The beauty of the landscape, the exquisiteness of the Italian cuisine, the kindness of the local people and the cultural and historical heritage are just some of the reasons that make the Amalfi Coast one of the most popular and appreciated destinations on the international level.
Moving on the coast, however, can be stressful, especially in Summer, due to the large affluence of tourists, the narrow roads and the high possibility of traffic and queues.
Depending on your needs and your budget there are several options to move freely without stress.

ON FOOT

Consider moving by... feet! Of course, in this case, take the usual basic precautions: comfortable shoes and suitable clothing, water, sunscreen and cap, and avoid the sunny hours if it is Summer.
Visiting the Coastal in this way, as well as having the advantage of subtracting you to the traffic jam, is an unique experience that will open exclusive landscapes.

The whole area is inlaid with wonderful nature trails, great for trekking, that from the mountains come to the beaches, some renowned such as the Fjord in Furore, others more hidden, small jewelery jealously guarded by the locals. Also the urban trekking can be fun, and in some cases it is the only choice possible: some areas are only pedestrian, like Piazza Duomo in Amalfi, sometimes reachable only on foot or on the back of donkeys.

Amalfi, Positano and Atrani, the three most famous coastal towns, for example, are characterized by narrow alleys that smell of lemons, ancient stone steps and little pastel houses anchored to the mountain, and it is this that makes these places unique.
