About Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is a 50km stretch of Mediterranean perfection — pastel villages cling to dramatic cliffs, winding roads reveal new panoramas at every turn, and the scent of lemon groves fills the air. Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello each offer their own magic.

Travel Tips for Amalfi Coast
Rent a private boat for the best coastal experience — split costs with others to save.
The SITA buses are cheap but packed in summer. Ferries between towns are more pleasant.
Visit in shoulder season (May or September) to avoid extreme crowds and heat.
Wear comfortable shoes — the Amalfi Coast is all stairs and steep paths.
