The Amalfi Coast is a strip of coastline where mountains plunge into the sea creating a fairytale landscape. Each village has its own identity: Positano with pastel houses, Amalfi with the Cathedral, Ravello with panoramic gardens. Time seems to stand still here.
📅 Best time to visit
May-June and September-October. July-August is expensive and crowded.
🏛️ Why visit Amalfi Coast
🍽️ Local cuisine
Limoncello made with local sfusato lemons, scialatielli with seafood, lemon delight cake, Cetara anchovies and buffalo mozzarella. Every terrace restaurant overlooking the sea is an unforgettable experience.
🗺️ Neighbourhoods to explore
Positano for shopping and social life. Amalfi for the Cathedral and maritime history. Ravello for Villa Rufolo and concerts. Praiano for quiet coves. Furore for the fjord and Path of the Gods.
✈️ How to get there
Fly to Naples (NAP) and reach the coast by SITA bus, ferry or rental car.
💡 Practical tips
- Take the SITA bus from Sorrento or ferry from Naples/Salerno.
- Avoid driving in summer: narrow roads and impossible parking.
- The Path of the Gods from Agerola to Nocelle is Italy's most beautiful hike.
