The only land route to the Amalfi Coast is the 40 kilometres long Strada Statale 163 which runs along the coastline from the town of Vietri sul Mare in the east to Positano in the west. Thirteen municipalities are located on the Amalfi Coast, many of them centered around tourism.
The Amalfi Coast is known for its production of limoncello liqueur as the area is a known cultivator of lemons - known as ”sfusato amalfitano” - which are grown in terraced gardens along the entire coast. In 1997, the Amalfi Coast was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape.
