Divine Coast & Spots

The Amalfi Coast, not perchance called “The Divine”, was declared World Heritage site by UNESCO.
It stretches from the town of Vietri sul Mare to Punta Campanella for a length of about 43 km. It used to be a land of fishermen and farmers, of hard lives due to the barbarian invasions, Saracens and Ottoman.
The land of the sirens, the wooers of Ulysses, where nature is still on the wild side, the sea an emerald green and the architecture features houses clinging to the rock face and churches with majolica domes; every settlement along the Amalfi Coast is a foretaste of paradise, every view remains imprinted in visitors’ hearts and every place is full of attractions. In short, you won’t miss anything and every single spot will give you the urge to come back!

Due to its uniqueness, the charm of the Amalfi Coast is irresistible even thanks to the great beaches, coves and caves reachable only by sea. A priceless heritage made by the perfect combination of sea, mountains, history, culture, tradition, art and landscape. Visible and hidden treasures that are simply breathtaking, giving you the chance to lost yourself in the marine oblivion, travelling over memorable spots (beaches and caves) that on the Coast, for a kind of bizzarre magic, are exactly one hundred.
Suggestive villages and towns, very close to one another, but every one unique! Let’s go to discover the Divine Coast
