Why go
This Vietri route suits travelers who want to see the local ceramic tradition in a museum and around town. Start at the Provincial Museum of Ceramics in Villa Guariglia, above the old centre in Raito. A generous downhill walk leads to the Church of San Giovanni Battista, where the tiled dome brings the craft into the skyline. Continue to Villa Comunale di Vietri, a public garden filled with coloured tile and coastal views. Crestarella Beach is an optional final descent for those who want time by the water. The museum-to-centre slope is the demanding part, while the indoor collection gives the day a useful anchor if the weather turns.
