Amalfi
Located
in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, land in which the mountain falls steeply into
the sea, creating charming coves, deep fjords, headlands, bays, natural arches
and small pebble beaches, Amalfi has been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site
for its undisputed beauty and uniqueness of its natural landscape.
The origins of the village are very old and its foundation dates back to the Roman period. During its thousand-year history, Amalfi was the first of the four famous Maritime Republics of Italy vying for control of the Mediterranean, with its imposing Cathedral of St. Andrew, preceded by a grand staircase, the ancient arsenals of the Republic,the cloister of Paradise and the Paper Museum, in which it is shown to tourists and curious how the precious handmade paper of Amalfi was produced.

Positano
Declared
UNESCO World Heritage Site for its undisputed beauty and uniqueness of its
natural landscape, Positano is a pearl of Italy, nestled in a corner of
paradise between steep cliffs and gentle waves. The origins of Positano are
very old and is thought to have been founded by a group of refugees from nearby
Paestum.
Today it is a really sublime village, where rows of rose and honey colored houses seem to be suspended on the iridescent sea; penetrating through the narrow streets scented of geraniums, you will discover lovely restaurants and hotels, in addition to the beach of La Praia, the Saracen towers, the majolica dome of the Church of St. Luke the Evangelist, the picturesque Convent of Santa Maria a Castro and the romantic sunsets overlooking the bay of Positano, Sorrento Peninsula and the stacks of Capri.
