AMALFI
The fact is that Amalfi has an incredible history! This speck of a place rose from being a
fishing village to one of the fiercest naval republics in the Mediterranean
during Medieval times.
An important part of Amalfi’s past is the production of paper, which
goes back to the 13th Century. Amalfi
paper was famous all over the Mediterranean through the Middle Ages until
Renaissance times. The Museo della Carta (Paper Museum) brings to light this
element of the town’s past, and the ruins of the original mills can be visited
as well.
The most impressive thing in Amalfi today the Duomo.
The cathedral, dedicated to Saint Andrew, dates back to the 9th
Century. It has been expanded and
restyled many times over the centuries, incorporating Arab-Norman, Gothic, Renaissance,
Baroque elements topped off with a 19th-century Norman-Arab-Byzantine facade
(whew!).
POMPEII
One of the ancient world's worst disasters stopped time in Pompeii, where you will see life as it was almost
2000 years ago. The cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD buried the
city under ash and lava, where it remained brilliantly preserved until
excavations began in the 18th century.
You will have 2 hours to tour on foot (or better yet, with a private guide), gaining insight into the lives of ancient Romans as you walk amongst the remains of bathhouses, temples, markets and forums.
POSITANO
Lemons are renowned in these parts, perhaps at their most famous when
turned into limoncello, a scrumptious lemon liqueur that you
will definitely want to try. Enjoy free time to explore this elegant spot
with its many boutiques, open-air markets and seaside cafes.
RAVELLO
Perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, Ravello is a place of
unparalleled natural beauty and breathtaking views. To get there you will take
a slow uphill drive from Amalfi, passing vineyards and groves of olive
trees.
One of the nicest things about Ravello is that it is still has a village
feel, and it’s not overrun by tourism. And then there are the
architectural and historical points of interest, particularly Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. These unbelievable gardens
inebriate visitors with the sweet scents of blooming flowers and lemon trees,
and captivate the eye with their bright colors. The views are
jaw-dropping.
Along Via Roma you will find upscale boutiques and traditional
restaurants featuring exceptional local cuisine.
SORRENTO
If you have a sweet tooth (well, even if you don’t) you should taste
some sfogliatelle, a delectable Neapolitan pastry filled
with ricotta cheese and candied fruit.
