Top 10 Places On The Amalfi Coast - 4K Travel Guide

What's up guys my name is Ryan and I just spent 10 days exploring the incredible Amalfi Coast and I want to show you my favorite places so here is my Amalfi top 10. The Amalfi Coast is easily one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. From the magical town of Positano to the hillside villas of Ravello, the Amalfi Coast is a destination that needs to be experienced. Let's start this video off in Fiordo di Furore. This is one of the coolest beaches I've ever been to. It's located in this little fjord complemented with an incredible arch bridge. Now to get to the beach there's no car parking so probably the best way to get here is by taking a bus or driving a Vespa over. It's a true paradise for cliff jumping. There's tons of spots you can jump from different heights. I had such a fun time setting some flips into the sea. The water felt so good to be in. I swam over to the other side of the bridge and found some more cliffs to jump off. When you swim under the bridge you just can't believe how huge it is. Honestly such an incredible spot you gotta visit while you're on the Amalfi Coast. After Furore we're going to take a walk on the Path of the Gods. This is a super famous hike and with reason you'll get some of the best views of the Amalfi Coast when you do this hike. Now you start in this town called Bomorano and end in the village called Nocelle. All in all the hike is about eight kilometers long. Takes you about three hours to do. On the hike you'll have incredible views basically the whole way. There's tons of ancient houses and hillside farms contrasted with the views of the coast. It's basically all downhill which is super nice. If you do the hike I definitely recommend doing it early to avoid the heat and the crowds. It can get freaking hot up there. When you get about halfway down with the hike you'll be able to get your first views of Positano. I mean it looks so cool from up there. When we reached the town of Nocelle the hike sadly wasn't over. We were freaking exhausted and thankfully found this little place that had delightful fresh lemon slushies to cool us down. Afterwards we had to walk down over 1,700 stairs to reach the main road in Arenzo. It took my calves and knees several days to recover from the hike but it was worth it every step of the way. Now afterwards we're going to visit Positano. Now this may be the most popular place on the Amalfi Coast and when you go there you'll understand why. It's full of beautiful colored buildings, shops, and a scenic beach. One of my favorite things I did in Positano was rent a boat. It's the perfect way to escape the crowds and get the best views of the Amalfi Coast. It cost about 180 euros to rent a boat for three hours and while it was a little pricey it was 100% worth it. It was my first time driving a boat and it's honestly not that hard. We were able to cruise all over the coast and make stops along the way just to soak in the sun and jump to the sea to do some snorkeling. When we were out there we were surrounded by some mega yachts and it's crazy to look at the footage and see how small our boat is compared to them. So I definitely recommend visiting Positano and if you can rent a boat. After cruising around Positano we're going to visit the city of Amalfi. It's a beautiful town located in a ravine surrounded by daunting cliffs. They filmed several scenes of Christopher Nolan's film Tenet here. During medieval times Amalfi was the capital of the maritime republic known as the Duchy of Amalfi and was an important trading power from the 9th to 12th centuries. While we were there we explored the town. I really enjoyed the public's glare with all its restaurants, shops, and beautiful church. Afterwards we explored the coast around Amalfi and we walked along the pier and got some great views of the entire town. Afterwards we're going to visit the small town of Atrani. Now it's located right next to Amalfi and I have to say that Atrani is one of my favorite looking towns in all the coasts. You can get here from Amalfi by walking through some tunnels. Now Atrani just looks so cool from the coast. The road that goes through it is just so unique especially the part that winds around with its beautiful arches. A fun fact is that Atrani is the smallest city in all of Italy with a population of around 800. I went inside the town and honestly there wasn't too much to see but it's said that Atrani is the only town along the coast that preserved its antique traditional characteristics. Another feature I really liked about the city was its beach and it's just a perfect place to soak up some Mediterranean sun. Afterwards we're going to drive up the mountains to visit Ravello. Now this is one of the highest set towns on the Amalfi coast as it's located 365 meters above sea level. Ravello was founded all the way back in