A short guide about Cultural travel to Amalfi
The Amalfi Coast is located on the coastline of Italy from Positano in the west to Vietri sul Mare in the east. The region is renowned for its rugged terrain, scenic beauty, picturesque towns and diversity, so it is no surprise that the Amalfi Coast has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The towns lying on the Amalfi Coast have been settled since the early middle ages, and have many works of architectural and artistic significance. Discover the Cathedral of Amalfi – ‘Duomo’ and its cloister (Chiostro del Paradiso), a masterpiece of the Arab-Norman Style.
Visit the villas in Ravello; the Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo, as well as the diverse nature of the terrain from terraced vineyards and orchards to wide upland pastures. Positano is “the city of the artists” and is famous for its colours and narrow, winding streets, as well as the church of Santa Maria Assunta.
Tourabout has a number of categorised tours to the picturesque Amalfi Coast, which range from escorted to short breaks. There are also some cruising tours that will have you enjoying the breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast, with the possibility of enjoying a refreshing swim. Make plans to visit the nearby the island of ‘Li Galli’; known as the ‘Isle of the Mermaids’ – where according to legend, Ulysses met the mythological mermaids.
