Read here how and where to buy your Salerno to Amalfi Bus Tickets, and how to save some money. The Amalfi Coast of Italy is one of the more prestigious areas of the country. With one more picturesque city nestled on the shores, crawling into the rowing hills, with deep blue waters and lush greenery. Amalfi is a namesake for the area, Atrani, Portofino or Ravello to name just a few highlights of the coast.
