The Amalfi Coast: Where the Mountains Touch The Sea

The Amalfi Coast has something for everyone. The area is located on the "laces" of Italy's boot shape and is a delightful mix of mountain and sea. The amazing geographical features that result from this mix include coves, cliffs, arches, fjords, caverns, and bays – all natural elements that together produce a magical landscape that is ideal for your next holiday.
The Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is what Homer referred to as the Sirens in the classic "Odysseus." And it still lives up to this title today. From large cities to quaint villages, this coastline has it all.
