South of Naples lies a coastline of dramatic cliffs, precariously-perched fishing villages and the ever-present shimmering Mediterranean. This is the Amalfi Coast, which has been enticing visitors for decades to its tiny beaches and chic resort towns such as Sorrento and Positano. A short boat ride from Sorrento is Capri, an island steeped in myths and
Roman history.

If you are driving the coast, beware – this is no place for motorists with no head for heights, but adrenaline junkies will love the hairpin bends and vertical drops. It’s little different in the towns that cling to the hillsides, where often steep steps provide the only access to hotels and restaurants with terraces that seem to float between sea and sky.

The coast is a place to kick back and relax. Enjoy the tranquillity of Ravello’s exquisite gardens and immerse yourself in local seaside life, or stay in tiny Furore, an excellent base from which to tackle Amalfi Coast walks with intriguing names like The Fishing Vixen.
