Choose a holiday apartment in Amalfi Coast AmalfiAmalfi is one of the bigger towns on the beautiful Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Here, whitewashed Amalfi villas sit on top of cliffs that spill down to the sea below. The town was once the capital of a powerful republic from the ninth to twelfth centuries, and today the town holds UNESCO World Heritage Site status for its cultural importance.Activities in Amalfi Amalfi is a lovely seaside town that features a pleasant beach and many historical sites. Visitors who book accommodation can spend their days soaking up some rays on the small beach, swimming in the warm waters of the Gulf of Salerno, or strolling through the small alleyways and squares in town. The Piazza Duomo is a popular gathering spot for tourists and locals, as it is breezy and shaded by the historic Saint Andrew's Cathedral. The Chiostro del Paradiso is also an interesting historical site as it was the burial place of many members of the noble families of Amalfi. It features fascinating medieval pillars, mosiacs, paintings, and sarcophagi. What to Buy in Amalfi There are many local products and handicrafts that visitors can buy in Amalfi. This region is famed for its lemon groves, and limoncello is a tasty and popular liqueur here. Amalfi is also famous for its handmade paper called bambagina. The paper is strong and durable, yet elegant and attractive as well. Other popular souvenirs include handmade ceramics and delicate cameo brooches. Eating and Drinking in Amalfi Cuisine from the Amalfi Coast is typically light and flavorful, and it features fresh local vegetables and seafood, rice, pasta, and creamy cheeses.
