While most visitors fly into Naples, taking an overnight train is a romantic and eco-friendly alternative from many European cities.

In need of a walk? Catch the Sita bus to the tiny village of Nocelle, climb its steep steps for fantastic views over the bay, then follow the Sentiero degli Dei (path of the gods), the best known of the walking routes in this region. It’s a lengthy hike (allow 4-5 hours), but extremely rewarding, taking you over mountain pinnacles and down steep slopes all the way to Bomerano. Walk the Path of the Lemons, an easy trail along the coast that passes through the region's famous, fragrant lemon groves. a href="https://www.vogue.fr/lifestyle/article/amalfi-coast-le-livre-qui-compile-les-plus-belles-photos-de-la-cote-amalfitaine"> Amalfi Coast, le livre qui compile les plus belles photos de la Côte Amalfitaine; By Jade Simon, Vogue Online (France), May 2020

Positano, where a squiggle of whitewashed steps lead down to an arc of grey shingle, is achingly pretty. Trellised bougainvillea shades these walkways. In fact, there are more steps than streets in this little town, so leave your car at the top and get walking. There isn’t a lot to do other than relax and enjoy Positano’s quasi-Moorish architecture, mooch around chi-chi boutiques, or head for a beachside bar. If you’re not bothered about being close to the sea, consider hill-hugging Ravello. Options here tend to be upmarket. Peaceful Hotel Villa Cimbrone, for example, the former home of Lord Grimthorpe, and once frequented by the Bloomsbury Group, has dreamy frescoed bedrooms and arguably one of the most romantic gardens in Italy. Even if you don’t stay here, you should pop in; the Terrace of Infinity, overlooking the bay, is a delight. You need strong legs and a head for heights to walk the legendary Path of the Gods, which offers dizzying sea views. Feast on just-caught seafood

Positano is the most famous town on the Amalfi Coast. Come to see its cluster of multi-coloured houses tumbling down the hills to the harbour, but stay for its lovely boutiques and luxury hotels.

Travel Aware - Staying Safe and Healthy Abroad

Lonely Planet's Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast is our most comprehensive guide that extensively covers all the region has to offer, with recommendations for both popular and lesser-known experiences. Savour an authentic Neapolitan pizza, walk through history at Pompeii and tour the stunning Amalfi Coast; all with your trusted travel companion. The Amalfi Coast is not the most accessible of places. The nearest airport is Naples Capodichino but Rome Fiumicino handles intercontinental flights. From Naples you can arrange a private transfer or take the Campania Express train (mid-March until mid-October) to Sorrento and then a bus to the coast. Off-season, you are left to the mercy of the much slower Circumvesuviana service. There is also a regular ferry service from Naples to Sorrento. We want you to be safe whilst on holiday.

Eerie Grotta dello Smeraldo Cave will have you spellbound. Stalactites and stalagmites create otherworldly shapes on its floor and ceiling, and in the emerald green waters is a nativity scene made from ceramics. On this varied coastal landscape, natural wonders abound. Get outdoors and find your own adventure on your Amalfi Coast holidays. Your best bet is to head to Sorrento and scour the narrow alleyway of Vico San Cesareo near Piazza Tasso, where you’ll encounter some amazing artisanal foodie shops. At Limonoro, for example, you’ll find the best examples of the tipple in a variety of sizes. You can try before you buy and they also sell lemon-infused goodies including biscuits, chocolate and balsamic citrus glazes. While there, pop into Alimentari Aprile for some other regional specialities: colatura di alici, the pungent anchovy essence used to pep up pizzas and pastas, or glossy mozzarella and soppressata salami. Ravello, dramatically perched on a high bluff, is an absolute must. Peaceful, other-worldly, this town has masses to offer: an interesting 11th-century cathedral, nice bars and great restaurants, and as well as the gardens of Villa Cimbrone; you should visit those of the Moorish-classical Villa Rufolo. Wagner was inspired to write his Parsifal here after wandering among its romantic ruins.a href="https://suitcasemag.com/articles/limoncello-lemon-blossom-lookouts-amalfi-coast-italy#" target="_blank"> Limoncello, Lemon Blossom and Lookouts: Amalfi Coast, Italy, Suitcase Online (UK), May 2020
