On Italy’s Amalfi Coast - Positano, Ravello, Salerno & Sorrento
The Amalfi Coast is a group of towns on the rugged southern Italian coast, each town offering something a little different. I think the area is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Towns nestled in steep cliffs that flow down to the shimmering blue sea.

The cliffside village of Positano is known for its expansive beaches and incredible views. The village is included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and was the first town in Italy to import bikinis from France.
Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!

Ravello is a really cool tiny town and is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some people overlook Ravello, but it offers awesome panoramic views, elegant villas, and gardens. Perched way up on the mountaintop, it is a picturesque detour, that is not so crowded.
This is what caught my eye in Ravello, I hope you enjoy!

This is what caught my eye during the brief visit to Salerno, I hope you enjoy!

Famous for lemons and limoncello, Sorrento is a historical coastal town, near Naples and accessible by train making it a little more crowded. Cobble stone streets to wander and dramatic coastal views to enjoy.
