Discover Italian Village Cetara on the Amalfi Coast, Italy

Cetara, Campania, Italy. Another beautiful town on the iconic Amalfi Coast, Cetara was established by the Saracens in the 9th century, who have built a settlement here after colonizing the area. The town also features a historic Norman tower named Erchie, that is built on top of a rock, overlooking the crystal clear Tyrrhenian Sea.

Cetara is an ancient fishing village, famous for its tuna. It is also known for its distinctive cuisine: try delicious dishes at three world-quality restaurants – Il Convento, Il San Pietro and L’Acqua Pazza. Needless to say, the ingredients are fresh, purchased straight from the fishermen. Also visitors get a bottle of local Anchovy sauce as a souvenir.
