Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre?
Dreaming of the Amalfi Coast? It’s beautiful, but it’s not the only coastline worth your time.
Amalfi is for cliffside views, boat days and a splurge. The catch: it’s pricey, the buses fill up in summer, and getting around takes time.
Cinque Terre is five car-free villages linked by trains and coastal trails, and it’s easier on the budget.
