  • Travel's Taste
    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

  • Costiera Amalfitana
    COSTIERA AMALFITANAItinerario selezionato da COSTIERA AMALFITANA er gli appassionati di cinema, la Costiera amalfitana è un viaggio nel viaggio. Roberto Rossellini amava così tanto questi paesaggi da realizzarci diversi film, anche se il più famoso resta Paisà. A Sorrento, invece, Dino Risi girò Pane, amore e... con Sophia Loren e Vittorio De Sica. E John Huston scelse Ravello per ambientare Il tesoro dell’Africa con Humphrey Bogart e Gina Lollobrigida. Un legame, quello fra cinema e Costiera che continua anche oggi. Come dimostra P Amalfi il fatto che Christopher Nolan ha voluto come set per alcune scene del suo ultimo film di spionaggio, Tenet. Oggi, di celebrity e divi di Hollywood, da queste parti ce ne sono persino più che in passato. Lo sanno tutti ma nessuno, paparazzi a parte, li vede. La ragione è che sono invisibili: a bordo dei mega yacht ancorati al largo, si spostano fino a terra in motoscafo giusto il tempo di arroccarsi in Uno scorcio di Amalfi, che si apre a hotel gelosissimi della privacy dei propri clienti ventaglio sul mare, (Woody Harrelson a parte, che si sente ormai sotto le rocce dei Monti Lattari cittadino a tutti gli effetti di Ravello e che se ne CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER per AMERICAN EXPRESS COSTIERA AMALFITANA gira indisturbato per il paese). L’unico modo per incontrarli a distanza semi ravvicinata sono i festival che, d’estate, rappresentano un’altra attrazione della zona. Il Giffoni Film Festival, che in realtà si trova a Valle piana, a una mezz’ora da Salerno, è uno di questi. Negli anni, ha ospitato centinaia di attori e attrici come Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Amy Adams, Kit Harington.

  • How to Get from Naples to Amalfi Coast
    By Wanderlust Storytellers Quick Overview: • Day 1: Drive to Amalfi Coast and explore Positano • Day 2: Enjoy the stunning Ilse of Capri • Day 3: Explore the beautiful coastal towns along the Amalfi Coast drive Accommodation: • 2 Nights at either Positano, Praiano, Ravello or Amalfi (We recommend 3 nights in Amalfi) HELPFUL INFORMATION When to Go: May – June and September – October Try to avoid heading there in the middle of summer as it will be sweltering hot and you will find crowds everywhere! How Long Should I Stay on the Amalfi Coast? We highly recommend a minimum of 3 days and 4 nights. Most travelers choose to spend 7 days on Amalfi Coast which is the optimum amount of days to fit in all the towns, walks, beaches and day trips. Which Town Should I Stay at on the Amalfi Coast? Our absolutely favourite town to stay in is Positano. It is truly the most beautiful out of all the towns but unfortunately it is also one of the costlier ones to stay at. Read more about Positano in our guide here. If you need help in figuring out where to stay, you will find our detailed comparison table and review guide of the towns beneficial. How to get from Naples to Amalfi Coast: • Options: You have the option of catching local transport (bus, train, ferry); grabbing a private transfer (we personally love Blacklane Transfers); or Renting a Car (our personal favourite method). • Time Required to get from Naples to Positano: Around 1.30 hours (more if driving in rush hour traffic) Day One POSITANO ACCOMMODATION: Amalfi MORNING | Drive from Naples to Positano Depending on your arrival time in Naples, you could either visit Pompeii or Sorrento on the way down to Positano.

  • Positano by John Steinbeck
    POSITANO BY JOHN STEINBECK I first heard of Positano from Alberto Moravia. It was very hot in Rome. He said, “Why don’t you go down to Positano on the Amalfi Coast? It is one of the fine places of Italy”. Later John McKnight of United States Information Service told me the same thing. He had spent a year there working on a book. Half a dozen people echoed this. Positano kind of moved in on us and we found ourselves driving down to Naples on our way. To an American, Italian traffic is at first just down-right nonsense. It seems hysterical, it follows no rule. You cannot figure what the driver ahead or behind or beside you is going to do next and he usually does it. But there are other hazards besides the driving technique. There are the motor scooters, thousands of them, which buzz at you like mosquitoes. There is a tiny little automobile called “Topolino” or “mouse” which hides in front of larger cars; there are gigantic trucks and tanks in which most of Italy’s goods are moved; and finally there are assorted livestock, hay wagons, bicycles, lone horses and mules out for a stroll, and to top it all there are the pedestrians who walk blissfully on the highways never looking about. To give this madness more color, everyone blows the horn all the time. This deafening, screaming, milling, tire-screeching mess is ordinary Italian highway traffic. My drive from Venice to Rome had given me a horror of it amounting to cowardice.
