The Amalfi Coast lies south of the Sorrento Peninsula, which is most famous for the town of Sorrento itself and its green cliffs overlooking the Gulf of Naples, Capri and Ischia Islands. The Amalfi Coast is most renowned for its famous cliffs, terraced with lemon and olive groves sloping down directly into sparkling blue seas; whitewashed villages clinging precariously to steep slopes while sea and sky look as one vast blue horizon. Positano and Amalfi are the coast's most renowned, expensive and photogenic villages and a day-trip option not to miss. For centuries, after Amalfi ceased been a maritime superpower, the area became poor and its isolated villages regular victims of foreign raids, earthquakes and landslides. Thanks to this very isolation, the Amalfi Coast retained its unspoilt beauty, the very reason that drew visitors in the early 1900s. Today the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's top destinations, a favourite of jet-setters and honeymooners or couples simply seeking for romance.
