The Amalfi Coast is located on the Sorrentine Peninsula in Southern Italy. The region is hugely popular among tourists and locals thanks to its beautiful beaches and enticing activities. With the warm summers and mild winters of the Mediterranean climate, any time of year is perfect on the Amalfi Coast.
If you travel to this wonderful region of Italy, be sure to take part in these activities found in the picturesque cities that dot the Amalfi coast.
Coast Road
Whether you choose to drive yourself or be driven along the coast by a tour guide, the drive is as beautiful as it is technical. Full of hairpin turns, cliff side roads and stunning vistas, the ‘Amalfi drive’ is something every visitor to the coast must do.
Ravello-Minori Walk in Ravello
Walking down old, winding paths to the village of Minori will make you feel like you’re walking back into time. Whilst walking, you will pass old mills, orchards and homes, freely imagining what it must have been like centuries ago when these roads were traveled by locals and merchants.
Mamma Agata Cooking Class in Ravello
A day spent in Mamma Agata’s kitchen is not soon to be forgotten. Spend your morning on the terrace overlooking the ocean, eating lemon cake and sipping coffee. Watch, learn and help make several courses of a meal that you will share with other guests. Visitors report being made to feel a part of the family from the moment they walk through the doors of this lovely business.
Vivaro Wine Bar in Praiano
A bit out of the way, Vivaro offers patrons a relaxing atmosphere filled with friendly, inviting people, great food and perfect wine. The restaurant/bar is a fabulous place to meet the locals, learn about the culture of the atmosphere and chat with fellow tourists. The owner/chef, Gennaro, will make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. You may find that the bar soon becomes your nightly haunt if you are in Italy for an extended stay.
Sul Sentiero degli Dei in Praiano
There may be no better way to see a country than to tour it on foot. Start at Bomerano Piazza and walk west to Nocelle, then to Arienzo and finally to Positano. The walk can be completed in just a few hours and, in that time, you will be privy to stunning views of the Amalfi Coast that can be found no where else.
