Positano’s pastel houses stacked on the hillside above the beach

Campania, Italy

Amalfi Coast

Pastel villages stacked above a deep blue sea.

Towns such as Positano and Amalfi cling to cliffs along a winding coastal road. Days here move between ferries, beaches, lemon groves and hillside paths, which makes it a natural place to split plans and costs with a travel companion.

Best for

  • Coastline
  • Ferries and boats
  • Hiking paths
  • Slow travel

Good to know

  • The coastal road is narrow; ferries between towns are often the more relaxed option.
  • Many stays are reached by long flights of steps; pack light.
  • The Path of the Gods is a well-known hike above the coast.
