About Amalfi

After your drive from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Amalfi, you’ll be greeted by a peaceful vacation destination with quaint villages and serene shores, but that wasn’t always the case. Amalfi was once a powerful maritime republic and flourished from the 9th to 12th centuries as a significant trading hub in the Mediterranean with the Byzantine Empire and the Arab world.

It was renowned for its shipbuilding, long-distance sailing, and the production of luxury goods, including textiles and paper. The "Amalfi Laws” were a pioneering maritime code that became the standard international law at the time and laid the foundation for maritime law in the modern era. The modern compass was also perfected by Amalfi sailors.

In 1343, after over a century of occupation by the Normans and the Pisans, the Amalfi Republic met a swift end. An earthquake in the Tyrrhenian Sea set off a chain of events leading to a tsunami that destroyed the port and all of its boats. The lowest-lying coastal areas, full of shops, housing, and government buildings, fell into the sea.

The Amalfi people never recovered their population numbers from the complete destruction of their economy, community, and way of life. Earthquake survivors folded themselves into the broader mainland Italian empires and the Amalfi Coast fell into obscurity until its rediscovery as a sunny vacation spot after it finally received a road in the 19th century.

What is the best time to visit Amalfi

Amalfi has the most pleasant weather and the smallest crowds in the spring and autumn. The spring brings fresh blooms to the gardens and balconies in town, but the autumn has warmer water that’s been heated all summer long. Either of these shoulder seasons are the perfect time to visit.

Summer is the most popular time to visit, but comes with more expensive accommodations, longer queues for popular attractions, and less space on the coast for your family to play and relax. The afternoon sun is oppressively hot, which saps the fun out of activities like hiking.
