Amalfi Coast
Latest update: 2 February 2024
|
The Amalfi Coast is a unique coastline stretching from the southern Italian town of Positano at its far western end along to Vietri sul Mare on its eastern side. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997, the region draws a huge number of visitors throughout the year and it's easy to understand why with such an incredible array of riches contained within it.
The most famous sites are the aforementioned Positano, the town of Amalfi, Ravello with its two wonderful villas (Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone) and the dozens of little villages in the hilly interior. |

Each town has its own unique character, be it a curious cove or a pretty location hanging over the sea while linking these places is one of the most famous driving routes in the whole world, the Amalfi Coast Road.
There are also some fantastic hiking routes along the 60 km (37 mile) coastline including the wonderfully-named "Path of the Gods", a dazzling walk through vineyards with some impossibly beautiful panoramas.
Apart from the best-known sights listed above there are countless treasures that will pleasantly surprise with their genuine southern Italian feel, small towns such as Cetara or the beach resort of Erchie to name but two.
