Things to do in Amalfi Coast

Located at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto, Amalfi is the main gem of the so called Costiera Amalfitana, or the Amalfi Coast. Now a top touristic destination in Italy thanks to its characteristic towns and cities such as Positano, Ravello and Minori, centuries ago Amalfi used to be the capital of the namesake maritime republic and an important Mediterranean trading port. Nowadays, the picturesque coastal scenery and steep cliffs surrounding Amalfi attract thousands of visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, experience the traditional Italian coastal lifestyle and enjoy the unique local climate. No wonder, Amalfi is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the authenticity of its area is protected and encouraged both by locals and the State.
