Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is located in the southern Italian region of Campania, known for its rich history and picturesque landscapes. It is famous for its amazingly beautiful coastline with small fishing villages and majestic cliffs. Italians claim that the Amalfi Coast is a completely different Italy. Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The length is about 50 kilometers. The nearest major city is Naples.
Pride of Italy
The Amalfi Coast boasts such famous cities as Amalfi, Praiano and Furore. Amalfi - the heart of the Amalfi Coast - is deservedly considered one of the main attractions of Italy. The small towns of this amazing place, washed by the warm waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Salerno, are located along the coast on the rocky cliffs of the Lattari mountain range.
Rocky slopes give way to forests, orange and olive groves and terraces occupied by grape plantations. Flowery houses, as if immersed in the greenery of citrus orchards, form an amazingly beautiful picture created by nature itself. It is worth noting that in 1997, for its unique landscapes and historical value, the Amalfi Coast was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
