What to do and see in Amalfi Coast, Campania: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Stretching along the southern side of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast dazzles with its mysterious grottos, craggy cliffs and shimmering bays. Grab a seat on the sea side of a regional bus to soak up views on the fabled route from artsy Positano to Amalfi. Ravello offers some respite from the crowds, plus the stunning Villa Cimbrone, which overlooks the Bay of Salerno. The historic section of Sorrento has winding streets filled with craftspeople. Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.

If you are history buff who takes pleasure in experiencing an antiquity cleansed, purified and brought back to life make your way to Villa Rufalo. Scottish Industrialist, Francis Neville restored the ruins of a former hotel with more than 350 rooms and truly made it shine. The setting is iconic and Overlooks the sea below. Imagine Moorish courtyards, gorgeous gardens, Sicilian and Norman architecture and then envision Richard Wagner walking the grounds inspiring the creation of glorious symphonies. Drink it in, drink it in!

This is the second time I've been here to see the artistic Holiday Lights that adorn nearly every street in the historic center. Certain areas have themes, the park also has a theme. This year it was a zoo with dozens of huge animals. The city is very walkable, and there are a lot of interesting shops in town to check out as well.

As we had 231 steps to walk up to get to the centre of Ravello we took a wrong turn and ended up in this little church. Inside its not much but the outside iconic view with the coastline of Minori and Maori together with that tree makes it a great detour. It was also nice and cool in there away from the heat.

This is quite a beautiful small church. The yellow light and beautiful floor tiles make it unique. The large square in front provides a gorgeous view of the sea.

Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone in Ravello are the main attractions of this town. Both are breathtaking and if I had to suggest to chose one for those who are limited in time, I wouldn’t be able to! Villa Rufolo’s best part is the two level garden with flowers called “Garden of the Soul” and the best part of Villa Cimbrone is the Terrace of Infinity with marble statues. Truly a must see for visitors of Amalfi Coast.

My travel policy: whenever I am walking by and find a church open -- I go in. One never knows when it will be open again. On a Sunday I was fortunate enough to find the door open, so I went in. There was a volunteer guide, and she gave me an insider's view of the architecture and explained the history. As other reviewer's wrote, this was originally a palace for the Longobardi ruler -- there is a wonderful book for sale that shows the floor plans and photos which help to explain the transformation of an ancient 8th C. palace into the present day church. It is a fascinating story. My review can only add on to others' reviews. Worth a visit.
