Top 10 Places to Visit in Amalfi

I just spend 10 days explorer in the incredible Amalfi Coast and I want to show you my favorite places so here is my “Top 10 Places to Visit in Amalfi”. The Amalfi coast is easily one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. From the magical town of Positano to the hillside villas of Ravello. The Amalfi Coast is a destination that needs to be experienced.
Let’s start this blog “Top 10 Places to Visit in Amalfi” off in Fiordo Di Furore. This is one of the coolest beaches I have ever been to. It’s located in this little Fjord complimented with an incredible arch bridge. To get to the beach there’s no car parking, probably the best way is to take it there on drive a Vespa over. it’s a true Paradise for cliff jumping, there are tons of spots you can jump from different heights. I had such a fun time sending some flips into the sea. The waterfalls are so good to be in. I swam over to the other side of the bridge and found some more cliffs to jump off. When you see the bridge, you just can’t believe how big it is. Honestly, such an incredible spot you gotta visit while you are on the Amalfi Coast.

The Path of the Gods

After Furore, we are going to take a walk on The Path of the Gods. this is a super famous hike and with reason. You start in the town called Bomerano and in the village called Nocelle. All in all the Hike is about 8 km long and takes about 3 hours to do. On the Hike, you’ll have incredible views the whole way. There are tons of ancient houses and hillside farms contrasted with the views of the Coast. it’s basically all downhill which is super nice. If you do, do the hike I recommended doing it early to avoid the heat and crowds. When you get about half wave through the high you will be able to get a view of Positano. It’s quite a view, when we reached the town of Nocelle, The Hike wasn’t over. We are so exhausted and found a place that had delightful fresh lemon slushies to cool us down.

Arienzo

Afterward, we had to walk down over 1700 stairs to reach the main road in Arienzo. It took my calves and knees server days to recover from that high but it was worth every step of the way. In this blog “Top 10 Places to Visit in Amalfi”, I have tried to visit all the places. So that you do not have any problem in planning your trip here.

Positano

Afterward, we are going to visit Positano. Now this may be the most popular place on the Amalfi Coast and when you go there you will understand why. it’s full of beautiful colored buildings. Shops and a scenic beach. one of my favorite thing to do in Positano was rent a boat. It’s a perfect way to escape The crowds and you will get the best views of the Amalfi Coast. It cost about 1180 to rent a boat for 3 hours, and while it was a little pricey. It was 100% worth it. it was my first time driving a boat and it’s honestly not that hard. We can cruise all over the Coast and make stops along the way to just soak this son and jump into the sea to do some snorkeling. while we are out there, we wear surrounded by mega yachts. So I recommended visiting Positano, and if you can, renting a boat.

Amalfi

After cruising around Positano we are going to visit the city of Amalfi. itself beautiful, located in a Ravine surrounded by daunting cliffs. they filmed several scenes of Christopher Nolan’s film Tenet here. During medieval times, Amalfi was the capital of the maritime republic known as the Duchy of Amalfi and was an important trading power from the 9th to 11th centuries. We went and explore the town. I enjoyed the public square with all its restaurants, shops, and church.

Afterward, we explore more of the town’s coast around the Amalfi. And what a long the pier was and got great views of all of Amalfi. it’s such a beautiful city.

Atrani

Afterward, we are going to visit the small town of Atrani. located right next to Amalfi. I must say that Atrani is one of my favorite-looking towns on the coast. You can get here from Amalfi by walking through some tunnels. Atrani just looks so incredible from the coast. the road that goes through it is just so unique. Especially the part that winds around with its beautiful arches. A fun fact is that Atrani is the smallest city in all of Italy with a population of around 800. I went inside the town and honestly, there was not too much to see, but it’s said that Atrani is the only town along the coast that preserved its antique tradition characteristics. another feature I liked about the city was its beach. it’s a perfect place to soak in some Mediterranean sun.

