Geography

The village is located on the Tyrrhenian coast between Cetara and Maiori. It is 12 km far from Salerno and 14 from Amalfi.
The inhabited area lies around a beach and is surrounded by the Lattari Mountains. Erchie is set, as a hidden gem, in a secluded valley that opens onto the beach and a dreamy bay. The heart of the village is the main beach surrounded by rocky slopes covered with luxuriant vegetation dispersed with little houses. Many exclusive beaches and coves where to bathe, dive or take the sun, are hidden along the coast and can be reached only by boat.

Tourism

With a few hundred inhabitants, mostly fishermen, Erchie is one of the least populated hamlets in the Amalfi Coast. Nonetheless, its favorable location and relative tranquility have made Erchie a popular destination among tourists.
