This is the country where the fragrance of freshly scented lemons harmonises with the most fragrant of the Mediterranean flora and the pungent flavour of salinity; where the bright colours of the maolica cupolas, bougainvilleas and clove pearls give the characteristic white-washed buildings a distinct colourful note, clinginging to the last foothills of the Lattari Mounts, which fall draconian.

There is no gap between the mountains and the sea: over the course of the ages, the slopes of the mountains have been laid out in terraces, formed into farm swaths by man and already in the Renaissance they have been likened to the famous Hesperides of the famous author and natural scientist Giambattista Della Porta. The 163th street was constructed in the first half of the XIXth cent. during the Bourbon times and has always been one of the most attractive streets in Italy.

Follow the coast's course, the itinerary is full of bends that nestle between the rocks and rocks of the ocean, providing new and dramatic images at the end of every single channel or every single one. Prior to the building of the coast highway, the local people arrived in all the cities via trails and hiking trails that still exist and that are particularly popular with trekkers because of their breathtaking outlooks.

Amalfi is the city that gives its name to the coast, located at the estuary of the Valle dei Mulini; it was the first of the four maritime republics in Italy and for a long period had a trading empire with the East. Looks like a collection of whitish buildings that cling to the rocks and are linked by roofed lanes and stairs.

In the middle of the central plaza is the magnificent cathedral of St. Andrew with its imposing stairs, the Arab-Norman belltower and the enchanting cloister of paradise. Atrani is a lovely and enchanting city at the confluence of the Valle del Dragone and is a delightful amphitheatre by the seaside, which offers the visitors pictorial vistas and the enjoyment of spending a moment of relaxation on the central plaza, away from the crowds and very near the bath.

In the time of the old seaside republic of Amalfi, the Dogs officially inaugurated in the precious church of San Salvatore de' Birecto (X century). The Conca of the Marini, a seaside town with a centuries-old marine heritage, is a delightful terrace with views of the ocean, encircled by Mediterranean flora and terrace garden with lemon groves "Sfusato Amalfitano".

It is also known as "the city that does not exist" because it is encircled by dispersed towns encircled by terrace-like hills. It' also known as " the picturesque hamlet " because of the lovely "en plane air" mural paintings on the white walls of the townhouses. The city of the fjord, which has been cut by the Schiato stream over the course of the ages and where the MarMeeting - High Diving World Championship is held every first Sunday in July, is primarily a furore.

The old part of the city boasts nice neoclassic architecture and old arched dwellings, the first settlements of the seaside city, constructed around the mediaeval fort of Thoro-Plano. The small city of the divine coast is encircled by luxuriant patio garden and conceals valuable architectonic gems, such as the remains of the villa in Rome (1st c. A.D.), the basilica of Santa Trofimena and the Arab-Norman Annunziata belltower.

Positano is renowned by post-war internationals for its hand-made leathersandals and cotton/linen clothing (the so named "Moda Positano"), for its Mediterranean styled XIX-XX centuries houses and its post card landscape with the backdrop of the tile domes of the Principal Canyon and the Li Galli Isles.

Praiano, with its unspoilt and authentically ambience, far away from the crowds, is characterised by small alleys that lead through the Mediterranean flora, patio garden and characteristic homes that lead directly to the seas. This is the place to admire the most beautiful sunsets of the whole coast: the violet colour of the violet light gradually disappearing behind the hills and illuminated in the back by Capri with its Faraglioni, the Sorrento peninsula and Punta Campanella.

Ravello, already lauded by the famous Boccaccio in his Decameron, with his postcards and his refined ambience, which was a fountain of inspirations for Richard Wagner, who envisioned the magic Klingsor Garden and admired the Villa Rufolo Garden. The Ravello is one of the oldest festivals in Italy for performers and hosts a new major annual event covering all artisans.

From Villa Cimbrone Belvedere, the views are truly breathtaking and definitely one of the most renowned in the game! Remains of the Basilica of Sant'Eustachio, the biggest of the Duchy of Amalfi, are located in a panorama setting with views of the town of Pontone and still show the fine inlays on the outside of the apse, frescos and valuable marbles.

This city is a harmonious coexistence of elegant structures with their ornate façades and the quaint rolling hills of Raito and Albori, where you can still admire an ancient ambience, the original Solimene Keramik Fabricby Paolo Soleri and the neo-classical Villa Guariglia, whose Belvedere Tower is home to the Provincial Museum of Ceramics.
