About Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast stretches along southern Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula in a dizzying ribbon of terraced lemon groves, pastel-painted fishing villages, and hairpin roads carved into sheer limestone cliffs. Each town along the coast has its own personality, from the ceramic-tiled piazzas of Vietri sul Mare to the glamorous coves of Positano. The scent of lemon blossoms and fresh seafood hangs in the salt air, making every meal a celebration of Campanian tradition.
Things to Do
Path of the Gods Hike
Traverse the legendary Sentiero degli Dei high above the coastline, with panoramic views stretching from Capri to Positano.
Lemon Grove Tour in Amalfi
Visit a family-run limoneto to learn how sfusato lemons are cultivated on steep terraces and taste freshly made limoncello.
Private Boat to the Emerald Grotto
Cruise into the Grotta dello Smeraldo, where sunlight filters through an underwater cavity and bathes the cavern in emerald light.
Ravello's Villa Rufolo Gardens
Explore the terraced gardens that inspired Wagner, perched high above the coast with views that seem to stretch to infinity.
Seafood Lunch in Cetara
Taste the coast's finest anchovy dishes and colatura di alici, a pungent fish sauce with roots in ancient Roman garum.
Local Tips
Take the SITA bus instead of driving; the narrow roads and limited parking make a car more stressful than scenic.
Visit Positano early in the morning or late afternoon to enjoy the staircases and beach without peak-hour crowds.
Ferries connect the main towns from April through October and offer a relaxing alternative to the winding coast road.
Pack comfortable shoes with good grip; nearly every village involves steep stairways and uneven cobblestones.
