The Amalfi coast has an extension of more than 50 kilometers passing several towns of the Salerno Gulf located in the province of Campania. This beautiful coast is part of the amazing Italian beaches on the Tirreno Sea due to the great touristic and cultural interest all of the villages that form the coast were declared a patrimony of the humanity by UNESCO.
In the Middle Ages several places were founded that formed this coast being in the 12th century one of the sea republics that dominated the Mediterranean and today Amalfi is no doubt a wonderful tourist destination, it's the most important town of the coast.
In terms of accommodations in Amalfi, there's a great variety of options, from luxurious hotels to less expensive ones. If you can't find accommodations in Amalfi, you can find a room in Positano, which is very near. Depending on your budget, you could also find very well organized camping spots.
The Amalfi beach is ideal to practice all types of water sports, and the landscape invites climbing on hills and going down cliffs. The closeness with Positano and Ravello allow us to visit those places during the day.
From the Roma Fiumicino Airport there's an easy connection with the Napoli Airport. From there, there are buses coming out every day to Amalfi, which is very close to Napoli and Salerno. However, it's not advised to take this route by car for the first time, because it's very narrow and dangerous.
The high season goes from June, July and August, but this is not the best time to visit Amalfi, because many Europeans, especially Germans and Italians enjoy their vacations during these months. Maybe the best months are at the start of the fall, because the temperature is quite pleasant at that time of the year.
