The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful destinations in Italy, renowned for its iconic coastline with a breathtaking combination of sparkling blue waters and vast limestone cliffs. Picture pastel-coloured towns tumbling down the cliffside, winding roads offering jaw-dropping views at every turn, and scenery that's Insta ready. It's no surprise the whole area is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For the best of both worlds, we'd suggest kicking things off in Naples – a few days of buzzing city life before you slow right down on the coast.
Each town along the coast has its own charm. Positano is the postcard-perfect star of the show, with steep streets, boutique shopping and glamorous beach clubs. Amalfi offers a fascinating history as a former maritime republic, complete with a striking cathedral and charming piazzas, while Ravello sits high above the coast, famous for its gardens and sweeping panoramic views. If you're short on time, we'd recommend basing yourself in Amalfi itself, as it's the easiest town to reach the others from by boat. Whichever town you choose, you're guaranteed cobbled streets, warm hospitality and that unmistakable laid-back Italian charm. And then there's the food – think fresh seafood, sun-ripened lemons the size of your fist, and the region's famous limoncello. Whether you're soaking up the views from a clifftop terrace, hopping between towns by boat, or simply relaxing on the beach, the Amalfi Coast promises la dolce vita at its most beautiful.
