The uniqueness of the natural landscape and the undisputed beauty of the Amalfi coastline have earned it the honor of being termed as one of the World Heritage Sites of UNESCO. The oxymoronic combination of fisherman and farmer, sea, and mountain characterizes the land that’s regarded as the Amalfi coast. Thanks to the endless efforts made by man, the mountains have learned to adapt themselves to the demand of life over the centuries. Small pebble beaches, charming coves, bays, cliffs, natural arches, caverns, and deep fjords can be found at the Amalfi coast because it plunges into the sea. Over the ages, these natural elements have helped the area in becoming a seductive, sinuous, and enchanting landscape.
