The Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi coast is situated on Italy's southern Mediterranean shore, a strikingly beautiful and dramatic coastline. Here you will find thirteen distinctive towns ranging from Positano in the west to Vietri sul mare in the east. Eponymous Amalfi itself is a fascinating town, steeped in a culture that still upholds many ancient regional traditions such as ceramics and handcrafted paper.

The Bay of Naples offers a variety of islands, the most famous being the island paradise of Ischia, boasting an array of hotels and spas which attract discerning international visitors throughout the warmer months. The stylish and the almost mythical 'Isle of Capri', known throughout the world as one the first exclusive holiday destinations, is small but perfectly formed with exquisite views and the deepest blue seas. Capri - known to the Ancient Greeks as the land of the Sirens - has something for everyone; a rich Roman heritage, including the remains of Emperor Tiberius's palace, the cult of Gracie Fields who moved here in the 50's and, more recently, a stylish destination for relaxation, fine dining and exclusive shopping.
