Why the
Amalfi Coast & Drive are special
Picturesque villages cling precariously to steep sea cliffs with
breathtaking rocky-shoreline vistas. The landscape is profuse in
bright-hued flowers - and the coastal air is rich in fresh
ocean-spray scents.
Thrilling road
The narrow and twisting Amalfi Drive in Italy is arguably the
world's most beautiful and thrilling sightseeing road. It
stretches 50 kilometers (30 miles) between Sorrento city and
Amalfi village (which gave the coast its name). The roadway has
only occasional railings to keep your car from potentially
plunging into craggy, breaker-washed sea boulders far below.
You can drive north or south on the Amalfi Drive. The
fainthearted (but never the brave) prefer the northbound Amalfi
Drive direction because the southbound lane precariously hugs
the sea cliff edge. If that's not scary enough, visualize a
seemingly endless parade of northbound tourist buses sometimes
brazenly encroaching your slender lane.
What leading travel books say about Amalfi Drive & Coast
It's sometimes difficult to concentrate on the road because of
the view.
