The Amalfi Coast

How to find us

Also known as "The Divine Coast", the Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. It is in the Campania region of southern Italy and is a must-see on any tour of the country.

The landscapes feature spectacular cliffs that plunge into the sea, with a succession of small bays and coves, caves and rock sculptures, all of which are the work of one unrivalled artist: the sea.

Inland, you may see verdant terraces nestling among sheer drops and rugged crags.

Artistic beauty and a lively social scene complete a scene which visitors from all over the world have made into one of the most famous destinations for international tourism.
