Italy - The Amalfi Coast

The serpentine Amalfi Coast in the Campania region of Italy is simply littered with beauty and picturesque Italian towns. Beginning at the atmospheric cliff top seaside resort of Sorrento, the coast snakes along the Mediterranean Sea. Sorrento is filled with friendly bars and restaurants (including some of the best fish restaurants) all centred around the main square, the Piazza Tasso. Sunbathers can soak up the Italian sun on either one of the small sunbathing areas made up of volcanic sand and small pebbles, or one of the many wooden jetty-like sunbathing platforms. A short jaunt across the water is the beautifully enigmatic island of Capri whilst further south down the coast, there are countless picture postcard towns nestling along the rugged Amalfi rocks such as Ravello, Positano and Amalfi itself. The views are stunning and there is an extraordinary timeless quality. Rent a scooter and check it out.
