Minori

Scenica view of the beautiful town of Minori, at famous Amalfi Coast

Minori is a town in the province of Salerno, in the Campania region of south-western Italy. In 1997, as a part of the Amalfi Coast, it was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Anciently among the preferred vacation spots of the imperial Roman aristocracy – as evidenced by the discovery of a sumptuous villa dating back to the 1st century AD –, the city is nowadays a popular tourist destination for its Tyrrhenian waters, natural landscapes, as well as tasty pastry products, which attract many tourists looking for the authentic flavors of the Amalfi Coast. For this same reason, it is known as the Città del Gusto (City of Taste), or the Eden della Costiera Amalfitana (Eden of the Amalfi Coast) due to its mild and pleasant Mediterranean climate.
