Furore, tucked into the cliffs of Italy's Amalfi Coast, carries the nickname "the village that doesn't exist" because its homes are scattered across steep hillsides and are nearly invisible from the main road.
The village's defining landmark is the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord and natural harbor with clear waters enclosed by high rock faces. Houses throughout the settlement are painted in soft pastel shades and decorated with colorful murals that have turned the entire village into an open-air art gallery.
Two churches anchor the historic core. The Church of San Giacomo stands at one of the village's highest points, distinguished by a bell tower covered in majolica tiles. The Church of Sant'Elia holds a rare 16th-century triptych. Ancient Roman paths and stone staircases connecting the neighborhoods offer some of the most sweeping panoramic views on the Amalfi Coast.
A large arched bridge spanning the fjord hosts an international high-diving competition each summer, drawing athletes from around the world. Hikers can follow the Path of the Crazy Bat through dense vegetation and old aqueducts. The area also produces award-winning wines from vineyards cultivated on terraced slopes above the sea.
