Amalfi Coast & Drive travel wonder in Italy |
|
|
Why the Picturesque villages cling precariously to steep sea cliffs with breathtaking rocky-shoreline vistas. The landscape is profuse with bright-hued flowers - and the coastal air is rich in fresh ocean-spray scents.
Amalfi Coast tips & insights
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, the community that 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.
