Cheap flights to Amalfi, Italy from $289

The breathtaking views and relaxing lifestyle keep tourists traveling to the Amalfi Coast every year. Situated along the southern shore dividing the Bay of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s most picturesque and pristine resort areas. Start your vacation to the Amalfi Coast with a drive through the region – there are no direct flights to Amalfi so travelers wanting to explore the region take Amalfi flights to Naples and drive along the shore to the quaint villages in Amalfi.

Once you enter the Amalfi Coast region, take in the scenery that seems to transcend along the Mediterranean. Multi-colored homes and rugged mountains line the shores and centuries-old fishing villages still operate in a simplistic lifestyle. The small village of Praiano is flanked with caves and castles just waiting to be explored, while the tranquil village of Atrani stills peacefully overlooking the sea.

Though the villages still retain a sense of old Italy, the Amalfi Coast is very much a modern tourist destination spot. Villas and resorts are plentiful and visitors traveling to Amalfi find luxury and lavishness at every turn. Amalfi is dependent on the tourist dollar, so it’s no surprise that flights to Amalfi are frequent via Naples and Rome airports, and there are plenty of rental cars available at the airports for travelers wanting to explore the region on their own. Don’t worry if you get lost – Amalfi is the hometown of Flavio Gioja, the inventor of the compass, so you’re bound to find your path to the Amalfi Coast.

Amalfi, Italy Travel Information

• The natural wonders on display along the Amalfi Coast may draw hordes of tourists, but avid architecture enthusiasts book cheap flights to Amalfi in order to appreciate the architectural splendor of Ravello’s Piazza Duomo. Walk through the Chiostro del Paradiso (“Cloister of Paradise”) to snap some postcard-worthy pictures before you head over to the cathedral in the center of town.
• Lemon groves have been springing up on the Amalfi Coast since the 11th century, and freshly flavor a wide array of Italian dishes and desserts. A bottle of limoncello (lemon liqueur) makes for a great souvenir, but check with TSA rules and regulations before you try to pack it in your carry-on for your return Amalfi flight.
• If you’d like an indoor break from the scenic drives, spend a day browsing through the illustrious halls of the museums along the Amalfi Coast. One of the more unusual artifact collections is at the Museo della Carta, which chronicles Amalfi’s presence as a paper-producing authority in Italy since the 12th century.
