Indulge in La Dolce Vita: The Perfect Amalfi Coast Adventure

With its breathtaking views, picturesque villages, and timeless, glamorous vibe, it's no wonder the Amalfi Coast is one of 2025's most coveted summer destinations. Just south of Naples, this enchanting stretch of coastline is home to a collection of towns, each with its unique charm and character, all waiting to be discovered. 

Whether visitors choose to zoom around on a scooter or cruise the scenic Amalfi Coast Road by car, this iconic slice of Italy promises a Roman holiday to remember. Here's a guide to the area's must-see spots. 

Positano 

Positano is one of the first towns to welcome visitors on the Amalfi Coast. The cliffside village is so small that only one road runs through it. The resort destination is also a hub for international fashion, offering a unique experience throughout. 

Positano boasts one of the most extensive, most glamorous beaches on the Amalfi Coast, Spiaggia Grande. From here, the town's sea taxi service transports visitors to bays like Clavel and Cavone for more secluded swims. Fornillo beach is also a quieter spot, via a footpath from Spiagga Grande. 

Just off the shores of Positano are the three islets of Li Galli, which make for a great day trip from the town. Also known as the "Sirenuse," the isles are believed to have once been inhabited by sirens who seduced passing sailors. A boat tour can explore these hidden gems as well. 

In the nearby town of Praiano, visitors can also tour a family-run Amalfi lemon farm. Visitors can stroll through the beautiful terraced lemon groves and savor freshly made limoncello. 

Amalfi

At the foot of Monte Carreto, surrounded by tall cliffs and gorgeous coastal scenery, sits the namesake town of the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi is known for its medieval architecture, specifically the Cathedral of Saint Andrew. 

Dating back to the 11th century, the cathedral is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Italy. In addition to breathtaking frescoes, mosaics, paintings, and ceilings, it features a 62-step staircase and an impressive façade. The cathedral overlooks the Piazza Duomo, which is the center of the town. 

You can also delight in a trip to the Amalfi Paper Museum. Housed in an ancient paper mill, it features exhibits on the history and production of paper in Amalfi. Nearby is the Amalfi Lemon Experience, a family-run farm that offers lemon grove tours and cooking classes. 

Just north of Amalfi lies the Valle delle Ferriere, a lush valley filled with untouched plants, animals, waterfalls, and streams. This nature reserve also features ancient water mills and ironworks, making for a unique hiking experience. 

Capri

Although not part of the Amalfi Coast, the island of Capri and its namesake town are a must-see for visitors to the area. Located in the Bay of Naples, it's easily accessible from the Amalfi Coast by ferry or hydrofoil. 

Capri offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, luxury, and history. Known for its mesmerizing Blue Grotto and iconic Faraglioni Rocks, the island has long been a retreat for emperors, artists, and celebrities alike. Experience its breathtaking views by hiking the many scenic trails or relaxing in the perfectly manicured Gardens of Augustus. 

Via Camerelle offers a mix of high-end boutiques, designer stores, and jewelry shops. There's more to explore in the Piazzetta, where you can enjoy a coffee, gelato, or aperitivo. 

Boat tours of the island deliver unmatched views of the coastline and a way to explore its many secluded coves. For history lovers, Villa Jovis offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean and a glimpse into Capri's ancient past. The site was the imperial residence of Emperor Tiberius during Roman times.
