Stretching for 50km along the southern coast of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania region, the Amalfi Coast encompasses the picturesque Italian islands of Ischia and Capri, as well as the charming hillside towns of Positano and Sorrento. With rugged shorelines, small beaches, pastel-colored fishing villages, and terraced vineyards and lemon groves, this region offers a feast for the eyes and senses.
From the historical architecture and natural wonders to the effortless elegance of Italian culture, the Amalfi Coast has something for everyone. The city of Amalfi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts a unique natural landscape, with the mountainside steeply plunging into the ocean to create coves, fjords, cliffs, bays, natural arches, and pebble beaches. The city is also home to many historical points of interest, such as the magnificent Cathedral of St. Andrew, the Campanile, and the Cloister of Paradise.
Start your Amalfi Coast yacht charter in Naples and head to the largest island in the bay, Ischia. This volcanic island offers thermal spas for relaxation, as well as charming fishing villages, boutiques, and restaurants. If you’re in the mood for a beach day, check out the child-friendly Chiaia Beach in Forio or the less-crowded Spiaggia degli Inglesi.
Capri, another nearby island, offers a bustling atmosphere with chic boutiques, bars, and restaurants. From the Marina Piccola, ascend into the funicular to central Capri’s Piazzetta and explore the beautiful village of Anacapri, which offers views of the Imperial Villa of Damecuta and the Belvedere of Tragara, a panoramic promenade lined with luxury villas. Don’t miss the stunning Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), a unique cave illuminated by an influx of light.
The small town of Positano, perched on a hillside enclave winding down towards the sea, is famed for its limoncello and lemon products, as well as the church of Santa Maria Assunta. Above Positano, the villages of Montepertuso and Nocelle offer breathtaking views of the coastline.
