Positano
This is the westernmost town along the Amalfi Coast. Positano's main attraction is its pastel-colored houses adorned with vibrant flowers. A key landmark is the 13th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta, renowned for its beautiful tiled dome and the Byzantine icon of a Black Madonna.
Ravello
An ancient town set in a magnificent location overlooking the sea from the edge of the Valle del Dragone (Valley of the Dragons). The 12th-century church of San Giovanni del Toro, remodeled in baroque style, features a mosaic pulpit decorated with Persian majolica, while its crypt contains frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Christ.
Li Galli Islands (Sirenuse)
According to ancient mythology, this was the home of the Sirens. The archipelago consists of the islands of Isca, Vetara, Gallo Lungo, La Castelluccia, and La Rotonda. Gallo Lungo is the largest island and once housed a monastery and a prison. Although you cannot walk on the island itself, its waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
