When Amalfi died young and their love was short-lived, Hercules promised to bury her in the most beautiful place in the world and built Amalfi in her honor. difficult. Vehicles passing through the narrow tunnel have to give way to those coming from the opposite lane, otherwise it is not possible for two vehicles to pass side by side..

There is the Saint Andrea Cathedral in the Duomo square. It is also the center of the town.. 9 to the construction of the cathedral. started in the century. The doors were made in Istanbul in 1065.
We also asked ourselves if we liked the place that everyone was talking about as Amalfi.. Yes, we liked it, but let’s say that there is no place to spend hundreds of euros for Amalfi enough to write tens of lines or even hundreds of euros per night.. The longest beach, located in Maiori town, is 930 meters long and 40 meters wide.. There is no comparison to Şile, Patara, Iztuzu, which we do not like in our country.
Prices are seriously expensive. Locals are middle-income and although there is no industry in southern Italy, the skyrocketing prices show how touristic this place is.. For some reason no one talks about prices. The simplest example is a small water for 2 euros.
There are not many places we did not like among the places we visited, but although there is nothing attractive in the town of Amalfi, it did not win our appreciation because it was exaggerated by people
