This quintessentially Mediterranean landscape blends centuries of artistic and architectural accomplishments with one of nature's perfect panoramas. The breathtaking terrain includes dramatic coastline topography scattered with vineyards, orchards, and pastures, often with enchanting views of the vibrant waters below.

Kind climate, abundant resources, and natural beauty have drawn people to this coast for many centuries, and the Greeks, Romans, Normans, Saracens, Arab Sicilians, and many others have left their mark. Pounds like Amalfi and Ravello are home to many examples of artistic and architectural excellence in past.

Oome column temples to Poseidon, Hera, and Athena are among the best preserved of their kind to be found anywhere in the world. Until the 1800s, the steep terrain of the coast meant that overland access to the region was possible only by mule.

While many oases of quiet can still be found here, particularly away from tourist centres, the Amalfi Coast has changed irreversibly since then. [Music]
