The Scenic Amalfi Coast

We drove one of the most scenic coastlines in Italy.

Italy has many touristic attractions, the Amalfi Coast should not be missing from this list. We think we are not lying by saying that the Amalfi has the most beautiful stretch of coastline... We spent 7 days in this region and the area has so much to offer that we actually ran out of time. 

The Amalfi Coast 

The Amalfi Coast is a 50-kilometer stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region. The Amalfi is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site and is famous for its lemons, picturesque seaside towns, cliffs, and beaches. It's known for its stunning coastline and colorful villages with steep and narrow streets. Many towns along the Amalfi Coast have a rich historical legacy with important sights of historical and artistic value. The coastal road between the port city of Salerno and clifftop Sorrento winds past grand villas, terraced vineyards and cliffside lemon groves.
