Editorial Overview

Pastel villages clinging to dramatic sea cliffs, sun-drenched lemon groves, and Italian glamour.

Carved into sheer limestone cliffs rising dramatically out of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Amalfi Coast is Italy's most intoxicating coastal sanctuary. Pastel-washed villas tumble down vertiginous bluffs into turquoise coves, while fragrant lemon groves scent the winding cliffside roads. From the sun-drenched beach clubs of Positano to the high-perched musical gardens of Ravello, it is the pinnacle of romantic Mediterranean glamour.

Practical Travel Tips

Use public hydrofoil ferries between coastal towns to bypass heavy summer road traffic.
Wear sturdy walking shoes—Positano is composed almost entirely of vertical stone stairways.
