Anyone planning a trip to Italy has any number of amazing destinations to choose from. For instance you might want to head for a huge place such as Rome, with its many associated sights to see.

But if you want to stay away from the blatantly obvious locations and head for the coastline instead, you can do no better than to decide to stay on the Amalfi Coast. Situated about halfway down the boot that is Italy, you will find that the Amalfi Coast hides many jewels that are well worth staying in.

Take Sorrento for example, jutting out into the sea as if it is trying to stay as far away as possible from the mainland. This is a delightful place to stay in and it also gives you good access to the rest of the Amalfi Coast.

Salerno can also be found in this part of Italy. This is really one part of the coastline that you would not base an entire holiday in, but you can still while away a few hours here quite happily enough. For instance there are signs of mediaeval times here, signs that still remain today and are just as much a part of the town as the modern bars that also take up residence here.

Positano is another town that can also be found along the Amalfi Coast. This is more expensive than many of the other locations in the area, but it is also incredibly dramatic in nature. It exists on the cliff face and you might almost expect to come along one day and find that it has given up against gravity and disappeared into the waters.

There are lots of places you can stay in while you are visiting Positano, and indeed if your budget can stand it you can make this your base for your time on the Amalfi Coast. As an ideal place for finding your seat on a boat trip to various other locations, you can see that it has everything that the Amalfi Coast is best known for.