the 5th century and it was where the king of Italy lived a while during world war ii. I was pleasantly surprised by Ravello. I mean it's just such a charming town. We went and explored the villa Rufolo. It cost a few euros to get in and it's this beautiful Moorish style villa that was built during the 13th century. During its time it was one of the largest and most expensive villas on the Amalfi coast. They hold orchestra and opera concerts there with one of the most incredible views I've ever seen. It'd be so cool to watch someone like Andre Bocelli sing there. Now while you're in Ravello you can walk in alleyways or spend some time eating gelato in the public square. Definitely one of my favorite towns on the Amalfi coast. After we're going to head to the town of Minore. Now it's located right below Ravello. Minore is just this beautiful little town and it's believed to be the oldest inhabited site on the Amalfi coast as it was an ancient holiday resort for the Romans all the way back in 1st century AD. Now right next to Minore is the larger town of Maiori. Similar to Maiori, Maiori has been a popular tourist resort since Roman times. It's also home to the longest beach on the Amalfi coast. I had a good time walking along the also checking out the port and pier. Both Maiori and Minore are great destinations you gotta visit while you're here. Now afterwards we're going to visit Praiano. Now situated right between Positano and Amalfi. We stayed several days here in the Airbnb and I really enjoyed it. It's not nearly as touristy as Positano so I think it's a great place to stay if you come to the Amalfi coast. Now while we were in Praiano one fun thing we did is we walked down to the Spiaggia di Praia. You go through some narrow pathways and we made it down to the beach. It's a great place to chill and swim. I also rented a boat here for sunset and it was about 120 euros for three hours so a little cheaper than renting from Positano. And I just can't say enough if you're on the Amalfi coast you gotta rent a boat. I mean it may be a little expensive but trust me you're not gonna regret it. You'll get the best views and you're secluded on your boat away from all the clouds and you really get to soak in the beauty of the coastline. And if you can I definitely recommend taking a boat ride for sunset. The lighting looks incredible on Positano. While we were out there boating I mean it didn't even feel real. The scenery is just some of the most beautiful on earth. It's truly mind-blowing. Now for our final destination we're going to head over to the island of Capri. I've been wanting to go here for years and I have to say it lived up to the hype. Now technically Capri isn't on the Amalfi coast but we're going to add it because it's right next to it and it's freaking epic. Now to get to Capri you can take a boat tour or ferry from a town such as Positano. I wanted to stay a few nights so we took a ferry from a Sorrento and got an airbnb in Anna Capri. I will say the island was a little hectic. The roads were the smallest I've ever seen. Nonetheless if you go to Capri you gotta see it by boat. Whether you take a tour or rent one yourself. I rented a boat for four hours and it cost 120 euros. We decided to loop the entire island. We passed the lighthouse on the very western tip and stopped near the massive cliffs on the southern side. Then we sailed over to the Faraglioni. They're these incredible sea stacks that jet right out of the sea. They were the main reason I wanted to go to Capri. I had such a good time jumping off the boat there and marveling at the Faraglioni. Again we were just surrounded by so many mega yachts. I was feeling confident so I decided to drive through the arch in the Faraglioni. It looks small but once you go through it you realize how big it is. It was just so fun over there. After that we drove around to the eastern part of the island and anchored near the Grotta Bianca. We jumped off and had a great time swimming in the crystal clear Mediterranean waters. I mean coming from the states the clarity and warm waters of the Mediterranean sea just blows my mind. There's really nothing like it. After we returned our boat we went to Monte Solaro. Now it's the highest point on the island with an elevation of 589 meters. To get to the top you can take a chairlift for about 10 euros a person. The views are absolutely incredible. It was nearing sunset so there was an orange glow all over the island. I was right by some massive cliffs that dropped into the sea. The Faraglioni looks so small from up there. Anyways I just had such a fun time. It's something you gotta do while you're in Capri. Well that is it for my Amalfi Coast top 10. It's truly one of the most magical places I've ever been and I see myself coming back here many more times. Let me know where your favorite place is on the Amalfi Coast in the comments below.
