From the Coast to Capri Mountains standing proud above rocky cliffs and an azure
sea. Lemon trees bursting with vivid scent and color. Patchwork
patterns of ancient olive groves and vineyards clinging to the
hillside. Is there a better way to define the elegant Italian
paradise of the Amalfi Coast? For centuries, this slice of heaven
has lured kings and queens, writers and artists to its sun-drenched
islands and villages. Your Backroads journey through the land
