Amalfi Coast Italy
Italy's most scenic stretch of shoreline and a playground for the rich and famous.
Cobblestone streets lined with bougainvillea-covered villas, back-dropped by mountains swathed in green and the cobalt blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Widely considered to be Italy’s most picturesque coastline, the Amalfi Coast’s breath-taking landscape of towering bluffs and pastel-hued villages terraced into the tumbling hillsides have long made it a magnet for the world’s exclusive travellers.
Snaking along the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi Coast was in 1997 deemed by UNESCO as 'an outstanding example of Mediterranean landscape, with exceptional natural scenic value’ and was awarded a coveted spot on the World Heritage list. It’s easy to see why when you experience first-hand the magnificent white-washed cliffs that sheer down into the sparkling sea, interrupted only by precipitous corniche roads and vibrant lemon groves.
