The Amalfi Coast in southern Italy is one of the most romantic places on earth and the ideal backdrop for your honeymoon. Enjoy your nuptials with a romantic cruise around the blue Mediterranean Sea and watch the sunset, or hold hands and walk with your brand new spouse on the black sand of the Marina Grande Beach.

The Amalfi Coast is known for its cliff-side buildings, striking views and production of limoncello, and is located at the mouth of the Valle dei Mulini, overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. For hundreds of years, this was the go-to spot for Roman emperors, but today it’s a honeymooners’ paradise. Couples enjoy vacationing in this area that has great views, restaurants, spas, harbors and so much more.

When you’re not in your room enjoying some of the most amazing views of the water that you will ever see, visit St. Andrew’s Cathedral. The Cathedral dates back to the 11th century and has a Baroque interior filled with paintings of saints. The happy couple should also visit the Collegiata di Santa Maria Maddalena church in the charming village of Atrani.

Make the most of your excursion to the coast and take day trips over to Positano, where the 2003 film “Under the Tuscan Sun” had scenes filmed with Diane Lane and Raoul Bova. It is also said that author Patricia Highsmith was inspired to write The Talented Mr. Ripley while staying in Positano. Explore Positano’s winding passageways, as well as Spiaggia Grande, a dark strip of beach. Positano is also known for its great restaurants and shopping.

There are many festivals to enjoy along the Amalfi Coast including the Festival of Sant’Antonio which includes a large fireworks display over the harbor of Amalfi and the Festival of Sant’ Andrea.
