Castello di Arechi

This is everything you need to know to plan in detail a perfect 1 week trip to the stunning Amalfi Coast. I was born in Puglia and raised in Salerno, the first town of the Amalfi Coast; every time I go back home to my family and friends (at least 3 times per year for weeks!) I am still astonished by this picturesque encounter between natural beauty throughout the stretch of coastline, charm of vintage fisherman villages, and colorful architecture. I want to provide you with an unbiased and detailed 1 week itinerary trip guide written by a true local to discover one of most enchanting places in Italy, and ranked among the prettiest in the world (for sure in my heart!). You will be amazed by the crystal clear water, idyllic beauty, pastel colors perched little towns, terraced gardens of lemon trees, and delicious food (and limoncello!) Make sure to click on the 'Details' icon for each place pinned in the itinerary and on the map to read my personal notes on each place.

The Amalfi Coast isn't a coastline, it's a masterpiece sculpted by nature itself. Imagine a place where dramatic cliffs plunge into the sapphire waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Villages cling precariously to these cliffs, their colorful houses cascading down like vibrant jewels. The salty caress of the sea breeze mingles with the intoxicating aroma of lemon groves, creating a perfume that lingers in the air. Unlike the serene flatlands, the Amalfi Coast pulsates with an energy as vibrant as its colorful past. History whispers from every cobbled street and ancient monument. Yet, there's a sense of tranquility too, a chance to simply relax on pristine beaches or explore hidden coves by boat. The Amalfi Coast isn't just for the privileged few; it's a place where luxury meets authenticity, and every corner unveils a new adventure.
