Discover the Amalfitan Coast - the most beautiful tourist destination in Italy

 Discover the Amalfitan Coast - the most beautiful tourist destination in Italy

The trip to the Amalfitana Coast is worth all the money you can put in. It is a very colorful and picturesque place, which is a perfect blend of natural and cultural wonders listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Open your eyes and prepare to be amazed at the most beautiful landscapes in all of Italy.

Called by locals the “Blue Ribbon Road,” it winds through dozens of tunnels and hundreds of curves away from rocky cliffs overlooking the sea. As you cross this scenic route, you will see up close the blue waters of the Gulf of Salerno and the colorful villages of the provinces of Sorrento, Positano, Praiano, Amalfi, Ravello, and Vietri sul Mare. Also, there is no way you will be amazed by the beauty of the topography of the coast which is full of vineyards, orchards, and pastures with enchanting views of the vibrant waters.

Here are some of the most beautiful villages that we recommend visiting on the most famous Italian Coast Road:

Sorrento. The gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is very beautiful and has become a major destination for tourists in recent years. Perched high above the Mediterranean Sea, it is like a balcony over the sea with views extending from Procida Island to Naples and Mount Vesuvius. When you get here, don't miss visiting the historic center, Tordigliano Beach (one of the most extensive marine protected areas), and Gallo Lungo Island.

Positano. With fringes of cubic buildings in pink hues, orchards of peaches and oranges with rock walls all around. Positano represents the luxury that tourists are looking for when they reach the coast, where restaurants, boutiques, and narrow streets fill the village. You will see elegant facades of buildings, simple life, and friendly locals.

Praiano. In contrast to Positano, Praiano is more discreet and quieter, almost a perfect holiday resort with whitewashed houses set against the green hills of Mount Sant'Angelo. Like other villages on the Amalfitan Coast, Praiano is being developed by the local authorities in order to prepare to face the hundreds of tourists who come to explore it. There are also about 300 stairs that descend from the Church of San Gennaro to Gavitelli Beach through a very picturesque path worth walking in. At the same time, you will get an amazing view of the entire valley. Finally, you should also visit the small and charming port of Marina di Praia, located between Praiano and Conca dei Marini.

Amalfi. A small city with a long and painful history, it was hit by an earthquake in 1343 that caused much of the ancient city to slide into the sea. Today, Amalfi has only 5,000 residents, but in the summer it becomes one of the busiest resorts in the region. But the increasing desire of travelers to see this small resort is not surprising at all. Caught between the mountains and the sea, this city is bordered by lemon groves that stretch as far as the eye can see. When you get here, visit St. Andrew's Basilica, the shopping street Lorenzo di Amalfi, and the charming village of Atrani, which is within walking distance of Amalfi.

Because it is so beautiful, Italy's Amalfitan Coast can get very crowded. But his charisma is already irresistible. Here you will find stunning beaches, pleasant weather, winding cliffs, idyllic villages, lush gardens, and breathtaking views which are some of the reasons why it makes sense to put a visit to the famous Italian beach in the south on your priority list for your next vacation.
