However we cannot forget that Vietri is also a tourist resort. The centre, overlooked by the mount San Liberatore, lyes on a terraced hill falling down to the sea. Main monument is the Church of San Giovanni Battista (St.John the Baptist), whose shapes belong to the XVIII century with its elegant dome covered with majolica. Underlying the town is the Marina of Vietri, with a large shore provided with many tourist amenities, with a Saracen Tower of XVI cent. in the middle.

There are other 5 hamlets, other than Marina, in the territory of Vietri sul Mare: Molina, whose name is derived from the mills (Mulini) working here since the Middle Ages; Albori, a characteristic village hanging on the Eastern side of a pictoresque valley under Mount Falerio; Raito, overlooking the Gulf of Salerno as a balcony, with an elegant Parish Church provided with some precious frescoes by solimena; Benincasa and Dragonea, surrounded by greenery and woods, base camps for the mountain paths.

At Raito, inside the tower rising in the park of Villa Guinigi, there is the Museum of Ceramics, where are exposed some pieces of Vietri's production, from XVII century up to present days. At Dragonea there are the Caves of San Cesareo, with characteristic rocky shapes created by water erosion; inside on of those caves there are the remains of an ancient chapel. Apart there is the village of Fluenti, on the edge to Cetara.

The most important events in Vietri are related to the ceramics tradition: the award "Journey through Ceramics", exhibitions and reviews, organized in collaboration with national and international partners. Inside Villa Gueriglia take place some summer concerts and a National Piano Contest. Thanks to its features and history, Vietri sul Mare is considered one of the major production centres of artistic and traditional ceramics: its name is a quality mark that is going to be protected also by law against imitations.
