Maiori has lost much of its historical settlement. In 1954 the flooding of the Reginna Major stream destroyed the town and the preservation of the more traditional architectural elements was not taken into great consideration in the reconstruction.
This doesn't mean that there's nothing to see. In fact, from the beach (the largest on the Amalfi Coast), to the Castle of San Nicola, passing through the churches (especially the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare) and the Sentiero dei Limoni from which you get to Minori, the attractions are not lacking.
Special mention for gastronomy. Especially during the summer, the town hosts high level gastronomic events. Among the local specialties, pay attention to the aubergine with chocolate, to which a festival is dedicated in the first week of August.
