Below, see our picks of exciting things you can do on your romantic Amalfi getaway.

In Sorrento, check out Il Buco, a modern restaurant housed in the cellars of an old monastery. And when staying in Amalfi town, make sure to dine in Sensi.

Hike the Path of Gods
Locally known as the Sentiero degli Dei, the Path of Gods is dubbed one of the most scenic walks in Italy. Throughout your journey, you will be able to see ancient historic towns, ruins and enjoy jaw-dropping views of the coastline. The Path of Gods stretches between two small mountain villages, Bomberano and Nocelle. The trail is about 4.7 miles long, and takes about four hours to complete. Before heading, pack your camera, water and snacks.
Take a Trip to Capri
Your Amalfi Coast honeymoon will be incomplete without visiting Italy's gem — the island of Capri. Famous for its natural beauty, it is always packed with tourists from all around the world. Plus, the island is favored by celebrities, so it's not unusual to spot movie stars, musicians, or athletes vacating there. Getting to Capri is easy, as ferries run from every destination along the Amalfi Coastline. Sunbathe and lounge on one of the island's stunning beaches, wander around the beautiful Gardens of Augustus, or explore the magical Blue Grotto — here, at Capri, every tourist can find something cool to do.
Visit the Fiordo di Furore
Located just a 20-minute drive from Amalfi, Fiordo di Furore is the only fjord in the whole of Italy. This secluded, picturesque attraction is recognized for its crystal clear waters, perfect for swimming, and fantastic ocean views. Consider visiting Fiordo di Furore in the morning when it’s less crowded. Also, it’s the ideal time to take photos as the lighting is not too harsh. Romantic and scenic, Fiordo di Furore is the top place to create memories with your special someone.
Explore Amalfi Town
If you want to dive deeper into the Amalfi’s culture and history, book a guided walking tour around the region’s unofficial “capital” to get insider knowledge. If you are an adventurous type, explore the town all by yourselves! When in Amalfi, visit the gorgeous 9th-century Amalfi Cathedral, check out Amalfi’s famous paper museum, and try foods at local cafes to get a better taste of the diverse gastronomic scene of the old town. Also, don’t forget to shop for lovely souvenirs!
