Favorite thing: The dominating feature of the main square of Amalfi of course is the amazing cathedral, dedicated to Saint Andrew - much more info in the must see section. A visit here is the main attraction of Amalfi. Photographing the cathedral is a bit of an art in itself - guess a wide angle lens would be a good idea!

Favorite thing: Picturesque Amalfi, its churches, towers and arcaded houses rising above a small harbour, once vied as an ancient maritime republic with Genoa, Pisa and Venice. The town's cathedral with its richly coloured facade dominates the main square.

Favorite thing: The beach always looked busy at Amalfi and the beach umbrellas added a splash of colour to the landscape too. A beautiful setting for such a wide expanse of sand.
Umbrellas and sunbeds are available for hire here.

Favorite thing: The scenery is absolutely magnetic. The water is so blue, the sky was too but that could be just the day. I spent most of the day with my mouth open, no not eating although I did have a fabulous lunch at a waterside restaurant in Amalfi itself. I was in awe about everything there.
Fondest memory: The town square was pretty exciting. Heaps of activity with street sellers of cards, trinkets and plaques. Just great for present shopping, interesting shops and laneways, nooks and crannies.

Favorite thing: It's a beautiful town, crowded (of course!), but the people are friendly, more so if you speak a little Italian. The Duomo is beautiful!
Fondest memory: My best memory is choosing a name plate for our home in the ceramics shop. The proprietor was very nice and promised to mail the plaque when it was finished---which she did. We received it about a month after I returned home.
