Maiori is a picturesque coastal resort located on the famous Amalfi Coast in Italy. Known for its wide beach of fine sand, rare for most other towns on the Coast, Maiori offers a fascinating mix of natural beauty, history and culture. The town has a rich and complex past, visible in its urban layout and historical monuments, such as the imposing Castle of San Nicola de Thoro-Plano and ancient churches. Maiori was once the most prosperous centre on the Amalfi Coast, thanks to its important maritime fleet. Today, with its lively seafront promenade, restaurants serving excellent seafood dishes and alleys full of local craft shops, Maiori attracts visitors looking for an authentic experience, less crowded than in other better-known coastal resorts. The town is also a great starting point for exploring the region’s natural beauty and hiking trails, including those leading to ancient ruins and breathtaking landscapes.
