Amalfi Travel Guide

 solopes Says:  When I decided to travel along the Amalfitan coast, I was expecting to see some of the most beautiful beaches of Italy. Well, "beaches" is not the exact word to describe what I saw. there are a few small banks of sand stretched in the hills, but calling them beaches is... a... 

 solopes Says:  Steep slopes plung into the sea, here and there with small towns perching over each other or even over the water. It is really not much inviting to swim, with the small stripes of sand squeezed among houses and rocks, but it composes wonderful landscapes, making the tour of... 

 Jetgirly Says:  Known as the City of Music, Ravello is a thirty-minute bus ride from Amalfi. Perched high upon a cliff, the town offers excellent views of the sea and countryside, as well as concerts and musical events year-round. High-flying travelers may wish to stay in one of Ravello's... 

 aukahkay Says:  The Piazza Duomo is the center of Amalfi village. The Cathedral of Saint Andrew dominates the piazza. On the piazza are numerous cafes, restaurants, shops and hotels. What a better way to spend a lazy afternoon than sitting down in a cafe over a cup of cappucino and watching... 

 aukahkay Says:  Dominating the Piazza Duomo is Saint Andrew's Cathedral. The cathedral dates back to the 11th century and its interior is adorned in the late Baroque style with a nave and two aisles divided by 20 columns. Within the cathedral is a bronze statue of Saint Andrew. 

 willypit Says:  This is not a fancy restaurant by any means, just a family ( the mom is the cook, the son the waiter) run operation. The food is outstanding, not only do they make a great pizza, but they also are a paticceria. Now what drew me to sit down at one of their tables was a plate... 

 grandmaR Says:  This is a restaurant at the La Concha Azzurra Hotel which has also Allerè Art Shop with it. We stopped here on our way along the Amalfi Drive. The main thing in favor of this place is the view and location. Here there were no hamburgers for my picky grandson so I ordered...

 jenniferbugg Says:  My entire visit to the Amalfi area of Italy was made easy and beautiful by using Amalfi Transfer, a driving and transfer service. Anthony Buonocore, the driver and owner, was a GREAT help during the trip. His knowledge of English was great, the car (which seats up to 8) was... 

 grandmaR Says:  We did a little shopping at Allerè Art shop café - the store that was there- and had the things shipped to my daughter. Things were shipping promptly, but there was a problem with the delivery when they left notes while my daughter was out of town. Then they called me and of... 

 aukahkay Says:   The roads in Amalfi and in all the villages in the Amalfi Coast are cobblestoned. They are steep, narrow and winding. Wear a well padded pair of shoes for the long and arduous walks uphill. Slippers and sandals cannot provide a proper grip on the cobblestoned roads and can... 

 biglou10 Says:  We had a tour scheduled from Sorrento to Amalfi via the Amalfi Coast which was canceled. This was the best thing that could have happened. We paid 100 euros each for the "tour". After visiting the train station, we purchased 2 bus tickets for Amalfi which goes along the...
