Best Things to Do in the Amalfi Coast (Italy)
Visit the town of Sorrento
Sorrento is a town on the northern arm of the Amalfi Coast and is renowned for its beautiful scenery and its range of gorgeous buildings and coastal walks. In terms of economy, Sorrento relies heavily on tourism, but it is also known for its production of Limoncello.
The cathedral of Sorrento is a beautiful structure that was first built in the 11th century – this is definitely worth a visit. Furthermore, Sorrento has two gorgeous ports full of fishing and sailing boats and a series of public parks.
If you are interested in history, the town also features the Correale Museum and the Museo della Tarsia Lignea – both of which provide some fascinating artefacts and displays. Sorrento really is a gem on the Amalfi coast and a trip to this region would not be complete without a stop off at this historic town.
Take a boat tour into the Grotta dello Smeraldo Cave
The Emerald Cave is a natural phenomenon that is one of the most beautiful caves in the whole of Italy.
Located in-between Amalfi and Praiano, the Smeraldo Cave is one of the few caves in the world that is bathed in a natural emerald light. The effect is simply amazing and the colour of the water and the cave itself are gorgeous.
The cave is accessed via an elevator on the SS163 route and then you can climb on one of the boats for a guided tour of this superb natural subterranean environment.
Take in the gorgeous waterfalls of the Valle delle Ferriere
The Ferriere Valley is a protected area in the province of Salerno and is a wonderful region to explore for those who enjoy hiking and the outdoors.
Throughout this region you can find some absolutely stunning natural scenery and there is a myriad of hiking and cycling trails that wind through the luscious forests.
This protected area is little travelled and you will not encounter the usual bustle of tourists found at the busy coastal towns of Amalfi.
Furthermore, the trails present some interesting view points and allow you to see some of the towns from unusual angles that are not normally seen.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
