About Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a dramatic 50-kilometre stretch of coastline in southern Italy's Campania region, where pastel-coloured towns cling precariously to steep cliffs above the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea. The coast's winding, narrow roads, carved directly into the cliffside, link famous towns including Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, each offering its own distinct charm and views.
Positano, the coast's most photographed town, cascades down a steep hillside in a jumble of colourful buildings, while the town of Amalfi itself houses a striking medieval cathedral and gave the coastline its name as a historic maritime republic. The scenic Path of the Gods hiking trail offers some of the most spectacular views along the entire coast for those willing to walk its clifftop route.
Why Visit Amalfi Coast?
Local story
Good to Know
The Amalfi Coast suits families, couples, groups and photographers, for a stay of 2 to 4 days exploring different towns along the coast. Driving the coastal road yourself can be stressful given its narrow, winding nature, so many visitors prefer local buses, ferries or a hired driver.
Ferries between coastal towns offer a scenic and often faster alternative to road travel during the busy summer season when traffic can be heavy.
