Maiori Must-Sees

Maiori and its neighbor Minori feature a collection of historic landmarks and coastal features. The area is defined by 13th-century religious architecture like the Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare with its majolica dome, and 16th-century defensive structures such as the watchtowers in Cetara and Erchie. Natural highlights include the emerald waters of Pandora Cave and secluded pebble beaches like Spiaggia del Cavallo Morto, accessible primarily by sea. The 9th-century Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano offers a look into the region's medieval defensive history against Saracen raids.

Maiori's Best Beaches

Maiori features the longest continuous stretch of sand on the Amalfi Coast, but its coastline also hides several secluded coves accessible primarily by boat. These beaches, including Cavallo Morto and Sovarano, are characterized by pebble shores, deep crystalline waters, and dramatic limestone cliffs. Many of these spots, such as Acquachiara and Cauco, lose direct sunlight by mid-afternoon due to their eastward orientation and high surrounding rock walls.

Majestic Churches of Maiori

Maiori’s religious architecture spans from the 10th-century rock-carved Abbazia di Santa Maria dell’Olearia to the iconic Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare with its majolica-tiled dome. This collection includes the high-altitude Santuario della Madonna Avvocata on Mount Falerzio and the historic Basilica di Santa Trofimena in neighboring Minori. These sites preserve Byzantine frescoes, medieval cloisters, and sacred relics, documenting the Amalfi Coast's spiritual history and artistic evolution through the centuries.
