The Amalfi Coast is located on the southern side of Sorrento's peninsula. There is one main road which winds along the Amalfi Coast. Driving in this area is definitely an experience and parking can be a challenge. There is bus service connecting towns along the Amalfi Coast and some towns have local bus service. With many paths along the cliffs, the Amalfi Coast is an ideal place for walking. Follow one of these winding paths from the main road down to the sea and take a swim. It is also possible to walk between towns, but watch out for cars on the narrow winding road.

Positano is a beautiful seaside village clambering down a steep slope to the sea. Enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of this charming seaside village. Walk to the beach and go for a swim, admire painters' work, window shop at the colorful boutiques, or stroll the narrow streets of the vibrant, fashionable center. Positano has a shuttle bus which makes a continuous loop taking riders up and/or down from the heart of the town at sea level to places perched high on the hillside.
As is the rule in Italy, dining on the Amalfi Coast is a wonderful experience. Dine on locally caught fresh seafood while sipping lacrima christi wine. Sample limoncello, a sweet lemon liquor. On warm afternoons, cool off with lemonade made with fresh locally grown lemons or enjoy an icy granita. Try the various types of pastries from the region.

There's plenty to do on the Amalfi Coast. See the lovely 10th century duomo in Amalfi, shop for ceramics in the town of Vietri sul Mare, and enjoy the spectacular views from Ravello. For those wishing to venture a bit farther out, there's lots to see in the surrounding area as well. Take a day trip to Pompei, spend a day exploring the Island of Capri, or visit Paestum, an ancient Greek site.
