What Travelers Say About Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is a 50km stretch of vertiginous cliffs, pastel-coloured villages, terraced lemon groves, and impossibly blue sea — a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape and one of the most photographed coastlines on Earth. Positano (the most photogenic village), Amalfi (the medieval maritime republic), Ravello (the clifftop garden town), and the Path of the Gods (the finest coastal walk in Europe) define a coastline that exceeds all expectations.

Common Scams in Amalfi Coast

Coast Road Taxi Overcharginghigh
Taxis on the Amalfi Coast charge officially regulated rates but drivers frequently quote higher prices to tourists unfamiliar with distances. The regulated rate from Positano to Amalfi is approximately €55; drivers sometimes quote €90–120. Always ask for the official tariff card (required to be carried) and confirm the total before departure. Ferries between towns are generally cheaper.
Limoncello Quality Variationlow
Shops along the Amalfi Coast sell limoncello in a huge range of quality and price. Tourist-facing shops often sell industrial limoncello in decorative ceramic bottles at €15–25 when the quality is poor. Genuine Amalfi limoncello uses only Sfusato Amalfitano lemons (IGP protected) and pure alcohol — buy from family producers with the IGP label, not souvenir shops.
