Amalfi Coast
Divine is one of many
adjectives that could be used to
describe Italy’s Amalfi Coast; a stretch
of coast that links Positano to Vietri
sul Mare, lying at the gates of Salerno.
Surrounded by steep rugged mountain
cliffs 700 meters high, that drop
dramatically into the deep blue
Mediterranean sea, chances are after
visiting Amalfi you won't want to leave.
The mesmerizing
views located at every twist and turn of
the coast's
winding road,
can never be escaped, leaving one with
the sensation that they may be trapped
in a visually stunning paradise.
Small picturesque fishing villages are
scattered in clusters along the coastal
drive, built upon the front faces of
mountains and cliffs and painted in
extraordinary color.
Is not only the locations of many of
these residences that are mesmerizing,
but the astounding gardens, terraces,
lemon trees, olive and grape vines, and
an array of flowers which surround them
in an array of color.
One can feel the presence of a rich
history and culture within the many
towns along the coastal route.
Take your pick of one or all towns to
stop in, to breathe, taste and
experience the magic of color, aroma of
the sea and warmth of the people, on the
Amalfi Coast.
