Atrani is a beautiful, small seaside village, with approx. 1000 inhabitants. It’s considered one of the gems of the Amalfi Coast and is greatly favored among travelers because of its stunning position on the beach at the entrance to the Dragone Valley, its picturesque narrow streets and lovely Piazzetta, and its tranquility and calm atmosphere.
The village has a good selection of bars and restaurants, that receive visitors also from other parts of the coast. You will also find a small grocery store, a butcher, a fishmonger, a fruit and vegetable store, a newsagent, among others. A ten minutes walk around the headland will take you to the larger and more lively Amalfi, where you’ll find what the shops in Atrani can’t provide. Amalfi is also a centre of public transportation, with boats or buses going to Capri, Cilento, Salerno, Naples, Pompei, Sorrento as well as the rest of the famous Amalfi Coast.
