Hey there, I toured around Amalfi coast for 9 days and it is truly spectacular. We started in Salerno where a lot of WWII Canadians landed when invading Italy. We visited Paestum which is about an hour south and is a very well preserved Roman ruin.
Heading north from there we stayed in a town called Atrani, just outside of Amalfi (there's a town called Amalfi along with the coast). It was quaint and about a 15min walk to the hustle and bustle of Amalfi Town....but man was it amazing. We used that as our hub and took a boat trip to the Isle of Capri (which is spectacular), saw the blue grotto, and just enjoyed the area. The boat trips are definitely worth it as the view from the water up to the towns is spectacular.
We finished our Amalfi tour in Sorrento which is a more touristy but still gorgeous city. From there its not too far to get to Pompeii or Mt. Vesuvius.
Either way, you are going to absolutely love it....the road is pretty damn scary but quite the feat of engineering.
If you want any further info, let me know and I'll try and access my memory banks...ha.
