The Mediterranean coast of Amalfi is surrounded by steep mountain cliffs about 700 meters high. From any of its points are amazing views, from which it is impossible to tear off the eye. The variety of colors and relief of nature leaves no one indifferent. Shops, churches, villas, as if carved from a rock, swam against each other, rise up from the sea edge. All buildings are surrounded by terraces and gardens, narrow streets are covered with pebbles and endless steps. Lemons, olives, grapes fill the air with divine aromas.

Amalfi Coast (90 km to Naples and about 300 km to Rome) is the favorite recreational place of the bohemian artistic elite (those same cranks in berets respecting the tricks of the great Dali). This is a calm and picturesque place with a beautiful mild climate and wonderful nature.
