Tips from the Community
The Norman Tower of Maiori is the oldest watchtower on the entire Amalfi Coast. Built between 1250 and 1300 on a rocky spur overlooking the sea, it was part of the complex defensive system of Saracen towers used to spot pirate ships and send alarms via smoke or light signals. Its imposing structure, which blends elements of an Angevin cylindrical tower and a viceregal one, gives it the appearance of a true defensive fortress. Today, it is a cultural and tourist icon, so much so that it was used as a film set by director Roberto Rossellini for the film Paisà.

Very difficult gravel at the start of the trail, it gets better later on. There are places where you sink your wheels into the earth, be careful!

Rightly considered the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Vietri is a small pearl rich in history and beauty. Famous for its ceramics appreciated all over the world, the various artisan workshops of the master potters are worth a visit, as are its hamlets (Raito, Albori, Dragonea, Molina...).
