We tendered ashore at Amalfi. On our previous cruise we were unable to go ashore because it was too rough for the tenders to operate so we were glad that we could get ashore this time. We had been to Amalfi over 10 years ago but we had not been to Positano so that was our aim. We did a tour which took us from Amalfi to Positano by ferry, provided some commentary and escorted us to the church and then set us loose on the town for two hours.

Positano is no different to other popular tourist spots and was packed with people.

Apparently the locals are expecting a big demand for lunch!

Perched on the side of a hill (cliff?) means that to get anywhere you are walking uphill or climbing stairs.

Taking the effort to get to the higher parts of town is rewarded with interesting views.

There was a lot of interesting ceramic artwork.

And other things that attracted my eye. The inside of the church was quite ornate.

Outside the church was a very interesting sculpture.

A couple of other things that caught my eye

After our time in Positano we caught the ferry back to Amalfi and did a quick meander around. Crowds were as bad in Amalfi as they were in Positano.

The main attraction in Amalfi is the Amalfi Cathedral in the main square.