Ravello

Afterward, we are going to drive to the mountains to visit Ravello. this is one of the highest set towns on the Amalfi coast as it is located 365 meters above sea level. Ravello was founded back in the 5th century and it was where the king of Italy lived a while for a while during World War 2. I was pleasantly surprised by Ravello, it’s such a charming town. we went and explode Villa Rufolo. It cost a few Euros to get in. and it’s this beautiful Moorish-style villa that was built during the 13th century. during its time it was one of the largest and most expensive villas on the Amalfi coast. they hold orchestra and Opera concerts there with one of the most incredible views. it could be so cool to see someone like Andrea Bocelli sing there. While you are in Ravello you can walk its alleyways or spend some time eating gelato in the public square, definitely one of my favorite towns on the Amalfi Coast.

Minori

After we are going to head down to Minori. now located right below Ravello, Minori is a beautiful town on the coast. It is believed to be the oldest inhabited side on the Amalfi coast as it was an ancient holiday resort for the Romans in the first century AD.
Now right next to Minori is the large town of Maiori. similar to Minori, Maori has been a popular tourist resort since Roman times its also home to the longest beach on the Amalfi Coast. I had a good time walking along the boardwalk and also checking out the port and pier. both Maiori and Minori are great destinations to visit on the Amalfi coast.

Praiano

Afterward, we are going to visit Praiano. situated between Positano and Amalfi. we stay here in an Airbnb for a few days and I enjoyed it. It’s not nearly as touristy as Positano, so I think it’s a great place to stay if you come to the Amalfi coast. now while we wear in Praiano, we walked down to the Spiaggia di Praia. you go through some narrow pathway and made it down to the beach. it’s a great place to chill and swim. I also rented a Boat here for sunset and it was about 120 euros for 3 hours, so a little cheaper than renting from Positano.

And I just can’t say it enough, if you are on the Amalfi coast, you got to rent a boat, it may be a little expensive, but trust me you would not regret it. you just get the best views and you are scheduled on your boat away from all the crowds and you get to soak in the beauty of the coastline. if you can, you got a Boat ride for sunset. The lighting looks incredible on Positano while we wear out their boating, it didn’t even feel real because the scenery is some of the most beautiful on the earth truly mind-blowing.

Capri

For our final destination, we are going to head over to the island of Capri. I have been waiting to go here for years and I have to say it lived up to the hype. technically Capri isn’t on the Amalfi Coast, but we are going to add it because it’s right next to it and so epic. now to get to Capri, you can take a Boat tour or ferry from a town such as Positano. I wanted to stay a few nights, so we took a ferry from Sorrento and got an Airbnb in Anacapri. I will say the island was a little hectic, the roads there were the smallest I have ever seen. Nonetheless, if you go to Capri, you gotta see it by boat, whether you take a tour or rent one yourself. I rented a boat for 4 hours and it costs 120 euros, we decided to loop the entire Island passed the lighthouse on the very Western tip, and stop it near the massive Cliff on the southern side. Then we sailed over to the Faraglioni, they are these incredible sea stacks that just write out of the sea, there was the main reason I wanted to go to Capri. I had such a good time jumping off the boat there and marveling at the Faraglioni. Again, we wear surrounded by so many mega yachts. I was feeling confident so I decided to drive through the arch in the Faraglioni. It looks small but once you go through it you realize how big it is. it was so fun over there,

The Grotta Bianca

After that, we drove around the eastern part of the island and Anchored near The Grotta Bianca. Vijamp off and had a great time swimming in crystal clear Mediterranean water. I mean coming from the States, the clarity and warm water of the Mediterranean Sea blows my mind, there’s nothing like it.

Monte Solaro

After we returned our boat, we went up to Monte Solaro. Is the highest point on the island with an elevation of 589 meters. to get to the top you can take a chair lift for about 10 euros a person, the views were incredible, and it was nearing sunset, so there was an orange glow all over the island, I was right by some Massive cliffs that dropped into the sea. You get astounding views of the whole Island. the Faraglioni looked so small from up there. It was such a fun time and something you must do in Capri.
