Come Explore Atrani - The Sister Town of Amalfi!
Atrani, situated at the bottom of the Dragone valley, is the twin town of Amalfi, residence of the Nobles. It is also the smallest village in Italy. In 15th Century the rebel "Masaniello" was born here and later as a fuggitive lived in the grotto that still bears his name. Atrani continues its ancient agricultural traditions, with its small vegetable gardens and fruit orchards where typical products of the Amalfi coast are grown: aubergines, tomatoes, walnuts, olives, citrus and other fruits. The beautiful clear water of the sea and the abundance of fish feature in various traditional celebrations held in Atrani, including the Sagra del Pesce Azzurro.

Atrani is situated at the base of the narrow Valley of Dragone with its mountain villages. Scala is a 40 - 50 minute walk to descend into Atrani and meander around its quaint streets and Piazza Umberto and admire its churches before going onto to Amalfi.
