Minori is a small town on the Amalfi Coast in Campania, southern Italy, set between Amalfi and Maiori on the Gulf of Salerno. Its streets run down the hillside to a town beach, and lemon groves climb the slopes above the coast. The town is known for its pasta, and simple meals at bakeries and cafes are easy to find.
Minori suits travelers who want a coastal base with a beach, simple meals and short walks. The Path of the Lemons runs from Minori to Maiori through terraced lemon groves. The town also has the remains of a Roman villa and the Basilica di Santa Trofimena. Give the beach, the ruins and the lemon path a couple of days, which leaves time for slow mornings by the sea.

Is Minori a good base for the Amalfi Coast?
Yes if you want a quieter town with a beach and lower prices than Positano. It is small and not as photogenic, but buses and boats reach Amalfi, Positano and Salerno.
What is the Path of the Lemons?
It is a short stepped path through lemon terraces linking Minori and Maiori. It takes roughly half an hour each way, with stairs; check local notices for closures before you go.
How do I get to Minori from Naples?
Take the train to Salerno, then a coast bus or ferry, or a bus from Naples where available. Allow about 2 to 2.5 hours. Check timetables, because services vary by season.
Is Minori better than Amalfi?
Minori is quieter and cheaper, while Amalfi has the cathedral and more services. They are a short ride apart, so you can sleep in Minori and visit Amalfi on a day trip.
When is the best time to visit Minori?
May, June, September and October give warm days with fewer crowds. July and August are hot and busy, and many places close in winter. Check which hotels and restaurants are open before you book off-season.
