 | Amalfi Off the Beaten Path | Tips 1 - 10 of 21 |  |
The main attraction to take me 45 mins away from bus up winding and steep roads is the youth hostel that is such a good deal to stay at - there are only 18 dorm beds but there is a camping area as well - but i guess unless youre budget conscious its pretty much off the beaten path up there!
There are direct buses from there to Naples which could be handy particularly if youre doing a round trip from Naples to Sorrento and Capri to Positano and then to Amalfi and Ravello.
It is rather pretty up there and according to the huge map of the area thats in the main square a few minutes walk from the youth hostel - or where the bus stops - gives a indication that there can be lots to do up there - walks and so on.
Theres a rather lovely look out a few minutes from the main square looking over the coast where youve probably come from if you got on the bus or driven up from Amalfi. Leave a Comment

 Positano. by K.KnightLeave a Comment

Its about 45 mins by bus into the hills above Amalfi to Agerola which i discovered as it had the cheapest and easiest place to stay at for me. The roads winds and inclines quite steeply but the view back down is pretty - with your own vehicle or just walking down would give you much more opportunity to get some nice pics - its difficult on a public bus full of commuters - and watching you move from side to side on the bus to get your photos from each dramatic twist and turn of the road!
but anyway ... enjoy the views and the tranquility up in the hills Leave a Comment

 Pompeii in the shadows of Mt
Vesuvius. by K.Knight
All of this can be discovered by a short 45 minute drive/bus ride from Amalfi to Sorrento and then a 25 minute train ride directly to the front gate of this fascinating city. Leave a Comment

Found just behind the harbour area, or the side roads on the left hand side of the Piazza Duomo.

This goes down as one of my all time best travel experiences. i don't know how easy it will be for anyone to do it, but you should try. We were in Amalfi, at the port, and wanted to see the famous Grotto. Rather than take the tourist boat, we found a guy in the harbor (there are lots of them there) who offered to take us to the Grotto alone, for an hour, and let us swim where ever we wanted. It was our own private boat tour. It cost about 30 dollars, and boy was it worth it. i guess the bottom line is that anywhere you go, try to seek out a local fisherman, to take you out on his boat, as oppossed to going with the rest of the tourists.

Do keep your eye open for strange bits of masonry (and brick). There were several opulent Roman maritime villas near and in Amalfi, and bits of them were clearly re-used for later building. Which makes perfect sense: why bother spending time and energy creating new stones when there are plenty already lying around?
So look closely at the bell-tower, and at the gate near to the cathedral entrance. You'll see Roman pillars, and Roman bricks........ Leave a Comment
