The Amalfi Coast is best described as 30-miles of frequently traffic jammed hairpin switchbacks between the cities of Sorrento and Salerno. Driving along the Lattari Mountains are gorgeous, towering views of the Bay of Salerno. Jagged limestone, grey and burnt sienna cliffs rise thousands of feet over terraced olive and lemon groves. An equal distance below the road, crystal clear waters lap gently over black sandy beaches.
