Great Seaside Italy Spot

Great Seaside Italy Spot, Atrani

 jaydjay Says:  I went to Atrani in October a couple years ago. It was excellent. Atrani was perfect. It was not touristy in anyway, was very cheaply priced and we were accepted as locals for the most part. I was backpacking and stayed at the only hostel in town. We were just about the only... 

Old Streets

Old Streets, Atrani

 sandysmith Says:  Walking over to Amalfi you will discover that that the streets and alleyways of Atrani have maintained their medieval structure with flowers and lamps decorating the narrow alleys and adding splashes of colour to the peeling pastel walls of the storied houses. 

Nearly at Amalfi

Nearly at Amalfi, Atrani

 sandysmith Says:   The walk to Amalfi from Atrani did not take long - only about 20 mins but we kept stopping to look at the architecture of the houses and views from the coast once we 'd climbed up out of the old houses and onto the balcony path around the cliff.It almost looks impossible... 

View of Amalfi

View of Amalfi, Atrani

 sandysmith Says:   One of the best views of Amalfi was from the path coming from Atrani. The beach was bustling with activity of the weekend sunworshipers aand the view around the bay was magnificent. Just at the edge of the pic you can see the path dropping down into the town - great photo... 

Walking to Amalfi

Walking to Amalfi, Atrani

 sandysmith Says:   Once we'd enjoyed peaceful Atrani it was onto the hustle and bustle of Amalfi. Its only a short walk around the bay - some 500m. Don''t take the busy Amalfi coastal road which goes through a litttle tunnel and full of traffic fumes but look for the sign in Piazza Umberto I...
