· Travel team
Lykkers, imagine a place where turquoise waves kiss pastel cliffs, and every cobblestone path leads to a story.
The Amalfi Coast isn't just a destination—it's a sensory symphony. From cliffside villages to cloud-high trails, let's uncover six spots that redefine paradise.
Positano's Vertical Charm
Start with Positano, the coast's crown jewel. Accessible only by ferry (€20–€25 from Sorrento) or SITA bus (€2.50), this pyramid-shaped village demands sturdy shoes. Climb its 600+ staircases to discover boutique shops and lemon-themed cafes. For panoramic views, head to Hotel Le Sirenuse's terrace. Pro tip: Visit before 9 AM to avoid crowds.

Path of the Gods
Next, conquer the Path of the Gods, a 7km hiking trail 630m above sea level. Start in Agerola (reachable by bus 5080 from Amalfi, €2) and trek through wild rosemary and olive groves. The trail ends in Nocelle, where a €3 lemon granita awaits. Wear hiking boots—the rocky path is free but treacherous. April or October offers cooler temps and fewer tourists.
Furore's Hidden Cove
The Fiordo di Furore isn't a fjord—it's a pebble beach tucked between cliffs. Take bus 5070 (€2) from Amalfi to Furore, then descend 300 steps to the cove. Arrive by 10 AM to snag a spot on the tiny shore, or rent a kayak (€20/hour) from Positano. Don't miss the arched bridge above—perfect for Instagram shots at golden hour.
Amalfi's Historic Heart
The town of Amalfi blends history and citrus. Visit the 9th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea (€3 entry) and its Cloister of Paradise. Then, tour the Museo della Carta (€4.50), a medieval paper mill. Stock up on sfusato lemons at Pasticceria Pansa—their €5 lemon delizia cake is iconic. Ferries run hourly to Salerno (€8) and Capri (€25).
Ravello's Sky-High Gardens
Escape the coast to Ravello, a mountaintop haven. Take bus 5110 (€2.50) from Amalfi and explore Villa Rufolo (€7 entry), famed for its Moorish arches and summer music festival. Walk 10 minutes to Villa Cimbrone (€10 entry), where the Terrace of Infinity offers dizzying sea views. Pack a picnic—Ravello's restaurants charge €25+ for pasta.
Vietri's Ceramic Wonderland
End in Vietri sul Mare, the coast's ceramics capital. Browse Ceramica Artistica Solimene (free entry), a kaleidoscopic factory, or join a €30 pottery workshop. The Villa Comunale's tiled staircase leads to a quiet beach—ideal for sunset. Trains to Salerno run every 30 minutes (€1.50), making Vietri an easy day trip.
Final Tips
The Amalfi Coast thrives on spontaneity—but plan wisely. Book ferries online to save time, carry cash for family-run shops, and avoid July-August crowds. Whether you're sipping €2 espresso in Positano or hunting ceramic souvenirs in Vietri, let this coast rewrite your definition of magic. Ready to chase that horizon?
