The Landscape and Architecture seen from an Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter 

The Amalfi coast is located at the foot of the Lattari mountains. This unique location creates a landscape of beaches, coves, as well as cultivated terraces, vineyards and citrus & olive groves. These opposing natures meet to form unforgettable earthly salty scents which are not easily forgotten by any Amalfitano guest. This exclusive immersion in nature by sea is only for the privileged. It allows you to explore and understand the history and inspiration behind the food that is served in this Italian region, which has its roots in the exact locations you will visit.

Weaving through groves and terraces are cliff top villages, built in pastel shades of pink, orange and blue. Sunset walks through stone sidewalks in company of naturally growing purple flowers will be a highlight. They are colourful and romantic. These towns also offer traditional forms of art to admire. Vietri sul Mare, famous worldwide for its ceramics, is an example.

Make this coastline yours by dining in high end restaurants such as Restaurant Zass, Quattro Passi or La Terraza di Lucullo. Alternatively, stay onboard your Amalfi coast yacht charter sipping your alfresco local wine or a small glass of Limoncello. A lemon-based liquor which happens to be a speciality of the region.

Experience Rich Culture On Your Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

The Amalfi coast, much like the rest of Italy, has its origins in many different cultures and civilisations. The Romans, as well as the Ancient Greeks, the Normans, Arab-Sicilians and many more have all left an indelible mark. The Amalfi coast specifically, has an unmistakable oriental influence, stemming from their historical trade links with the East. the Romanesque Cathedral of Amalfi is a beautiful instance of these ancient cultures mixing is. The famous “Cloister of Paradise, concealed within, exhibits immaculately preserved, oriental style white columns and arches. The Medieval cathedral of St Andrews is a perfect example of Norman influence.

Other parts of the Amalfi history such as the Saracen Tower of Cetara are best observed from the water and therefore, from the comfort of your sundeck.
