  • A tiny, cave-like shop that specializes in contemporary ceramic art.

  • This workshop is the place to come for gorgeous ceramics decorated with traditional designs.

  • Home to the world-famous Vietri dinnerware, where the bird design is used on plates, pitchers, sugar bowls – you name it.

  • A coral and cameo factory in Torre del Greco. The selection is extraordinary, created with both silver and gold, and prices are excellent. A certificate of guarantee comes with every purchase.

  • Here you’ll find a little bit of everything, all of it head and shoulders above the usual tourist trinkets. Coral necklaces with silver baubles and lapis lazuli or turquoise are particularly appealing.

  • Some of the best ceramics on the island. Designs tend to evoke the natural hues of the setting – azure, gold, green – usually with flowers and vines or other florid vegetation. Anything can be designed to your specifications and you can watch the artists at work.

  • Limonoro, Sorrento

    One of the top souvenirs from the area is limoncello , the signature lemon liqueur. This is a good place to see it being made, after which you’ll know why it packs such a punch – it’s basically pure alcohol with flavouring.

  • L’Arco Antico, Amalfi

    L’Artico Antico helps keep Amalfi’s tradition of handmade paper products alive.

  • Examples of Sorrentine intarsia (marquetry) are to be seen all over town, but this workshop turns out top-quality products at reasonable prices. The best items are the music boxes.

  • Cobblers jollier than these would be hard to find. Stop by to pick out designs you like and within a few hours – unless you choose something extra fancy – you’ll have your very own hand-tooled, made-to-measure sandals.
