Things To Do
Villa Rufolo
Built by a wealthy merchant family in the 13th century, the villa has a rich and storied past. Boccaccio, one of the earliest authors of the Italian renaissance, wrote a story about the villa and its owner in his Decameron, which was published in 1353.
Duomo - Ravello
The Duomo, which faces the main square (Piazza Vescovado), is the spiritual and social center of Ravello.
Positano
Positano is often considered to be one of the most picturesque towns on the Amalfi coast and it is easy to see why when you look at the beautiful colored houses that lie the mountainside. This town is located on the southern arm of the Amalfi coast and is accessible by bus.
Valle delle Ferriere
The Ferriere Valley is a protected area in the province of Salerno and is a wonderful region to explore for those who enjoy hiking and the outdoors. Throughout this region you can find some absolutely stunning natural scenery and there is a myriad of hiking trails that wind through the luscious forests. This protected area is relatively private and you won't see the usual bustle of tourists found in the busy coastal towns of Amalfi.
Capri
Capri is a truly magical place and one of the most popular destinations on the Amalfi Coast. This island sits just off of the western edge of the Amalfi Coast and can be reached via regular ferries from several of the coastal towns. Capri is known for its gorgeous landscapes, its array of beautiful beaches and its superb mountain views. Consider taking a boat trip from Positano to explore this magical place and ensure you stay through until the evening. At night, Capri has a vibrant nightlife and the main square has a handful of bustling bars and a superb atmosphere.
Path of the Gods
The name of the hike, The Path of the Gods, is an indication of the spectacular scenery. Ideally, people should walk from Agerola to Nocelle, and not vice-versa; the route runs gently downhill from this direction, with magnificent views of the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri.
Pompeii
Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.
Cathedral of Saint Andrew the Apostle
Duomo di Amalfi; Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo, in Amalfi. Built in the 9th century, it has been added to and redecorated several times, overlaying Arab-Norman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque elements, and finally a new 19th century Norman-Arab-Byzantine facade.
Fiordo di Furore
If you’re in search of a beach with incredible scenery, head to the town of Furore, where a gigantic fjord opens up to create its very own hidden beach. The narrow bay of the fjord invites those who decide to descend down the long staircase leading to the bottom to enjoy the inlet. A bridge that spans the length of the fjord allows you to look down and get a magnificent view above the area.
