The Amalfi Coast - Paperback

by Enrico Massetti (Author)

The Amalfi Coast is without a doubt the most spectacular and beautiful coastline in Italy. Moorish style villages cling to the dramatic jagged cliffs, perched over the rippling waves below. The air is scented with lemons and wild herbs, and of course the sea. The villages that string along the Amalfi Coast have cobblestoned streets lined with bougainvillea-covered villas, Arabic arches, and countless corners with million dollar views. The magic of the ""Costa Amalfitana"" is that while it is a magnet for jet-setters and home to a multitude of ultra luxury five star hotels, Michelin starred restaurants and yachts, what characterizes the region is its effortless Mediterranean simplicity. This guide leads you in a drive in the Amalfi Coast, starting from Salerno and touching Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Erchie, Minori, Ravello, Amalfi, the Emerald Grotto, Furore, Positano to arrive in Sorrento. It includes photos and descriptions of the attractions of all the localities touched.
