Amalfi Coast. Holiday & Tourist Information.
Amalfi Town Guide & Information
A 14th century natural disaster means the Amalfi town you see today is a mere shadow of the glory of this former maritime superpower. However the combination at one central site of the early 13th century Duomo (cathedral) dedicated to St.Andrew, the 9th century Basilica del Crocifisso and the 13th century Arabic style Cloister of Paradise are certainly worth a visit. A pleasant historic town and adjoining marina which offer opportunities for some casual shopping, a meal or just a spot of "people watching".

Positano Guide & Information
Positano can be reached by car, bus or boat from Capri, Sorrento and Positano, Salerno, Naples and Ischia. It has a distinctly upmarket feel (and prices). Be prepared for some steep climbs or plan your visit carefully to use the local buses. Parking is difficult to find in the lower areas of the town.

Ravello Guide & Information
Wagner lovers, or those who just appreciate musical performances in approriate settings will love Ravello's Festival. However if you are just there to soak up a little sun, the stunning views and its refined ambience you will not be disappointed. The drive up from the coast is best described as "interesting" if you enjoy this type of driving it's great, if you don't then use a coach or taxi.

Praiano Guide & Information
The less well known coastal resorts of Praiano, Minore, Maiori and Cetara all have their own charms and attractions. Praiano for its central location, quiet charm and coastline. Minori and Maiori for their beaches and Cetara for a slightly edgier but more Italian feel. They may also offer a more economical base than their famous neighbours.
