mapakettle Says: This scene is only ten minutes from Amantea. The region is very mountainous, very picturesque. Notice in the far distance, the wonderfully warm salt water of the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the shore of which Amantea is situated.
La Gran Savana: Big bathrooms...
mapakettle Says: I think we like this hotel because there was no pretense of any sort. The three ladies who had this vision years ago of a hotel, offer great value, with great service.They attempt to provide the freshiest sea food possible, and go out of their way for their guests. One day...
La Gran Savana: The Best in Amantea
mapakettle Says: La Gran Savana Hotel is located on the main street of Amantea, with oodles of seafood and pizza within easy reach. The rooms are basic but clean,spacious, with big bathrooms, lots of hot water, balconies and air conditioning. Breakfast was included in our rate of 65 euros,...
The Boardwalk...a midnight stroll: Summertime Bliss
mapakettle Says: Amantea is blessed with a summer-time activity best remembered by those of us who listened to the music of the Coasters growing up...an evening stroll along the Boardwalk. Live bands, carousels, bumper cars, gelato stands, pizza (baked in wood ovens), candy floss, street...
mapakettle Says: Getting around Amantea on foot is so easy. Very safe, scenic, however the heat of the afternoon could do even the fittest of us damage. Siestas are highly recommended from 2pm until about 5pm.Taxi service is non-existant. Local service ceased to be economically viable a few...
mapakettle Says: The best way to reach Amantea is by train from Naples. EuroStar offers one train per day direct, and numerous other trains which stop in Paulo, where you then transfer.All trains travel parallel with the seaside, so wonderful scenery is yours to behold. Beaches on your...
mapakettle Says: It had been over fifty years since I swam in salt water. Brought back memories, and sand in my shorts. Nothing ever changes...The water was wonderful, warm, inviting, cooling under the hot sun. However, don't allow these idylic conditions to lead you into a false sense of...

mapakettle Says: Amantea is a great place to stop, and shake off your worries. Fantastic beaches, a slower pace, and wonderful food.On one hand you've got water and sand, ten minutes later, you're winding your way through deep valleys along narrow mountain roads.
mapakettle Says: If you're reading this, you probably read about Harold, our 'almost' ellusive landlord. The picture to your left isn't really Harold, but in some strange way, reminds me of him. VT member Beach Dog used this photo for a Forum posting one night, and kindly allowed me to use...
Trains, boats, and, well, more trains...
mapakettle Says: If your hotel is situated along the edge of the sea, there is a good possibility that you will have memorized the train schedules before you check out. Expect to share this prime property with the sounds of the 3am Special zipping by, because the trains could not be placed...
Hot, hot days, cooling breezes off the water...
mapakettle Says: Our preference for baggage are back packs. A year ago, we wouldn't be caught dead with one, now, our luggage is in storage. Best for travelling on trains, buses, and small cars. If you feel the need for a proper suitcase, be sure to purchase one that is narrow enough to roll...
