The Amalfi Coast is a dramatic stretch of cliffside towns, lemon groves and turquoise coves south of Naples. Hotels in Positano and Amalfi are among the most expensive in Italy, so many travelers look for cheaper rooms in smaller villages or use Sorrento as a better-value base, reaching the coast by bus or ferry.
