Cetara<\/strong> is a small village with only 2000 inhabitants on the Amalfi Coast, a portion of the coast near Naples which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/a> since 1997<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The blue sea, the sheer cliffs, the mild climate all year round, the many characteristic towns and the excellent food traditions make the Amalfi Coast a wonderful place to visit.<\/p>\n Cetara lies at the foot of Mount Falerio<\/strong> and stretches along a deep valley covered in vineyards and citrus<\/strong> groves. It is certainly less popular than Positano<\/strong> or Amalfi<\/strong><\/a>, but it is worth visiting.<\/p>\n Cetara has always been a fishing village<\/strong> and its name seems to derive from the Latin Cetaria<\/em><\/strong>, tuna fishery, or from Cetari<\/em><\/strong>, the name of the ancient fish sellers.<\/p>\n However, the name may derive from Citrus<\/strong><\/em>, lemon, since this plant is so widespread on the Amalfi Coast.<\/p>\n Corso Garibaldi and Corso Federici<\/strong> are two connected streets that together are the backbone of Cetara.<\/p>\n Walking along these two streets is a nice way to take a closer look at Cetara, since most of the restaurants, sights, and shops<\/strong> are on Corso Garibaldi.<\/p>\n However, it is also interesting to explore all the tiny narrow passageways and staircases that branch off from the two main streets. Here hides the most authentic atmosphere of the town.<\/p>\nA CURIOSITY ABOUT THE NAME OF CETARA<\/h3>\n
