Highlights: The Amalfi coastline is a stretch of coastline on the southern side of the Sorrento Peninsula in the province of Salerno in southern Italy, with Positano in the west and Vietri on the sea in the east. The small towns along the coast are quiet and peaceful, picturesque and beautiful. Whitewashed alleys and arches, and the many ornate china shops tucked away in the alleyways, will be the perfect place to enjoy lunch, a leisurely stroll and an afternoon.
