Italy’s Amalfi Coast is a spectacular stretch of mountainous seaside that has been a popular visitor destination for thousands of years. Not only is the climate temperate year round, but the vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards generate an always-fresh bounty of culinary delights. It is little wonder why the places you pass through along the romantic rocky coastline have been made famous in song: like Luciano Pavarotti, you will want to Torna a Surriento (“Come Back to Sorrento”) again and again.
It is difficult to choose a more beautiful panorama when in Amalfi: the view of the sparkling blue sea from the coastal cliffs, or the view of the coastal cliffs from the sparkling blue sea. These sights are much different that what you will take in if you never leave one of the big cities like Florence or Rome on your Italian holiday. Better to live like the jet set for holiday within a holiday by signing up for an Amalfi Coast tour. It will be like taking two vacations in one when you get to experience the countryside and the seaside in the same trip.
Besides its iconic views, you many be familiar with the Amalfi Coast from some of the food and beverages that originate there. Pizza was invented in the region, as was the intensely delicious lemon liquor called limoncello. You owe it to yourself to try samples of each while dining alfresco on a sunny terrace near the sea. Indeed, it is even possible to tour one of the lemon groves nearby to learn more about the famous citrus exports. With guided tours and transfers in Tuscany, simply let your driver know in advance that you would like these experiences to be part of your tour.
Crossing the continent or the world to get to the Italian peninsula will be even more worthwhile if you can take in a variety of views after you arrive in Tuscany. The sights you will see along the Amalfi Coast are not to be missed. Many private day trips Tuscany tours can be customized to accommodate individuals or small groups looking for informed and responsible drivers to take them from Florence to other parts of Italy. Driving yourself across Italy can be stressful, especially along unfamiliar roads with distractingly beautiful vistas. For your safety and for your enjoyment, let the professionals do the driving while you feel like royalty being chauffeured from your hotel in Tuscany to the seaside in stunning Amalfi.
