Amalfi and Positano Ravello
The most celebrated coastline
in the world, where spectacular scenery blends with ancient glory.
Marvel the sheer rocks plunging into azure sea water and the quaint
fishing villages nestling among imposing promontories, today's mementos
of once proud maritime republics.
Amalfi, one of the great wonders of the Neapolitan Riviera,
sits nestled on the side of the steep mountain looking straight down
into the sea. Whitewashed and pastel buildings with brilliant flowers
climbing the walls, green trees and gardens, boats in red and green, and
the deep blue-green of the sea have enthralled visitors for centuries.
Ravello: Perched on a 350 ft high cliff overlooking the blue
sea, Ravello's chief glories are the two wonderful gardens: Villa
Cimbrone with its breathtaking view and the Villa Rufolo with its
ancient palace and flowery gardens that inspired Richard Wagner for his
Parsifal.
