanting way to reach the beautiful town of Ravello . However, the route can be quite challenging, with quite a few steep inclines at points, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Once in Ravello, you will be able to explore treasures such as the immaculate gardens of a historic villa which dates back to the 11th century and is a beautiful example of Italianate architecture. Here, you will also find the Terrace of Infinity, which is as romantic as the name suggests, offering views overlooking the picture-perfect town and beyond.

Ravello is full of charm and ideally, you’ll want to set aside 3-4 hours for your visit. Particularly if you happen to be visiting during July and August as the town comes to live with a two-month-long festival celebrating all things music!

A Guide to the Best Things to do in Ravello, Amalfi Coast

End your day in the hilltop village of Pontone, the oldest settlement of the Amalfi Coast. Thanks to its position atop the hillside of Mount Pontone, the village boasts stunning views as well as being an idyllic spot for (even more) hiking in the surrounding nature trails!

The village can be reached by foot from Amalfi if you are willing to climb the steep ascent of 750 steps (which may be a lot considering the amount of hiking already). The picturesque medieval village is the prime spot to watch the sunset, and there are a few local restaurants where you can have dinner.

Begin another delightful day on the Amalfi Coast in the charming town of Minori. This small town is a little lesser known so start the day off wandering the narrow maze of streets and soaking up the tranquility of the town as you sip on morning coffee.

One of the must-see sights in the quaint town is the lemon-coloured cathedral, Basilica of Saint Trofimena which is dedicated to the female saint, Trofimena. Then, book yourself on a ‘Lemon Tour’ and immerse yourself in the old rural life, learning all about the cultivation and importance of lemons to the coastline heritage.

You can walk from Minori to Maiori via the Path of Lemons, which is one of the most evocative trails that takes you through an abundance of lemon groves (the walk takes 1.5 hours and is moderately challenging).

amalfi lemon

In Maiori stop for lunch and soak up the views, then head to the beach, which is the biggest stretch of beach in the whole of the Amalfi Coast! A historic Norman Tower looms over the beach. Here you can relax, go for a dip and explore Grotta del Pandora , which are hidden coves only reachable by sea.

Spend the afternoon in the ‘Ceramic Capital of the Coast’ , Vietri sul Mare . You’ll want to set aside at least 2-3 hours minimum to fully experience the charm of this town. And, the best way to experience Vietri sul Mare is to simply wander around and get lost down the narrow winding streets.

A highlight, of course, is a visit to the Vietri Ceramics Museum which is dedicated to the heritage and history of all things ceramic. And, if time allows, this town is one of the best places to get your hands deep in some clay and make your very own ceramics!

Before leaving the ceramic haven, shop for a souvenir or two and head to the viewpoint of the town where you can take in panoramic views of Vietri sul Mare before heading over to the final stop of the day.

vietri sul mare ceramics

End your day in the delightful fishing town of Cetara , which is most famous for its seafood and is known as the ‘World Tuna Capital’ . Of course no trip to Cetara would be complete without a visit to a tuna shop, where you can taste the delights and learn more about the importance of the town’s maritime heritage.

Full of character and charm, there’s only one main street that runs along the town, where you’ll find an abundance of vibrant and colourful restaurants, shops and cosy cafes and here you will also see the beautiful Saint Peter’s Church.

You can also visit the 16th-century defensive tower which houses a small museum dedicated to the fishing roots of Cetara as well as Anchovy Colatura  (where you can see the ancient barrels in which the amber liquid was once stored) .

Find a restaurant to have dinner in by Cetara’s beautiful port area and enjoy dinner by the sea eating some of the freshest Italian cuisine!

tuna shop cetara

Opt to take a boat ride and spend the day visiting the beautiful island of Capri! Simply hop on a ferry from Sorrento to Capri. The island is famed for its fascinating rock formations, stretches of dramatic coastlines and crystal clear waters, its natural beauty alone is enough reason to visit!

Aside from its breathtaking natural beauty, the island is scattered with churches, museums, delicious cuisine and world-class shopping. Start here by watching the world go by at the main Piazzetta and grab a coffee and pastry to fuel up for a day of exploring.

Next, head to the luscious green oasis, the Garden of Augustus , which is a terraced garden sprinkled with statues, overlooking breathtaking views. Then hike up the steep trail to see (and photograph) the iconic view overlooking Via Krupp .

Another popular attraction to visit while in Capri is the Blue Grotto, a sea cave which illuminates blue when the sun shines through. Spend a long and lazy afternoon at one of the many beaches, boasting sparkling blue waters that are dreamy to take a dip in.

Once you’ve got your fill of sunshine and swimming, go back into town and find a spot to have lunch before heading to the main shopping street, Via Camerelle . This elegant street might just be for window shopping as it’s quite a high end strip, but well worth a visit!

capri italy

Take the ferry back to Sorrento , you’ll want to get there a little before dinner time so that you have enough time to explore the town. Sunny Sorrento is filled with treasures and is best known for its abundance of sun-kissed citrus fruits , namely lemons.

Wander around Sorrento’s historic old town which is known as Centro Storico , and find somewhere to enjoy a refreshing pre-dinner drink, I recommend a limoncello spritz!

Then you can head down to the Marina Grande and soak up views of the pastel-hued houses at the waterfront, before going down the narrow cobbled lanes to the main square Piazza Tasso and stopping at one of the many terraced cafés for a delicious and hearty Italian dinner.

Drink a limoncello spritz

Coming to the end of your trip, spend your penultimate day stepping in time and exploring some of Italy’s most important archaeological sites. Both ancient Roman cities are easily reached via public transport and the best place to take the train from is Sorrento.

It has to be said that the sheer size of Pompeii alone can seem vast and overwhelming, so you could either spend a whole day there or prioritise the main things to see before you visit. Herculaneum is much less visited and only a fraction of the site has been excavated so far, so there is much less to see, but it’s still worth the trip if you have time.

We’ve put together a guide on how to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum , including advice on the best way to get there as well as options for self-guided and guided tours to take.

pompeii ruins

If you have a final day to spend in the south of Italy, then I highly recommend taking the time to visit the wonderful and vibrant city of Naples . A gritty city with a lot of character and heaps of charm, Napoli (as it’s known in Italian) is one destination that you’ll remember for years to come. 

Filled with an array of historic monuments, churches, museums and galleries, Naples is brimming with cultural delights. A trip to this charming Italian city would be remiss without sampling the famed Neapolitan pizza ! Naples is indeed the birthplace and origin of one of the world’s most popular and comforting foods.

One day is sufficient time to see Naples, although it has to be said that it will be quite a packed day as there’s a lot to see and enjoy. Luckily we’ve already made a one-day in Naples itinerary you’ll want to steal , to make your travels that bit easier and get the most out of your trip.
