Amalfi Coast
Description:
There are species that make a person just freeze with delight!
Divine, enchanting, magical - the most sublime epithets will not be able to convey those exceptional emotions that you will experience, seeing firsthand the landscapes of the coast: steep mountain cliffs and endless sea azure strikes with a variety of colors and relief. Small picturesque towns, climbing high into the mountains, fishing settlements on the shore. Houses, villas, churches, shopping and craft shops are located on top of each other, carved in rocks, streets-stairs, going somewhere seems straight to the sky, houses are drowned in gardens-terraces, lush bougainville, lemon trees, grapes and olives, figs, saturate the air with their aromas. And each of the miniature towns of the coast has its own amazing history, its own highlight.
Positano, Praiano, Fourore, Conca dei Marini, where you can descend into the magical Emerald Grotto (Grotta dello Smeraldo), Amalfi is famous as the first maritime republic of Italy and the cathedral, in the crypt of which the relics of St. Andrew the First-Called are stored. Cozy quiet Atrani. And, at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, Ravello, with an aura of mystery, serenity, piercing beauty of the “terrace to infinity” in Villa Chimbron; a real architectural pearl, a long-standing love of art people around the world: the gardens of Villa Rufolo inspired D. Lawrence in writing “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”, and Richard Wagner in creating “Parsifal”, described by Boccaccio in the collection of short stories “Decameron”. Virginia Wulf, Greta Garbo, W. Churchill, F. Mendelsohn, G. Ibsen, Turgenev, M. Glinka, A. Herzen, S. Shchedrin, I. Aivazovsky, S. Diaghilev, R. Nureyev all of them, having visited Ravello, were conquered by its fascinating views.
A tour of the Amalfi Coast can also be done on a yacht.
