Things to do in Amalfi

Located at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto, Amalfi is the main gem of what is called Costiera Amalfitana, or the Amalfi Coast. Being now one of the top touristic destinations in Italy along with such cities as Positano, Portofino and others, centuries ago Amalfi used to be the the capital of maritime republic and an important Mediaterranean trading port. Nowadays, the picturesque coastal scenery and steep cliffs surrounding the town of Amalfi attract thousands of visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, experience the traditional Italian coastal lifestyle, and enjoy the unique local climate. No wonder, Amalfi is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the authenticity of this town is protected and encouraged both by locals and the State.
