The Amalfi Coast is Italy's most theatrical shoreline: towns stacked vertically between mountains and sea, lemon terraces on cliffs, and a coast road that turns driving into cinema. Positano at golden hour justifies the trip alone.
Amalfi was a medieval maritime republic that rivaled Venice, with a navigation code, the Tavole Amalfitane, that governed Mediterranean shipping for centuries. Earthquakes and Pisa then humbled it into the fishing towns travelers now adore.
The coast's sfusato lemons, huge, sweet and IGP-protected, grow on terraces so steep that some farmers still use monorail carts to haul crates. Limoncello is the souvenir; the lemon granita on a cliff terrace is the memory.
