Port summary
Amalfi is a tender port — ships anchor in the bay and passengers ride tender boats to Marina Coppola pier, landing right at the edge of town. Piazza Duomo and the cathedral are a one-minute walk. The town is small and steep, best explored on foot. Ferries connect to Positano and Capri, and SITA buses climb to Ravello. Mobility-limited passengers should note that streets are steep, narrow, and largely inaccessible to wheelchairs. Tender operations depend on sea conditions — rough weather can cancel calls entirely.
