Detailed itinerary

We pass by Maiori's Norman Tower, a mighty defensive bastion that protected the town from attacks from the sea, especially by Saracen pirates. Its construction is dated between 1250 and 1300 and since then it has been a characteristic element of Maiori's landscape to the point of being immortalised in several paintings.

We will visit the Sulfur Cave, a tiny grotto located right after the Norman Tower. Here from rock flows a sulfur water source that is considered miraculous for its good effects to the skin care. Local people used to drink it with some lemon juice to reduce its smell or just have a bath in the natural swimming pole inside the cave.

We will see the rock formations that make Pandora Cave a pristine natural gem. Safely we'll enter the cave, one at a time and under the supervision of the guide.

We will stop by Maiori's Dead Horse Beach fo a break. The name is the child of several stories. The most credited one has it that the beach was the place where, starting in the 1800s, the bodies of equines torn apart by work along the mule tracks of the Amalfi coast were thrown. Snorkelling equipment will also be available for those who want to see the beauty hidden in the water, and an aperitif with snacks and fresh fruit to relax on the beach.
