Spoil Yourself By Vacationing In Amalfi
If you plan to get to Amalfi by car then you are in for a visual treat. The first thing that will strike you are the breathtaking views of the ocean as you travel along the coast road. I got to Amalfi by bus and this allowed me to take in the jaw dropping views of the coastline.
Anyone driving themselves would need to concentrate on the road however. The reason for this is that the roads of built into the sides of the high cliffs. They are fairly narrow roads, with not much of a barrier keeping the road from the sheer drop of the cliffs. This is more breathtaking if you are a passenger at the back of a bus as it can seem that you are literally over the edge of the cliffs at times. If you trust the bus driver and don't suffer from fear of heights, this is a roller coaster ride like introduction to the Amalfi coastline.
The area of Campania is picture postcard location and has seen people visit it's coastline for well over 200 hundred years for rest and recreation. It was initially made popular to the English speaking world when Edwardian England first recognized it as a place to stay. The region is noted for two main towns, Amalfi itself and Positano. They are fairly close together and a 15 minute bus trip will get you to and from Each venue.
Amalfi is manily a port town so you will be pushed to find a good beach around that area. It does have an impressive town center though. The center of the town is the cathedral or Duomo di Amalfi. This is a baroque styled building which sits atop of the Piazza Duomo. The piazza is littered with quirky tourist shops and restaurants. It is the picture postcard location to have a spot of coffee or even a bite to each at lunch time. The dominate feature of the square is the long, sweeping stairway that joins the Duomo to the Piazza. People are always taking photos of their companions and friends at the foot of these stairs.
The uniques specialties of the region are easy to find in shops and eateries in the town. You should really find yourself a bottle of limoncello to drink there and then or take home as a souvenir. This is a lemon liqueur as the name suggests and is produced from the fleshy and juicy lemons found in the region.
Amalfi is a must see town and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you fancy a beach day or vacation then check out Positano. Positano beach is made up of pebbles so you may be disappointed if you are used to fine sand, however the sea is a welcoming blue and you can spend a few hours relaxing on the beach. There are plenty of venues dotted on the shoreline to have a spot to eat if you so desire. In order to get to the beach you have to walk through the town that is a procession of quaint and modern buildings. When you are on the beach you can look up at all the colorful buildings and this is the classic photograph of the region that you are bound to see on countless postcards of the region.
As you trave to and from Positano, you will doubtless see people picking olives from the many trees scattered along the coast. There are olive trees everywhere and people always seem to be harvesting the fruit.
