Amalfi is famous for establishing the 'rules of the sea' in the fourteenth century, and while tourist shops are housed in the shipyards where powerful galleys were once built, the former glory is remembered on a tiled map.

The town also boasts a grand cathedral with an imposing stairway, a fanciful neo-Byzantine facade, and an ancient bronze door from Constantinople.

Be adventurous and examine every nook and cranny while walking the streets and you'll be amazed at what you may find.

Amalfi to Positano Cruise captures the very best views in Italy with a half-day private boat excursion, which departs twice a day - in the morning and in the afternoon.

The Emerald Grotto (La Grotta dello Smeraldo), is 5 km West of Amalfi town on the main coastal road heading in the direction of Positano. It is situated in the town of Conca dei Marini. There are daily boat excursions of one-hour which leave Amalfi taking guests to the Emerald Grotto. Visit the grotto and sightsee part of the striking Amalfi Coast. Ferry cruises leave daily from 9am, on the hour with the last boat at 3.30pm as the grotto closes at 4pm.

Positano is a short and scenic 25 minute ferry trip away from Amalfi. And the best way to full appreciate this beautiful town is to arrive by sea.
