Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is one of the world’s most iconic coastlines, dotted with chic hotels and picturesque villages clinging to the precipitous limestone cliffs. This picture, taken just east of Positano and west of Amalfi, shows a hotel perched on its unlikely aerie. From there, it’s a quite a effort to get to the sea to swim, and even more of an effort to get back.
