The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places in Italy. This locale is one of Europe’s most romantic honeymoon destinations.
This Italian tourist attraction stretches 50 kilometers of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula. Decorated with sheer cliffs, rugged shorelines, little beaches, and fishing villages. These tiny villages make for great views as the homes are decorated in pastel-like colors.
