Vietri sul Mare: what to see and do

Vietri sul Mare is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast: painted ceramics, the Marina, beaches and views over the Gulf of Salerno. Use this page to plan a visit, then sleep 16 rooms inland of the waterfront at Hotel Vietri Coast.

Historic centre of Vietri sul Mare
FIRST TOWN ON THE COAST ROAD

Sea, craft and a practical base

The village sits between Salerno and the SS163. Lanes, workshops and viewpoints are walkable. It is a quieter evening stop than Amalfi or Positano, with a train station and hotel parking on request (10 € per day unless an offer includes it).

Start a coast itinerary here, then day-trip to Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Pompeii or Capri.
