The Amalfi Coast is definitely worth a visit! This is Italy's "Rainbow on the Cliff" and was named one of the "50 Places You Must Visit in Your Life" by National Geographic. 3 core highlights that will make you instantly excited:
*1️⃣ Visually stunning appearance
Positano's colorful houses are like Lego blocks hanging on the cliffs. At 4 pm, the sun shines down like a layer of gold powder
Paddle a boat into the Emerald Green Grotto (Grotta dello Smeraldo), and the sea water is as green as liquid gems
Drive on SS163, every turn is the same postcard perspective as "Under the Tuscan Sun"
2️⃣ Unique experience
Explore the Blue Grotto (Capri Island) by boat: The moment the boat squeezes into the cave entrance, the entire cave reflects a dreamy fluorescent blue
Hiking the "Road of the Gods": 3 hours of cliff trails, with the Mediterranean Sea at your feet and lemon gardens around you
Live in a cliff B&B: Open the window to see the sea, and eat freshly baked cornetto (Italian croissant) on the terrace for breakfast
3️⃣ Italy on the tip of your tongue
Lemon feast: from lemon wine (Limoncello) to lemon ice cream, the streets are full of fresh fruity fragrance
Seafood bomb: seafood pasta made with octopus caught that day, fresh as the Mediterranean
Hidden bonus: fried fish (Frittura di Paranza) at roadside stalls is 3 euros per paper bag, half the price of restaurants
Notes
- Hotel prices triple during the peak season (June-August), it is recommended to go in May or September
- The cliff road is so narrow that you doubt your life, novices should not drive by yourself
- Prepare enough cash! Many small shops only accept Euros
💡 Summary in one sentence:
"If I can only go to one place in Italy, I will choose Amalfi - it combines romance, wildness and deliciousness into this cliff!"
