Amalfi Coast Tourist Information and Visitor Guide
The stunning Amalfi Coast is a glorious mixture of nature at its most splendid and architecture at its most sympathetic. The towering Lattari Mountains plunge into the Mediterranean Sea and yet all along this coast, beautiful villages of pastel villas cling to the rock face on narrow terraces. Sheltered from the north winds, gardens overflow with heavily scented exotic blooms.
