Traveling in Italy: The Amalfi Coast
Summary:
Embark on an unforgettable journey along Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast.
---
If you’re curating a list of the world's most beautiful destinations, the Amalfi Coast in Italy undoubtedly deserves a top spot. Renowned for its breathtaking vistas, hairpin turns, fragrant lemons, charming hotels, and quaint towns, it’s a must-see for any traveler.
Nestled on the southern side of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, the best way to explore the coast is to fly into Naples, rent a car, and drive to Sorrento. Using Sorrento as your base, you can leisurely explore the coastal gems over several days.
Start your journey in Sorrento and drive to Positano. A Michelin map is helpful to navigate this picturesque route. Before you reach Positano, pause at Positano Belvedere?"a spectacular vantage point with sweeping views of the town.
Once in Positano, take time to stroll around. This former fishing village, now an international hotspot frequented by celebrities, is dotted with whitewashed houses adorned with bougainvilleas.
Continue your drive to Vertica Maggiore and Furore del Valle, two more enchanting towns. Nearby, visit the Emerald Grotto, an ethereal emerald cave accessible only by boat, where the Tyrrhenian Sea and sunlight create a breathtaking display.
Next, head to the towns of Amalfi and Ravello, both offering unforgettable panoramas. In Ravello, witness whitewashed houses perched on hills and gardens flourishing with vines, lemons, and olive trees. Ravello’s beauty has inspired countless visitors and residents for centuries.
Must-See Attractions:
Ravello:
- Villa Rufolo
- Villa Cimbrone
- Ravello Cathedral
Amalfi:
- St. Andrew’s Cathedral
- Cloister of Paradise (Chiostro del Paradiso)
Dining Delights:
Located in Italy’s Campania region, the Amalfi Coast offers southern Italian dishes featuring pizza, pasta, tomatoes, eggplant, mozzarella, seafood, and citrus. Don’t miss the Insalata Caprese, a delightful salad of San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil, and basil, linked to the Island of Capri.
The region also boasts rich volcanic soil perfect for viticulture. Although lesser-known, the local wines are equally exquisite. Enjoy a glass with lunch or dinner, served in carafes or bottles. Conclude your meal Italian-style with a strong, dark espresso.
Travel Tips:
Equip yourself with a reliable map and a quality guidebook; Frommer’s and Michelin are highly recommended and widely available at major bookstores. Italians are known for their friendliness, making navigation easy even if you don’t speak Italian.
