Extensive and fascinating, the Amalfi Coast is located between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno and includes 16 beautiful municipalities in the province of Salerno: Amalfi, Atrani, Cava de’ Tirreni, Cetara, Conca dei Marini, and its Emerald Cave, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, Raito, Ravello, Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino, Scala, Tramonti and Vietri sul Mare.
The Amalfi Coast beaches are among the most beautiful in the Tyrrhenian Sea and in the world, although not very extensive due to the conformation of the coast, which is so impervious as to leave small (but marvellous) pebble cuttings between the cliffs.
Equally popular, the Amalfi Coast caves are an unmissable attraction for anyone wanting to descend into fascinating natural caverns. READ MORE
