Blue Grotto If you are taking a trip to the Amalfi Coast, the Blue Grotto must be on your list of things to do in the Amalfi Coast. Being in a cave surrounded by shimmering blue water is an absolutely indescribable feeling. You have to take these small boats where you lie down in order to get into the grotto. Once you are in, you have the option to stay in the boat and enjoy the beauty or jump in and go for a swim. But just a tip, if you plan on going for a swim, expect to give your boat driver a 5 euro tip.

2. Pompeii

Pompeii This famous city buried under a layer of volcanic ash is absolutely breathtaking. It is incredible to see such a well-preserved city. If you get a tour guide, they can take you through and go into extreme detail into the planning of the city and what life was like there. And if you are into a more scandalous visit, check out the Red Light district that Pompeii was home to.

3. Cliff Diving

4. Mt. Vesuvius

Mt. Vesuvius If you are in for a hike up one of the most famous volcanoes in the world, you should stop for a stroll up Mt. Vesuvius.

It makes it even more exciting to know that the volcano is still active today.

5. Limoncello Tasting

    If you do go cliff diving, make sure the water is a) deep enough eg. check tides b) don't do it when your angry c) have someone with you in case you get injured, as jumping off 15m with your back slightly not straight will leave you bruised and off 10m legs in slightly seated position will leave you bruised to the bone for a good couple of weeks. And d) don't go head first, as you never know what's under the water e) Avoid swirl/under-current if you can
