Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast runs along southern Italy. It draws thousands of tourists every year with its rocky beaches, spectacular seafood and gorgeous architecture. It has been featured in movies and TV shows like Entourage and Under the Tuscan Sun. Even Jay-Z and Beyonce reference this beautiful setting in their song, Upgrade U. You might head to this paradise destination for its warm, Mediterranean waters and a local liquor, limoncello.
The towns on the Amalfi Coast are all built into the hillside or cantilevered from cliffs. The drive along the coast can be a little nerve racking, but the views are worth it. Destination towns include Positano, Capri and Pompeii — the town that was famously buried under ash when a nearby volcano erupted in 79 AD.
