## The Azure Dream

Stretching along the southern coast of Italy, the Amalfi Coast is a breathtaking stretch of coastline where dramatic cliffs drop sharply into the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea.

It is a place of lemon-scented air, pastel-hued villages, and a slow pace of life that invites you to linger over every espresso and every sunset.

## Iconic Villages

### Positano

The vertical paradise. Colorful houses cling to steep cliffs, creating a vibrant mosaic against the blue sea.

### Amalfi

A historical powerhouse. Wander through narrow labyrinthine streets and visit the magnificent Cathedral of St. Andrew.

### Ravello

The balcony of the coast. Perched high above the sea, offering serene gardens and panoramic views.

## A Taste of the Sun

The flavors of the Amalfi Coast are a celebration of the earth and sea. Freshly caught seafood, hand-made pasta, and the legendary Amalfi lemon define the local palate.

- #### Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare

  Freshly made pasta tossed with clams, mussels, and prawns.

- #### Delizia al Limone

  A sponge cake soaked in lemon cream, a true coastal delight.

- #### Limoncello

  The iconic digestif, made from the sweet lemons of the region.

## Traveler's Essentials

### When to Visit

The best months are May, June, and September. You'll enjoy warm sunshine and clear skies without the intense heat and heavy crowds of July and August.

### Getting Around

The SITA buses connect the towns, but for the true experience, consider private boat tours or ferry rides to see the coastline from the water.

### What to Pack

Comfortable walking shoes for the steep stairs, linen fabrics to stay cool, and plenty of sunscreen for those Mediterranean afternoons.

### Local Etiquette

Embrace 'La Dolce Vita'. Don't rush your meals. The afternoon siesta is widely respected in smaller villages.
