Classic Amalfi Coast

Description

Classic Amalfi Coast – Excursions from Port

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful coasts in the world, made of rocky cliffs, superb landscapes, citrus fields, monuments, villages, hiking trails, luxury villas, beaches, local crafts, quality food and wine, lots of history, traditions and folkloristic events.

Pearl of the Coast is Positano, the vertical city embedded in the rock, where stairs replace the streets between the wild scent of the Mediterranean scrub. Seen from Positano beach it looks like a pyramid of houses that climb to the sky. Positano is legend, history and enchanting beauty, which kidnaps anyone who passes through here. Off Positano the three islets that make up the famous Li Galli island are visible.

The Maritime Republic of Amalfi, whose foundation dates back to Roman times, has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1997. Amalfi is a whole expanse on the open, immense sea, where two gulfs come together and mix … capable to blend the glories of the past with the scent of the sea and lemons.

We continue our excursion with Ravello, an ancient medieval city known throughout the world for its history, its precious monuments and the magic of its landscapes and patrician residences. Land of enchantment, as many illustrious travelers have called it, is suspended between sky and sea. You can visit the wonderful Villa Rufolo, a building that rises on three floors and reaches its peak in the famous garden, and Villa Cimbrone: a large estate that an English gentleman has transformed into a villa of incredible beauty by mixing styles and eras, ethnic and cultural elements, antiques and exotic travel souvenirs.

During the excursion we will make several photo stops to admire the beautiful landscape.
