Amalfi Coast
Experiences
The most enchanting and most visited route in Campania is that skirting the southern flank of Sorrento's peninsula: the Costiera Amalfitana (Amalfi Coast). Among the popular pleasures here are dining on locally caught grilled fish and sipping icy Lacrima Christi wine from the vineyards on the slopes of Vesuvius, interspersed with beach hopping and trips to coastal summit to admire the breathtaking views.
From Sorrento, a well developed vacation resort, the road winds down to Positano, a village clambering down a vertiginous slope to the sea. Amalfi is the coast's largest town. Its chief glory is a lovely 10th century duomo fronted by a rich, colored facade. Rovallo has the best views on this coast. Poised on a shelf above Amalfi, the best vantage point are the gardens of Villa Ruffolo and Cimbrone.
