Everything you need to know about Maiori
Maiori is the Amalfi Coast at a gentler pace — the longest seafront promenade on the coast, a majolica-domed collegiate church, and Norman-era towers rising over lemon terraces. Just minutes from Amalfi and Ravello along the SS163, it makes an easygoing base for exploring Campania without the crush of Positano. Naples airport (NAP) is the gateway, about 90 minutes away.

Maiori travel FAQ
Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking
Do Canadians need a visa for Italy?
No. Canadians can visit Italy visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Check whether the EU's ETIAS authorisation is required before you travel.
How do I get from Naples airport to Maiori?
Naples (NAP) is the gateway. From there it's about 90 minutes by private transfer or road, or you can take a train to Salerno and a seasonal ferry along the coast.
How long is the flight from Canada to Naples?
Seasonal direct flights from Toronto to Naples run about 8h 45m. Connecting flights via European hubs take roughly 11–13 hours in total.
When is the best time to visit Maiori?
May–June and September–October offer warm weather with lighter crowds. July and August are hottest and busiest; many hotels close from November to March.
What currency is used in Maiori?
Italy uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted, but keep some cash for espresso bars, buses, and small shops.
Do I need a car in Maiori?
Not necessarily. The SITA coastal buses and seasonal ferries connect Maiori with Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, and Salerno, and parking on the coast is scarce and costly.
Do I need travel insurance?
It's strongly recommended. Canadian provincial health plans don't cover care in Italy, and coverage protects against cancellations and medical costs.
Can I book excursions through ShopTravel?
Yes. You can add day trips such as the Amalfi & Ravello tour or Pompeii & Vesuvius to your booking at checkout.
