About Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is Italy's most dramatic coastline—villages cling to cliffsides overlooking the Mediterranean. Positano cascades down the hillside in a riot of pastel colors. Amalfi town centers on a magnificent cathedral. Ravello floats on high cliffs with gardens offering vertigo-inducing views. Lemon groves perfume the air and produce the famous limoncello liqueur. Hiking trails connect villages—paths suspended between sea and sky. Boats navigate grottos carved by waves. The cuisine is seafood-focused: pasta with clams, fresh fish, mozzarella di bufala. The Amalfi Coast epitomizes Italian romance and beauty.
