Vacations to Amalfi Coast
Summarized by Dina Mardiana
Stretching about 50 km along the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi Coast is one of Europe’s most breathtaking. The best time to visit the Amalfi Coast is in spring or early autumn. In summer the coast’s single road gets very busy and prices are inflated; in winter much of the coast simply shuts down. The Amalfi Coast spans an area from Positano to Vietri sul Mare. Some of the sights are world-renowned. And Positano is the most famous coastal town along the Amalfi Coast.
Boat services to the Amalfi Coast towns are generally limited to the period between April and October, while the bus services along the coast are year-round and efficient. Buses also connect Rome and the Amalfi Coast, terminating in Salerno. By train, you can take either the Circumvesuviana from Naples to Sorrento, or a Trenitalia train to Salerno, then continue along the Amalfi Coast, eastwards or westwards, by SITA bus.
The Amalfi Civic Museum (Museo Civico), situated in Amalfi's Town Hall, is one of the major attractions to visit the coast. The “Grotta Dello Smeraldo,” located 5 Km drive from Amalfi, in one of the best bay of the Coast, in the Municipality of Conca dei Marini, is one of the mesmeric sites of the Amalfi Coast. The other place where you can discover the wonder past of the Republic is the Old Arsenal. It is located on the left side of the “Porta della Marina”, one of the oldest doors embarked to the sea.
