The Amalfi Coast
A place that stays with you
Not just beautiful scenery. A place that changes your pace, opens your eyes and, if you're lucky, makes you come back.
“The Amalfi Coast is one of the most famous coastlines in the world — and yet it still manages to surprise.”
Villages clinging to the rock, roads winding between lemon groves and sea, the scent of salt and basil mixed in the morning air. Every bend of this coast has something to show.
Staying here doesn't just mean having a beautiful place to sleep. It means waking up to the light refracting off the water, having breakfast with a view you can't stop looking at, moving slowly between Amalfi, Positano, Ravello — each with its own character.
This is not a destination for those in a hurry. It is for those who want to slow down, look, taste — and return home with something you cannot buy in the boutiques on the waterfront.
The villages
From Amalfi to Cetara, every place is a world
The Coast is meant to be explored one village at a time. Each has its own identity and story to tell.
Amalfi
10–20 minThe historic capital of the coast, with its Cathedral, labyrinthine alleys and seafront. A place that never gets old — visit it at sunset at least once.
Positano
20–35 minThe most photographed. Pastel-coloured houses tumbling to the sea, artisan boutiques, pebble beaches. Best visited early in the morning.
Ravello
30–40 minPerched at the top of the hill, above the sea. Villa Rufolo gardens, silence, summer concerts. The Coast from a different, higher, quieter perspective.
Cetara
15–25 minAn authentic fishing village, less crowded. World-famous for its salted anchovies and colatura — a precious condiment, almost a perfume.
Praiano
15–30 minQuiet, panoramic, favoured by those who want to stay away from the crowds. Hidden coves, a less-trodden coast, the finest sunset on the Amalfi Coast.
Vietri sul Mare
20–30 minThe eastern gateway to the Coast, famous for its hand-painted ceramics. The colours of the plates, vases and tiles are part of the visual identity of the area.
Things to do
Experiences worth seeking
Not a tourist checklist. The things you'll actually remember looking back.
Swimming off season
In June or September the sea is less crowded and often more beautiful. You can find hidden coves, the water is clear, the silence is real.
The Path of the Gods
One of the most famous treks in southern Italy. From Agerola to Positano, with views that change at every bend. Best done early in the morning.
Lemon groves and local produce
Amalfi sfusato lemons are a Slow Food Presidium. Visit a lemon grove, taste artisan limoncello, bring something home.
A boat trip
Hire a small dinghy or take a guided excursion to see the coast from the water. The perspective changes everything.
Eating off the tourist trail
Look for the trattorie where the locals eat, away from the seafront. A good, simple, well-made tomato pasta.
Watching the sunset from the hillside
From the heights of the Coast, the sunset over the sea is an experience hard to forget. You just need to know where to go.
Trekking & trails
The finest walks on the Coast
The Amalfi Coast rewards those who explore it on foot. Here are the trails worth doing at least once.
Path of the Gods
ModerateBomerano (Agerola) → Nocelle (Positano)
One of the most spectacular treks in southern Italy. You walk along a ridge dropping sheer to the sea, with views over Positano, Capri and the Faraglioni that change at every bend. Start from Bomerano early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds. Some sections are exposed: not recommended for those with vertigo.
💡 From Nocelle you descend to Positano via ~1,700 steps or by shuttle
Lemon Trail
EasyMaiori → Minori (or reverse)
A gentle path through terraced lemon groves overlooking the sea, suitable for all including families. It links Maiori to Minori via the Mortella viewpoint, where you can see Ravello, Amalfi and Atrani. April and May are the best time: the sfusato lemons are in blossom and the scent is unmatched.
💡 April–June is the best time — the sfusato lemons are in full bloom
The 13 Churches of Tramonti
ModerateCircular route from Pucara (Tramonti)
A circular route through the little-known hinterland, crossing the 13 hamlets of Tramonti, each with its own historic church. You walk through vineyards, chestnut woods and lemon groves far from mass tourism — an authentic experience for those wanting to discover a different side of the Coast.
💡 Reachable by SITA bus on the Maiori–Tramonti line
Valle delle Ferriere
Easy–ModerateFrom Amalfi into the Nature Reserve
Starting from the centre of Amalfi, the path climbs the valley past medieval paper mills into the Nature Reserve. At the top you reach a waterfall over 25 metres high and the Woodwardia radicans, an extremely rare fern that has survived since the Tertiary era. Cool even in summer thanks to the dense vegetation.
💡 €5 entry fee for the final section with the main waterfall
At the table
