Atrani — Amalfi's quieter neighbour
Three minutes' walk from Amalfi's main square is a separate village most day-trippers never reach.
Why it's still quiet
Atrani's piazza is hidden behind an arched passage — you can drive past Amalfi and not notice it. The historic ducal church (San Salvatore de' Birecto) is where the doges of Amalfi were crowned in the 9th century.
Eat dinner at A' Paranza (one Michelin star, surprisingly affordable) or at the much simpler Risto Bar Risorgimento on the piazza. Sleep at the small B&Bs above the beach.
