Hike limestone hills, visit vineyards or simply relax on a sun lounge by the water at this modern town on the Amalfi Coast.

Unlike many settlements along the Amalfi Coast, Maiori looks like a modern town. The popular resort was rebuilt in the 1950s after a flood destroyed a large number of the old houses that once stretched down to the beach. The pretty town is surrounded by limestone cliffs.

The long stretch of beach in Maiori is divided into public and private bathing areas. Bring your own towel and swim for free on the public stretch of beach or rent a sun lounge and umbrella for the day on a private beach. If you want to get active, rent a rowboat or pedalo and take to the water.

While the floods destroyed much of what was here originally, some old religious structures survived. Visit churches of varying architectural styles and ages. The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare was built in the 13th century and is the town’s main church. Admire the 16th-century carved wooden ceiling and majolica cupola. A crypt houses the Museum of Sacred Art Don Clemente Confalone. See the relics of St. Clemente among the busts and reliefs that make up the treasures on display.

Hike to the highest point in the town to see the Castello San Nicola. This 9th-century fortress offers sweeping views across the town and sea.

Walk the streets on foot. Try fresh gelati and stop for an aperitivo in gelaterias and bars on almost every street. Stroll Maiori’s main shopping street, Corso Regina, to buy souvenirs.

The town is surrounded by natural wonders, from limestone cliffs to lush forests. Capo d’Orso is a protected area east of Maiori that has vineyards and forests. Spot wildlife such as weasels, foxes and badgers and birds such as peregrine falcons.

You’ll find Maiori on the coast road halfway between Amalfi and Salerno. Come by ferry or bus from Naples, Sorrento and Salerno.

Maiori is a lovely seaside town, we visited and enjoyed the beach front loungers, had lunch, went snorkelling.

Lovely little village with a fantastic beach.

5/5 - Excellent

Maiori has a wonderful promenade and beach front with plenty of choice of eating options. It is a little more relaxed and quieter than some of the busier towns along the coast. It provides a great base for visiting the area.
