I have so much from my travels to show you in Italy & I’m starting today!!!
This would be your POV as I take in these views.
Living in Europe for three years gave us so many experiences I am so grateful for!
This was at the Fiordo Di Furore on the Amalfi Coast. A truly breathtaking sight.
The Fiordo di Furore is a stunning and unique fjord located on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Despite its name, it’s not a true fjord (which is typically carved by glaciers); instead, it’s a deep gorge created by the Schiato River, which carved its way through the cliffs before emptying into the sea.
What Makes It Special?
1. Dramatic Scenery – The fjord is flanked by steep limestone cliffs, creating a hidden cove with crystal-clear water.
2. Secluded Beach – At the bottom of the fjord lies a tiny, picturesque beach.
3. Historic Fishing Village – A few old fishermen’s houses, once home to local workers, still cling to the cliffs, giving it a fairy-tale feel.
4. Iconic Bridge – A 30-meter-high stone bridge (part of the Amalfi Drive) spans the fjord, offering breathtaking views.
5. Diving Spot – Every year, the bridge hosts a cliff diving competition, attracting elite divers from around the world.
How to Visit?
• You can reach the Fiordo di Furore by car via the SS163 Amalfitana road, with stairs leading down to the beach.
• It’s also accessible by boat or kayak, offering a unique view from the sea.
• The best time to visit is early morning or off-season, as it can get crowded during peak summer months.
