Minori vs Maiori — the quieter twins
Ten minutes from Amalfi, half the price, the only Roman villa on the coast, and a wide flat beach.
The differences
Minori: tiny, food-focused (Sal De Riso's pastry shop is here), the Villa Romana di Minori from the 1st century AD is half a block from the seafront. Quieter.
Maiori: a kilometre of sandy beach (the longest on the coast), more hotels, more restaurants, more Saturday-night life. Less postcard, more useful.
