Amalfi Coast
Interesting facts and tips for visiting the beauties of the Amalfi Coast
The charm of the Amalfi Coast easily translates into magic, that of a dream journey through prestigious locations suspended between rugged mountains and the blue sea, which, as the true protagonist, encompasses a history as ancient as it is glorious.
Visiting the Amalfi Coast is a gradual reawakening of the senses, with particular pleasure for sight, smell and taste.
Recommended periods? Practically everyone, given the particularly mild climate in every season.
Atrani, the timeless village
Nestled in the stunning Amalfi Coast, Atrani retains the charm of an ancient medieval village untouched by time, a corner of paradise far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Strolling through the narrow streets and alleys of this enchanting place, you can breathe in the pleasant scent of citrus fruits coming from the surrounding lemon groves, which mingles with the scent of the sea.
Soggiornare ad Atrani è l’ideale per godersi il mare e la piccola spiaggia dalla sabbia fine, ideale punto di partenza per gli amanti del trekking e delle passeggiate, e per l’inimitabile freschezza della cucina tradizionale e gli eventi più particolari, come la Sagra del pesce azzurro o il Capodanno Bizantino, con i suoi preziosi costumi d’epoca.
Amalfi
The undisputed queen of the coast and the oldest of the Maritime Republics, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Getting lost in the maze of narrow streets behind St. Andrew's Cathedral is a pleasure.
Discover the ancient arsenals of the Maritime Republic and The Valley of the Mills with the paper mills of Amalfi, the famous “carta bambagina“, so called because it is velvety to the touch, made of pure cellulose.
Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when merchants from the first Maritime Republic sailed the seas in their galleys and frequented the Arab ports of the Mediterranean.
Conclude your visit with a seafood lunch and delicious limoncello, a local liqueur made from fragrant sfusato amalfitano lemons grown on the terraces typical of the Amalfi Coast.
Conca dei Marini
Just 4 km from Amalfi, it is a delightful seaside resort, with striking cliffs that give the impression of being able to touch the sky with your finger.
A visit to the Emerald Cave is not to be missed.
Ravello
It stands out for its artistic flair and is nicknamed the ‘city of music’. Da non perdere uno dei concerti del Ravello Festival, dalle splendide terrazze di Villa Rufolo e Cimbrone.
Positano
It offers some of the most enchanting views of the entire coast, which is why it is known as the Pearl of the Amalfi Coast. Positano can be explored entirely on foot. It is built practically vertically above the sea and is characterised by unique stairways flanked by artisan boutiques that are hard to find elsewhere, making it a paradise for shopping enthusiasts!
The Furore Fjord
It jealously guards its treasures. Difficult to discover by chance, fascinating to see and experience, characterised by an inlet typical of northern European countries but with a typically Mediterranean village. A delightful contrast that is difficult to describe, but exceptional to discover.
