About this subject
The Amalfi Drive, also known as SS163, is one of the world's most scenic roads, connecting Sorrento to Salerno along the Sorrentine Peninsula coast. Built in the 19th century, it features sharp curves and tunnels carved into the rock, offering panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and picturesque coastal towns such as Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. The road is narrow, often only two lanes, and demands driver attention due to heavy traffic during peak season. The approximately 50-kilometer journey can take hours due to obligatory photo stops and slow pace. The region has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997, recognizing its unique natural and cultural beauty. Besides the landscape, local cuisine with fresh seafood and limoncello attracts visitors worldwide.
