As we embarked on our journey to the Amalfi Coast, we were greeted by a stunningly beautiful coastline that seemed to leap straight out of a postcard.


Nestled between dramatic cliffs and the azure Mediterranean Sea, this Italian gem offers an unforgettable blend of breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and mouthwatering cuisine.


Here's a glimpse into our adventure, along with some practical tips to make your visit just as magical.



<h3> A Day in Positano </h3>


Our trip began in Positano, the quintessential Amalfi Coast village with its colorful houses cascading down the cliffs. We strolled through narrow, winding streets lined with boutique shops and art galleries. One of the highlights was the Spiaggia Grande, the main beach, where we lounged on sunbeds for around €15 each, soaking up the sun and enjoying the spectacular view.


For a taste of local flavors, we stopped by Da Vincenzo, a charming eatery famous for its homemade pasta. We savored a delicious plate of Spaghetti alle Vongole (spaghetti with clams) for €18, and the fresh seafood was as delightful as the setting. With its casual atmosphere and friendly service, Da Vincenzo was a perfect spot for a relaxed lunch.


<h3> Discovering Amalfi Town </h3>


The next day, we ventured to Amalfi town, where we were enchanted by its picturesque harbor and vibrant squares. One of our favorite stops was the Amalfi Coast’s historic paper museum, Museo della Carta. The museum is open from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and costs €8 for admission. It offers a fascinating insight into the town's ancient paper-making traditions.


After exploring the museum, we headed to the bustling Piazza del Duomo, where we enjoyed a leisurely coffee break at Caffè Napoli. Here, we indulged in a creamy gelato cone for €4, a sweet treat to cool down under the midday sun.



<h3> Wandering through Ravello </h3>


Our journey continued to Ravello, a town renowned for its breathtaking views and lush gardens. We visited Villa Cimbrone, known for its Terrace of Infinity, which offers panoramic views of the coast. The entrance fee is €10, and it’s well worth it for the spectacular vistas and the serene garden paths.


For a light lunch, we dined at Trattoria Da Lorenzo, where we sampled a traditional Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil for €12. The restaurant's relaxed ambiance and stunning views made for a perfect dining experience.

The trail is free to access, but hiring a local guide for around €40 can enhance the experience with insights into the region’s natural beauty.


<h3> Practical Tips for Your Trip </h3>
