Explore the Maritime Town of Amalfi

Sandwiched between the water body and the mountains, Amalfi is not only a picturesque town but also historic. It was once a part of the Maritime Republics of Italy. The impact of maritime domination is reflected in the town’s architecture which is home to an ancient abbey, and the meandering alleys built to deter would-be assailants. You will have 1.5 hours in Amalfi to explore the city's lanes, go shopping, and view historical landmarks. On your way back to Positano, visit a seaside restaurant to have lunch at your own expense.
