The coastline surrounding Amalfi is a popular tourist spot in the Campania region of Italy. It comprises 13 towns and villages, each with its own charm and attractions. Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano are most well known in this area.

The coastline is also a registered World Heritage Site, and many people come to enjoy the nature and history of the area. The resort of Punta Campanella forms part of a protected marine reserve. Sustainable tourism is important here, but sailing and diving do fit in with this ethos. Also for nature lovers is the Ferriere Nature Reserve, home to many small animals, birds, and many different plants.

In terms of history and architecture, there are many villas and churches to explore, such as the Cathedral in Amalfi, Villa Rufolo in Ravello, and the Santa Maria Assunta church in Positano. There’s also a host of small museums, which have artifacts dating back to roman times, and details of the myths and legends in the area, involving pirates and mermaids.

No visit to the Amalfi coastline would be complete without taking in the local cuisine. Traditional Neapolitan recipes are served throughout the restaurants and bars, many of which include the local lemon, Sfusato Amalfitano. This can be tasted in main courses, sweets, lemonade, and of course lemon liqueur.

The nearest airport to the Amalfi coast is Naples, while visitors already in the Campania region can visit the area by bus (from various towns), train (from Salerno), or ferry/hydrofoil (from Salerno/Capri/Sorrento/Naples). Whilst dates and times may vary depending on the season, the area is still readily accessible, and with plenty to see and do, it’s the perfect place to spend your next holiday!
