Hours Ashore

Your hours ashore in Salerno (Amalfi Coast)

Salerno is a walkable seaside city with a long palm-lined promenade, a medieval old town and a fine cathedral. It is also the handiest port for the Amalfi Coast: ferries run from the city to Amalfi and Positano, and Paestum's Greek temples are a short train ride south.
