Additional Information: |
The Amalfi Coast offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants on its vertical terrain. A scenic drive along the coastal road (SS 145 – known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views) takes visitors to Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding up-hill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere.
Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento are the most popular of the resort towns along the coast and are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Most of the beaches on the Amalfi Coast are small pebble inlets of land with excellent seaside restaurants. Buses and ferries run frequently and are well connected ways of reaching other towns. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands, a visit to vibrant Napoli or Salerno, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum—the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D
