Amalfi Coast, Italy

The Amalfi coast is one of the most scenic areas of Italy, offering picture postcard views along the Mediterranean coastline. Steep mountains run right to the water’s edge and iconic towns are a mix of old architecture; traditional festivals and cuisine; and contemporary shopping and water sports. The towns of Amalfi, Salerno, Positano, Ravello and the Isle of Capri are within hiking and driving distance of each other, or easily reached by ferry; Pompeii and Naples are nearby.
