Sorrento - Views and Mountainside Villages above Amalfi

Along the serpentine roads cut into the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi coast are a peppering of beautiful mountainside villages, the likes of which are usually only found on postcards. The white and pastel painted box-like houses almost seem like a natural projection of the cliffs themselves. Hugged by dark green trees and neatly laid out agricultural plots, the villages gaze out towards the sea. The altitude is a lot higher than many think and the villages are often swathed in an ethereal mist. The tourist industry has done little damage to the character of these towns and whether exploring the coast on scooter, or hired car, it always feels like you have hit upon an undiscovered gem of this idyllic coastline.
