Amalfi Coast · Things to do

A working paper mill in a thirteenth-century building up the valley behind Amalfi, with water-driven hammers still turning rag into sheets.

A shaded ravine walk above Amalfi through ruined ironworks and rare ferns, with waterfalls and a fraction of the coastal path's traffic.

A fishing village that still lands anchovies and makes colatura, the fermented anchovy sauce descended from Roman garum. Eat it on spaghetti at lunchtime.

A flooded sea cave near Conca dei Marini lit an unnatural green by refracted light, reached by lift from the road or by boat from Amalfi.

A first-century seaside villa with mosaics, under the town of Minori, and a lemon-terrace path up the hill above it.
