Itinerary

Day1
Sorrento

Welcome to Amalfi!

The Amalfi coast is one of the most renowned tourist destinations in the whole of Italy. Drawing thousands of tourists annually the coast sits in-between Naples and Sorrento and encompasses the arm of the Sorrento Peninsula. The coastline includes some gorgeous towns that embrace the mountains, a few glorious beaches, and impressive scenery.

Which are the top three towns along the Amalfi Coast? Hands down, Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento. Which is the busiest? You guessed it, Amalfi. However, don’t let that put you off as you can escape the crowds in any of the numerous narrow, high-sided streets and alleyways, then grab a coffee in the café-lined Piazza Duomo before peeking inside its Norman-Arab cathedral. If you stumble upon more crowds in Sorrento or Positano, escape to the peninsula’s calmer villages. The cluster of whitewashed houses at Praiano, east of Positano, offers an easygoing place to pass your afternoon, as does its extension, Marina di Praia.

Furthermore, there are some fantastic beaches, coastal walks and mountainside villas. Moreover, aside from the coastal towns and mountains, the Amalfi Coast has a selection of interesting Islands such as Capri and Sirenusas that provide plentiful opportunities for exploration.

This is Amalfi, a coast full of picture-perfect multi-colored towns.
