Discover Vietri sul Mare from the Sea

Just west of Salerno lies Vietri sul Mare, the town that marks the eastern gateway to the Amalfi Coast and one of the first highlights of a tour from the port.

The town of ceramics

Vietri is famous throughout Italy for its centuries-old ceramic tradition, and the colourful tiles that decorate its buildings and church domes give the town a cheerful, distinctive character. Seen from the water, its position where the mountains meet the sea is especially attractive, a bright and welcoming introduction to the coast that lies ahead.

The start of the Amalfi Coast

Passing Vietri by boat is the moment the classic Amalfi Coast scenery begins, setting the tone for the villages and cliffs to come.

Vietri features on the Amalfi Coast private experience. See our Tours from Salerno page.
