Perched on the cliffs over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the town develops in a vertical way, following the steep incline of the Monti Comune and Sant' Angelo rising from the sea.
3 miles out at sea from the coast there are The Sirenuse Islands - mythic Homer's siren islands in the Odyssey - which form the mini-archipelago of Li Galli (The Cocks) |

I have to spend some days at Costiera Amalfitana sooner or later. Ciao! | starwhite Sat Dec 22, 2007 05:53 UTC
Denise, i'm planning to visit the Amalfitan Coast with a friend of mine in may. We want to rent a car and stop wherever we please, is it better to rent a hotel before or we can check when we arrive to each town? Wich are the "must" places? Tks! | arasnosliw Sun Nov 28, 2004 09:11 UTC

Such a picturesque place. It's so striking to see how the houses seem to blend into the hills. |
