Cetara, where sea, tradition and flavor come together
Nestled at the foot of the mountains and overlooking crystal-clear waters, Cetara is one of the most distinctive and authentic villages on the Amalfi Coast. Here, time seems to move at the slow pace of fishing boats and waves, offering visitors a truly intimate and genuine atmosphere. Far from mass tourism, this small village preserves ancient stories and intense flavors, starting with its famous colatura di alici (anchovy sauce), a symbol of its rich culinary tradition.
What to discover while strolling through Cetara
Cetara's charm lies in the details: a boat pulled ashore, the aroma of freshly cooked fish, a staircase opening onto a breathtaking view of the sea. Must-see sights include the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle, with its colorful tiled bell tower, and the Viceregal Tower, now home to exhibitions and cultural events. Daily life revolves around the harbor, where fishermen still work as they did in the past—hauling in nets, tuna, and anchovies.
