Amalfi

Amalfi, Italy

The Amalfi coast has an extension of more than 50 kilometers passing several towns of the Salerno Gulf located in the province of Campania. This beautiful coast is part of the Italian beaches on the Tirreno Sea due to the great touristic and cultural interest all of the villages that form the coast were declared a patrimony of the humanity by UNESCO. 

In the Middle Ages several places were founded that formed this coast being in the 12th century one of the sea republics that dominated the Mediterranean and today Amalfi is no doubt a wonderful tourist destination, it's the most important town of the coast, very appealing to tourists because of the buildings that can be seen in incredible places like San Andrew's Cathedral in Arabian style and located on the top of a steep hill with an unmissable sea view.

In this coast the roads are narrow and winding which are dangerous for the people who visit Amalfi for the first time. The Amalfi beach is ideal to practice all types of water sports, and the landscape invites climbing on hills and going down cliffs. The closeness with Positano and Ravello allow us to visit those places during the day.

From the Roma Fiumicino Airport there's an easy connection with the Napoli Airport. From there, there are buses coming out every day to Amalfi, which is very close to Napoli and Salerno. However, it's not advised to take this route by car for the first time, because it's very narrow and dangerous.
