This dreamy area has been popular since, at least, the times of ancient Roman and Grecian empires. You can even visit sites from those storied times including Pompeii, Tiberius' Villa on Capri and the Greek temples at Paestum.
This is a resort area that invites relaxation. There are many wonderful places to visit with transportation requiring planning because of narrow, cliffhanging roads and the need to travel by bus and boat.
Popular activities include boat tours, hiking around the peninsula, sunbathing, enjoying the wonderful food and beverages.
The beautiful towns of the area perch above the sea include these and more:
Sorrento is a lovely small city with everything one might wish. Here you find the port for the ferries to Capri, Naples and the other storied towns of the peninsula. It is a convenient base for visits in the area. Be sure to sip the Limoncello!
The town of Amalfi is a stunning town with sights to see, shopping and beaches.
Positano has the classic cliffs with pastel villas and hotels cascading down to the sea where you see luxury yachts and speed boats. The beaches are popular among travellers.
Ravello has the best views from its mountain-top location and is known for its restaurants.
Capri is a magical place and is popular for people watching in the main piazza, trips around the island and to the legendary grottos including the Blue Grotto.
