Don’t Overlook Cetara

Between Salerno and Amalfi lies Cetara, one of the most authentic and least touristy villages on the whole coast, and a wonderful stop on a tour from Salerno.

A working fishing village

Cetara has kept its identity as a genuine maritime community, still centred on fishing. It is especially renowned for its anchovies and for colatura di alici, a prized anchovy sauce with roots in ancient Roman garum. From the water, its cluster of houses around a small harbour, watched over by a medieval tower, feels refreshingly real compared with the busier resorts.

A taste of the true coast

For travellers who want to see the Amalfi Coast beyond the famous names, Cetara offers a glimpse of everyday coastal life and tradition.
