This stretch of coastline, stretching from the towns of Positano to Vietri, is a little slice of paradise. From breathtaking views, history, beaches, hiking to wonderful food – everyone will find something here. More famous towns, such as Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano, despite being touristy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A holiday on the Amalfi Coast depends greatly on the place you choose as your base. Also, it depends on the season – in summer there are a lot of tourists and the prices skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, read carefully and choose a place according to your travel style: Amalfi<\/strong> \u2014 to be in the center of the coast and easily reach other villages. Or Positano<\/strong> – glamorous parties and boat trips. Or in Ravello<\/strong> \u2014 to enjoy the silence and the views from the rocky mountain slopes. The large town of Sorrento<\/strong> \u2014 is a logistic gateway to the archaeological gems of the Neapolitan coast. Or maybe you’ll like real life in the small former fishing village of Vietri sul Mare<\/strong>, where they still catch anchovies and tuna and have the tastiest seafood restaurants on this coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amalfi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pros:<\/strong> Central location, very beautiful town, plenty to do and lots to see nearby.
Cons:<\/strong> Crowds of tourists who come for one day to see the cathedral, take photos on the promenade, \u2014 slightly spoil the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amalfi<\/strong> is the central town on the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi is suitable for everyone, including elderly people and families with small children in strollers, because it has a flatter terrain compared to other towns. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the surrounding towns, beaches, and views. This strategic location is its greatest advantage, but it\u2019s also just a wonderful place to spend time. It has a cozy atmosphere with intertwined narrow winding streets that open onto quiet squares and spacious viewing platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stay in Amalfi, you will discover the true magic of this town. All the mornings and evenings will be yours. And to avoid the daytime crowds of day-trippers, I recommend walking along the hiking routes, where they are definitely absent. Or go to neighboring less touristy towns for a delicious lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also easy to explore the surrounding natural locations<\/strong> on foot from Amalfi. There are many hiking trails here that climb upwards and connect one town with another. And the views from the slopes! Oh my goodness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
