The Amalfi Coast
Achingly romantic and stunningly beautiful, the Amalfi Coast offers an idyllic location for honeymooners, with rugged peaks and clifftop palazzos providing a cinematic backdrop for cruising. Sail past picturesque fishing villages with nets drying on upturned boats. Inhale the heady scent of lemon groves on the evening breeze and enjoy cocktails on the terrace at one of the ultimately chic hotels as the sound of live opera hangs in the air.
Running southwest from Campania at the southern edge of the Gulf of Napoli, the coastline is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and those who appreciate culture, art, architecture and food could not be better met.
