The famous Amalfi Coast is the area on the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula of Italy.
It goes from Positano and spreads almost all the way to Salerno.
Breathtaking is a word that could be used to describe it.
There are people who travel to Italy solely to visit this beautiful area.
Just one visit and you will understand why! The coastal towns and villages welcome travelers from all over the world who come for delicious home made cuisine.
You will find family owned shops that have selling breads, local cheeses and sausages for centuries.
Of course, there is an ample supply of local wines, so it might be a good idea to treat yourself to a chauffeur driver who is familiar with the cliffside road.
The coastal road is well known for being tremendously beautiful, as well as a marvel of engineering.
As a passenger, you will not be able to take your eyes off the beautiful beaches, from the top of the cliffs upon which the road sits.
A glance downward can be startling for those afraid of heights, so if you are a driving, you will want to try your best not to be distracted! It is a part of Italy that attracts millions every year and is, for many, the driving experience of a lifetime! During the summer months, it can be hard to find an available vehicle, so make sure you book your rental car in advance next time you travel to Italy.
You will be glad you did!
