The Amalfi coast, one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, is one of the most beautiful places you can head when you’re in Italy.
It boasts an unbeatable combination between the mountains and the sea, adding an impressive and stunning background to its gorgeous beaches, which stretch around 50km along the southern side of Italy.
Sorrento is arguably the most well known town along the coast, but there are plenty of other places to visit, including Amalfi itself, as well as Ravello and Positano.
Beautiful winding medieval streets with greet those who venture to the area, as will sparkling seas and cliffs adorned with lemon groves.
There are a number of campsites located along the Amalfi coastline, offering those who have looked for tents for sale some great places to pitch up their canvas.
With plenty of great facilities on offer, and sites situated in the stunning countryside close to the beach along the coast, those with tents will be spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding where to stay.
The Amalfi coast is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy, with the area attracting couples on romantic breaks, as well as people looking for a decent family-holiday destination.
With hidden coves, steep cliffs and secluded bays, it’s possible for people to steer clear of all other humans if they wish to.
There are some extremely picturesque sites to be explored in the area, aside from the beaches, which are provided with a beautiful backdrop of pastel-coloured hillside houses and vineyards.
It’s best to head to Amalfi at this time of year – the end of summer and early autumn – as the prices for accommodation tend to drop, as do the temperatures slightly. Spring is also a prime time to visit, but it’s best avoided in the winter months, as most vendors shut up shop, so you’ll be stuck for places to head for dinner.
