Ravello.

What to do in Ravello Amalfi Coast Italy

Perched on Monte Tore above Amalfi, Ravello moves at a deliberate, quiet pace. The day revolves around Piazza Vescovado, quiet walks between cliffside villa gardens, and lazy terrace lunches over local pasta and crisp white wine. It suits travellers who prefer panoramic mountain scenery, historic stone architecture, and calm evenings over crowded beaches and marina traffic.
