About this destination

The Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site of dramatic cliffs, pastel villages and turquoise seas along southern Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula. Positano’s cascading houses, Ravello’s gardens and Amalfi’s medieval cathedral define the iconic landscape.

Summer is glittering but crowded; spring and early autumn offer the best balance of weather and tranquillity. The interior is rugged and dotted with lemon groves, and hiking trails connect the villages along the coast.
