Breathtakingly beautiful views at almost every turn, the scenic route along the Amalfi Coast winds its way from Naples to Salerno and is celebrated as one of the most romantic and stunning stretches of coastline anywhere in the world. Along this stretch there are plenty of beautiful little villages perched on the cliff sides, with cobblestoned streets and colourful piazzas laden with fragrant flowers. Off the beaten track, there are deserted pathways to explore, along with pretty pebble beaches and secluded coves.
Among the area’s unique attractions are the extraordinary classical ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii and of course the mighty volcano that destroyed them 2000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius. The area boasts just as much beauty as historical interest with its cascading cliff sides, beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters.
