Remains and relics of St. Andrew, brought from Constantinople, are still in the tomb of the Cathedral and items used for processions are on display.
Praiano is the low-key pearl of the Amalfi Coast. This small town has the most romantic sunsets of the entire Amalfi Coast and especially picturesque are the ones over the secluded beaches.

This is a place of fine dining & wining and even more, that's where the wildest club scene on the Amalfi Coast is, discotheque Africana.
Sorrento has enchanted visitors for centuries with its Mediterranean colors, azure waters, lemon groves and steep shores.

Getting to the top of Monte Solaro is an experience in itself. You can take the path leading to the top and spend about an hour hiking the mountain or take the Chairlift, just a few steps from Piazza Vittoria of Anacapri, and get to the top in 15 minutes.

Stroll along the small streets and numerous stairs to discover the treasures of this coastal town - the small cafes, luxury boutiques, one-of-a-kind hand-made sandals and anything you can imagine made from lemon.
