The Amalfi Coast
Public buses travel up and down the 25-mile long coastal road that links each of the stunning amalfitana villages and towns. The region's namesake town, Amalfi, lies in the heart of the area. No matter which of the bus lines you take, you will ultimately arrive there. End-to-end, travelling along the coast normally takes around 80 minutes in a car, although this can take a little more time during the summer as the road is narrow and badly parked cars can often create queues.
The Amalfi coast is home to an array of beaches. For more information, visit the ‘Beaches of the Amalfi Coast’ page.
