The Perfect Amalfi Coast Trip

Travel Onion · 2:17

Five stops, one impossible coastline. On Italy's Amalfi Coast you can hike the Path of the Gods (named for the legend that the gods walked it to save Ulysses from the sirens), wander Positano — a town so steep it's basically a staircase, visit Amalfi, once a sea power that helped bring the compass to Europe, stand on Ravello's Terrace of Infinity, and row into Capri's Blue Grotto, the private swimming grotto of a Roman emperor. Save this for the day you go. Follow for more places worth the trip. 📍 PLAN YOUR VISIT — AMALFI COAST ✈️ Getting there: fly to Naples (NAP) → Sorrento, then ferry or drive the coast (SS163) 📅 Best time: May–early June or Sept–early Oct (warm, fewer crowds) 🎯 The route: Positano · the Path of the Gods hike · Amalfi town & cathedral · Ravello's Terrace of Infinity · Capri's Blue Grotto
