History
Amalfi was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages; its paper-making industry and seafaring traditions shaped much of the local craft and architecture seen today.
Conservation
The Amalfi Coast is part of a fragile coastal ecosystem where erosion, traffic and overtourism stress terraces and water supplies; travel that limits litter and respects restricted zones helps preserve the area.

Start early to avoid crowds
Depart Sorrento soon after breakfast to secure parking windows in Positano and cooler walking conditions; traffic and queues swell by late morning.
Bring small cash
Many small sites, boat entrances and artisan shops accept only euros and sometimes cash only; carry coins for entry fees and purchases.
Wear supportive footwear
Cobblestones, steep stairways and uneven alleys are the norm—sturdy walking shoes make short explorations far more comfortable.
Prepare for sun and sea spray
A sun hat, sunscreen and a light windbreaker will handle intense sun on terraces and cool breezes along exposed viewpoints.
