Amalfi Coast Travel Guide Video

South of Naplesis a region of great natural beauty with a magnificent coastal road, lined bylemon trees, vineyards and dramatic rocks and quaint villages. This is the AmalfiCoast.

The Amalfi Coast is arugged coastal area, with ancient ruins, towns, villages and vineyards crowningthe rocks. Villas and churches sit on cliffs, beside sheer drops straight intothe sea. Travel the coastal roads and round every bend on the 45-kilometercoastal road you’ll encounter yet another spectacular view.

The Amalfi Coast hasenjoyed a reputation as an exclusive residence for the wealthy and famous. Assuch, you will find exclusive bars, restaurants and hotels,but that doesn’t mean the area doesn’t cater for the budget traveller too, withplenty of charming bed & breakfasts on offer.

For most visitors relaxation is at the top of thelist. The beaches are narrow, popular and often very busy. The coastline isdotted with small coves, which are usually difficult to reach from land, butare great to explore by boat.

Along the coastline there are many hiking trails tobe followed, where you can explore the region’s unique nature. One of the mostpopular and least strenuous is the "Path of the Gods' - all you need is agood pair of walking shoes!

Want some natural beauty with a little less effort?Then the gardens of VillaCimbrone and VillaRufolo are perfect. Stroll leisurely through the terraced gardens,which have been constructed high above the sea. The gardens are filled withthousands of flowers and offer beautiful views of the coastline below.
