Minori is the only town on the picturesque Amalfi coast with authentic sandy beaches. For this reason, the town has invested heavily in tourism, and the old town has ended up obscured by a massive beach promenade.
The lemon liqueur, ’limoncello’ originates here. It’s made from lemon rind, mixed with alcohol, sugar and secret ingredients, which give it its refreshing, bittersweet taste. Many devotees enjoy a glass after a meal or served as an aperitif. Minori is also home to one of Italy’s most famous patisseries - De Riso, which is on the main square and has a wonderful selection of cakes and semi-cold ice-cream desserts known as ’semifreddi’. Many have tried to emulate their recipes, but you won’t get them as good as this anywhere else.
We recommend this town to families with young children who would like to visit the Amalfi coast, but who don’t want to be hampered by the many steps that are characteristic of other towns on this coastline.
