StoriesExploring Italy part three: The Amalfi Coast
Read moreFor the final stretch of our holiday, we left Rome and headed south to the stunning and historic Amalfi Coast. A land of history, culture and breathtaking views, this oft forgotten part of southern Italy is the perfect place to unwind by the beach, especially after a packed few days exploring Rome.

However, instead of using cars, we used entirely public transport to get between the four main locations we visited.
