The September edition of the National Geographic had a special on the world's 50 greatest drives and we were happy to see that the a drive along the Costiera Amalfitana was included in the list.

This comes as no suprise, of course, since the Amalfi Coast is one of the few coast lines to be deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an "outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, with exceptional cultural and natural scenic values".

The National Geographic suggest that one begins in Salerno, make your way to Ravello, then follow the Coast to Amalfi itself before heading to the Valle dei Mulini in the hills. Finally move on to Praiano and the world-famous Positano.

The map below shows the entire route.
