Take a tour of Atrani on Amalfi Coast in Italy – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The charming town of Atrani on the Amalfi coast of Italy takes pride in its small, quiet, and familial community.

Atrani is portrayed by the renowned artist, M.C Esher, in his realistic lithograph entitled simply, “Atrani, Coast of Amalfi” and again in his more well known “Metamorphosis” series.

The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Madellena is one of Atrani’s architectural masterpieces; the shining dome and geometric bell tower are a central point of the town’s skyline.

The town was originally inhabited by the powerful and wealthy families of the ancient Roman aristocracy.

Only accessible by sea, this hillside town’s stunning architecture and greenery is simply awe-inspiring.

The lack of traffic and winding streets allow visitors to absorb everything Atrani has to offer.

The seclusion this town enjoys makes it a highly attractive and romantic destination.
