The town of Amalfi was once one of the most important ports in Italy and today remains a port to cruise ships and the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Visit the Piazza del Duomo for restaurants and shopping, especially during the evening, and wander over to the sea to find boat rentals of various sizes and skills to rent and enjoy for a half or full day. The views are breathtaking, so be sure to have a camera on hand.
