Amalfi Coast, Italy: Illustrious Seaside Town

More info about travel to the Amalfi Coast: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/italy/amalfi-coast The town of Amalfi is perched on Italy s stunning Amalfi Coast just south of Naples. Amalfi has a proud history that peaked in the 10th century when it was a maritime trading power with a fleet that rivaled Genoa, Pisa, and Venice. That s why the town boasts an art-filled cathedral grander than a town of 7,000 would merit. Today, Amalfi lives off tourism and invites visitors to enjoy "la dolce vita."
