Top Things To Do in Amalfi Coast

VISIT THE BEACHES

If you’re visiting The Amalfi Coast in the summer,?no trip is complete without making it to the beaches.?These are some of the?most famous and beautiful beaches in the world. ?And while some of them are rocky, they offer some of?the most stunning and tranquil sceneries.?There are several all around the coast. And many of them also offer?private clubs where you pay to get VIP seating and treatment.?The packages vary in price so you can pick which type of experience you want. Of course, there are many free beaches to visit as well.

FURORE FJORD

The Furore Fjord is?a hidden gem must-see?in the town of Furore, right below the SITA bus stop on the bridge. This was?hands down one of my favorite memories of the trip?as it was the type of Italian summer scenery I always dreamed of. It’s a visually stunning cove with plenty of space to relax, swim and jump off cliffs.

Furore?is known as?“the town that doesn’t exist”?because of how little is going on there. Unlike many towns on the Amalfi Coast, it doesn’t have a main square or town center, rather restaurants and shops are sprinkled throughout. While we experienced probably the most sleepy town possible (with gorgeous views of the stars from our terrace at night) we certainly didn’t sleep on Furore Fjord.?I had always dreamed of swimming in the Mediterranean in a scenery like this. Maybe this stems from going to the beaches and lakes as a kid, but I am always the most relaxed and in my element when I’m by the water.

GROTTA DELLO SMERALDO IN CONCA DEI MARINI

If you’re looking for a beautiful grotto to visit other than the grottos of Capri, then you’ll want to stop by the lesser-known town of Conca Dei Marini where they have a beautiful?Grotta Dello Smeraldo ?to visit with helpful tour guides. It costs?€5 to enter.

VILLA RUFOLO

Ravello?is definitely one of the hidden gems of The Amalfi Coast. It was on my list of towns to visit based on its reputation for its iconic cliffside gardens and terraces. We visited?Villa Rufolo , a very historic landmark dating back to the 13th century, which quickly became?one of the highlights of the trip.?Villa Rufolo is?€7 euros to enter.

Between the stunning architecture, several levels of gardens, flowers, and amazing views, it felt like we wre transported into another world entirely. You just wanted to stay there forever. It’s also?known for its interesting alleyways, lovely piazzas, cultural roots, and heavy musical events.?I highly recommend visiting Ravello, as it will be one of the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen.

FERRY TO CAPRI

Before coming to the Amalfi Coast, I was told?Capri is an absolute must-do?by almost everyone, and it’s obvious why. This island, a 30-minute ferry ride from Positano, is known for its?rugged landscape,?crystal blue waters, dramatic coves, amazing views, hotels, dining, and shopping.?There’s so much to do on the island that staying 1-2 days at least, might be ideal for those looking to get the most out of the island.

Between the?Blue Grotto, boast excisions, Villa San Michele, the Piazzetta with food and cocktails, the famous Mount Solaro,?and the many hidden gems you’ll find walking around here, you’ll always find something interesting to do. The ferry from Positano to Capri is?€20 euros, one-way.

TOUR OF POMPEII

If you’re a history buff, then a tour of Pompeii is just what you need. This ancient Roman town was?destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago?by?Mount Vesuvius volcano?and still has buildings and architecture to explore. You’ll be able to see gardens, homes, bakeries, brothels, and main squares full of history and gorgeous landmarks.

We did the?Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Full-Day Tour ?for?€150 and had a fabulous time! After exploring the ancient town, they take you up to the active Mount Vesuvius where you get to hike up to the top and see inside.?The volcano itself is still active?and experts say it should erupt within the next 10-15 years and they should know about 4-5 days before it happens.

SUNSET CRUISE

A sunset cruise is a great way to see Positano, The Amalfi Coast, and all its amazing scenery.?It’s a great way to relax, and enjoy some champagne and the company of loved ones. They have group charters or you can even book your own private boat!?

We did a?Small Group Tour to Positano ?and it was fun but I expected a little more out of it. The atmosphere and setting were beautiful but the sun can’t even be seen as it sets behind the mountain of Positano. We were given little information during the trip and it would have been nice to hear more about the history/stories of what we were seeing. They did include some snack sandwiches and small champagne, but I have definitely been on nicer sunset cruises before.?If you want to do a sunset cruise, definitely do your research to scope out the best one.

HIKING

Plenty of outdoor adventures in Amalfi with LOTS of walking and hiking to go around. While there are so many different trails to enjoy,?The Path of The Gods ?is one of the most famous.
