Amalfi Coast
Positano's scenic shore
The Amalfi Coast is a stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, known for dramatic cliffs, colorful villages, and Mediterranean scenery.
The towns of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello draw tourists to its winding coastal roads and terraced hillsides: We spent a week driving the Amalfi Coast.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
