The perfect itinerary for an unforgettable Amalfi Coast adventure

The Amalfi Coast is renowned for its long stretch of gorgeous coastline, pretty Mediterranean fishing villages and dramatic, rugged cliffs. It’s a popular tourist destination and it’s easy to see why. 

Located in the Campania region, this area of Italy is known for its sunny climate, mild temperatures and unspoilt scenery. There’s an abundance of things to see and do along the coastline so, if you’re wanting to make the Amalfi Coast part of your tour of Italy, then it’s a good idea to plan your itinerary beforehand. 

Positano 

Perched on a cliffside, Positano is a pretty village with a pebble beach and an array of cafes and boutiques. Providing excellent sunbathing and swimming opportunities, many tourists flock to Spiaggia Grande, a trendy hotspot for celebrities. However, if you’re looking for a slightly more relaxed and idyllic location, then Fornillo beach might be more your style. 

Positano is a haven for artisan gifts and crafts with authentic shoes, clothing and decorations for sale. There are also some lively entertainment venues including Music On the Rocks nightclub with its cave-like atmosphere and famous restaurants including the popular Saraceno d’Oro, serving authentic wood-fired pizza. 

Capri 

No trip to the Amalfi Coast would be complete without visiting the stunning island of Capri. With just two towns, Capri and Anacapri, it’s a tiny location with bags of charm and appeal. Although it’s widely known as a playground for the rich and famous, Capri has much to offer every visitor. 

Take a relaxing boat trip and discover the incredible scenery of the crystal-clear waters or enjoy a stroll around the charming towns and marvel at the views from Monte Solaro. The Blue Grotto is Capri’s most famous attraction. A cave that opens up into the sea, this is a must-visit, although it can get rather busy during peak travel season. 

Ravello

This gorgeous town combines the best of authentic Italy with a touch of luxury. Known for its impressive concert hall, Ravello is home to an extensive programme of music events. The Chiesa Dell’Annunziata church is also well worth a visit, if only for the far-reaching views. 

The old town offers a great selection of cafes, shops and boutiques and is perfect for a leisurely walk. 

Sorrento 

It might not officially be part of the Amalfi Coast but Sorrento deserves a place in any southern Italy itinerary. The Sorrento peninsula features some of the best scenery along the coast. Enjoy traditional Italian charm mixed with contemporary luxuries in the form of pretty marinas, olive farms, authentic restaurants and boutique hotels. 

As well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Amalfi Coast is unrivalled in its Italian beauty. A magical tour of this picturesque destination offers the chance to really unwind and take in the awe-inspiring surroundings.
