Atrani
Spend half a day in Atrani to see the historic square, beach and churches; combine with Amalfi or Positano.
Atrani is the smallest Amalfi Coast town, a compact historic centre on a narrow strip between the sea and hills. Its sights cluster around the square, beach and several medieval churches, all within a 10‑minute walk. A half‑day visit fits easily into a day‑trip from Amalfi or Positano.

- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach
- Queues: At delis and pharmacies take a number (numerino); avoid: Assuming the crowd at a bar counter is chaos — pay at the till first where asked
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
- Dinner at a home: Bring pastries, wine or flowers (not chrysanthemums, which are for funerals); avoid: Refusing seconds too firmly
