1Atrani, Amalfi Coast, Italy

Hidden in plain sight on the Amalfi Coast, Atrani is often overshadowed by its famous neighbor, Amalfi. Yet this tiny seaside town is one of the most picturesque places in southern Italy. 

Colorful houses stack dramatically against steep cliffs, connected by stairways and narrow alleys. A small beach sits at the base of the town, framed by historic buildings and a charming piazza where locals gather.

Unlike the more crowded destinations nearby, Atrani has managed to keep its authentic atmosphere, making it feel like a true Mediterranean secret.
