    Positano

    Neighborhood · 6 mi from centre

    A steep village of pastel houses tumbling down the cliffs to a pebble beach. Getting around involves many stairs, and summer road traffic is heavy, so arriving by ferry is often the easiest option.

  2. Amalfi Cathedral

    Amalfi Cathedral

    Religious

    A striped Arab-Norman cathedral at the top of a broad staircase in the center of Amalfi. Enter through the Cloister of Paradise to see the cloister, museum and crypt on a single route.

  3. Villa Rufolo

    Villa Rufolo

    Historic

    A medieval villa in Ravello with terraced gardens and famous views of the coastline. In summer, concerts are held on a stage that seems to hang out over the sea, and tickets sell out early.

  4. Villa Cimbrone

    Villa Cimbrone

    Park

    A Ravello estate whose gardens lead to the Terrace of Infinity, a balcony lined with marble busts high above the sea. It is a short walk from the main square, and early mornings are quietest.

  5. Path of the Gods

    Nature · 2 mi from centre

    Fiordo di Furore

    Nature

    A narrow sea gorge in the village of Furore, crossed by the coast road on a high bridge. Climb down the stairs to the tiny beach at the bottom, and visit early before the parking fills.
