The historic maritime republic offers the stunning cathedral, paper-making traditions, and a more relaxed vibe than Positano.

Perched high above the coast, this garden town offers the region's best views and famous music festivals.
Praiano
A local secret with fewer tourists, better prices, and spectacular sunset views.
