The Amalfi Coast: unmissable villages, trails, and views
The Amalfi Coast is a true jewel of Southern Italy, one of those unforgettable places. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers an extraordinary mix of wild nature, ancient history, and Mediterranean culture. Each twist and turn of the coastline reveals postcard-worthy views, and every village has its own unique story to tell.
Wander through the narrow, scented streets of Positano, with pastel-colored houses that seem to defy gravity. Get lost in the alleys, enjoy stunning terraces, and soak up the chic, relaxed atmosphere. Head next to Ravello, a natural balcony suspended over the sea. Visit Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, two historic gardens where architecture and nature blend to create dreamy scenery.
Don’t miss a stop in Amalfi, queen of the coast, where the majestic Cathedral of Sant’Andrea dominates the main square with its spectacular Arab-Norman facade. It’s a charming location perfect for immersing yourself in art, history, and local flavors.
If you love hiking, wear comfortable shoes and follow the famous Path of the Gods. From Bomerano to Nocelle, this breathtaking trail offers spectacular views over the Gulf of Salerno—an unforgettable experience for trekkers and photographers alike.
For a taste of local tradition, the Paper Museum in Amalfi takes you on a fascinating journey through handmade paper production, one of the area’s historic excellences. Ideal for an educational and curious outing, even with children.
Flavors you’ll never forget
The Amalfi Coast wouldn’t be complete without its incredible cuisine, a true highlight of your journey. The aromas and tastes of this land tell stories of sea, sun, and tradition.
If you love pasta, you can’t miss scialatielli ai frutti di mare, handmade pasta generously seasoned with mussels, clams, shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and parsley. For dessert, indulge in a true Amalfi classic: the lemon Delizia al Limone. Made from soft sponge cake, velvety lemon cream, and citrus glaze, every bite tastes like summer.
Strolling through small kiosks and seaside squares, you’ll encounter the famous sfogliatelle, crispy pastries filled with ricotta, semolina, and candied orange peel. Cheese lovers should seek out mozzarella nella mortella, fresh cheese wrapped in myrtle leaves, a delicacy that embodies the rural authenticity of Campania.
Each taste here is a simple and passionate way to discover the region’s soul.
