Along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, steep cliffs drop into a deep-blue sea, and small towns are built directly into the rock. Roads and stairways connect compact centers lined with pastel-toned houses, while terraced slopes support lemon groves and Mediterranean vegetation. The coastline is known for scenic views, a mild climate, and a long tourism tradition shaped by local culture and natural beauty.
At its center is Positano, a vertical town of domes, steps, and beaches where buildings descend toward the shore in tight layers. Widely appreciated for its views and distinctive architecture, Positano blends historic character with modern hospitality and services.
Recently, the town inaugurated a public elevator from the main street, allowing easier access to upper areas. The lift reduces the need to climb long stairways and improves access to Villa Dorata, a luxury private palazzo high above the village.

A winding scenic drive along the coastal road, known for its hairpin bends and spectacular views, takes visitors to Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and the spellbinding uphill town of Ravello, with its incomparable belvedere. Any of these popular resort towns along the coast are good bases for exploring the surrounding areas. Buses and ferries run frequently and are the most convenient way to reach other towns while avoiding what could be a challenging drive in the bustling summer traffic. Other excursion possibilities include a boat trip to the islands of Capri and Ischia, a visit to the vibrant cities of Napoli, Salerno, or the gracious Sorrento, or an exploration of Pompeii and Herculaneum - the fascinating ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the 1st century A.D.
The Amalfi Coast offers an abundance of cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants on its vertical terrain. Most beaches are small pebble inlets of land thus the best way to enjoy the sand and the turquoise water is to tour the area by boat and let an expert local captain take you to his favorite spots or suggest the best seaside restaurants. A memorable experience!
