The Amalfi Coast opens its doors at the threshold of Vietri sul Mare, the first town after Salerno.
You will be enchanted by the blue water and the always sunny skies. Vietri sul Mare (Vietri on the sea) was the old town of Marcina built by Etruscans and later conquered by the Romans. A Roman thermae complex was recently discovered by the seaside.
Vietri sul Mare has been an important centre for the production of ceramics since the 15th century. Ceramica vietrese is truly something unique, sought-after by tourists and exported everywhere. Handcrafted pottery and tiles can be found in small shops all over the town. The Museum of Ceramics, set up in the tower of Villa Guardiglia on a mountain overlooking the sea and Vietri itself, is in the hamlet of Raito.

Vietri sul Mare is also famous for its beaches and for the two big rocks called I Due Fratelli (the two brothers) that emerge from the water and are connected to various legends.
