Feel like a sunny coastline holiday in Italy? Then look no further than the stunning Amalfi coast, a stunning stretch of land in Salerno province in the southern Italian region of Campania. In 1997, the Amalfi coastline won the lavish award of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its admirable beauty and rich natural diversity.

The Amalfi coast is scattered with quaint little seaside towns, many of which date back to the Middle Ages.

Be sure to visit some of them on your travels here; especially Amalfi and Ravello which are home to some magnificent artistic and architectural masterpieces!

Visitors will appreciate the perfect merging of man-made structures with nature along this stunning stretch of land and sea. Buildings were constructed to suit the natural rise and fall of coastal rock.

There are many sandy beaches along the Amalfi coast to spend a few hours sunbathing on. Or dive into the crystal clear waters that lap along its shores.

Why not rent some snorkelling or scuba diving equipment so you can explore the colourful marine life that thrived under the surface of the Amalfi coastline?

The Amalfi coast in Campania is perfect to visit all year around as it benefits from a typical Mediterranean climate of hot summers and mild winters. Travel along this stretch of paradise by a winding road connecting the towns and villages here or even better, travel by boat!

The Amalfi coast has an abundance of wonderful things to do and see on your next Italian vacation so why not make your thrilling plans to come here soon!
