Province of Salerno Travel Guide

The Amalfi Coast seriously challenges anyone who sets out to describe it in original language, without resorting to what has already been said or written, or to the usual clichés. A holiday in Amalfi is an almost indescribable experience because of the magic and extraordinary beauty of its sites. Headlands, fjords, coves, caves and breathtaking views form a backdrop to what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow described as the "land beyond the sea, Where the waves and mountains meet". Holidays in Amalfi are the perfect way to experience the real beauty of the Amalfi Coast and enjoy every aspect.

It's hard to find the right words to describe the Amalfi Coast. Only a holiday in Positano will convey its unique charm, although trying to capture the beauty of this place in words is no simple feat. Take advantage of the holiday packages to Positano and discover why throughout the years writers, poets, directors and film actors have loved it, making it one of Italy's most famous destinations.

Though often overshadowed by neighboring Amalfi, the architecture, parks and excellent food here present compelling arguments to linger.

This is a delightful resort of light colored houses with flower-filled balconies and a maze of narrow streets that wind around a steep hillside.

Flower-filled gardens of exotic plants and an international arts festival make this hilltop village one of the most popular destinations on the Amalfi Coast.

Relax on the beach, check out ancient churches, order pasta on the promenade and take to the water on a boat.
