The Amalfi Coast is a stretch of mountainous coastline on the south of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula. Amalfi Coast holidays offer pretty villages, breathtaking cliff views, stylish restaurants and shops, warm weather, cheap airline tickets and a wide range of travel options.
Nestled on the edge of the sea between two huge outcrops of rock, sits the main town of Amalfi, which makes an excellent base for a holiday in the area. Its impressive Cathedral, the Duomo of St. Andrews with the famous Paradise Cloisters and a thirteenth century crypt, is located in the main square and the focal point of the town.
Another popular base for holidays on the Amalfi Coast is the town of Ravello, perched high in the mountains overlooking the sea. Ravello is well-known for its beautiful gardens and villas, including the Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo, and for its classical music concerts and excellent restaurants. Fashionable Positano is home to some of the most luxurious Amalfi coast hotels, and has whitewashed houses, magnificent villas, and stylish seafront bars and boutiques.
