The Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO world  heritage site, has always been an ideal destination for tourists from all over the world attracted by the harmony of the natural scenic beauties and the artistic and architectural elements for which it is world-wide renowned.

Amalfi, gently stretching out on the coastal line named after it, is a wonderful little town once also famous for being one of the ancient maritime republics together with Venice, Pisa and Genoa.  Known in the past centuries for the ability of its sailors  who also perfected the invention of the compass,  Amalfi is a model of Arab-Norman architecture whose outstanding example is the antique Cathedral built at the beginning of 1200 on top of steep stairs. A maze of alleys, old arches and stairs make tourists breathe a magic atmosphere mingling the present to the past.
