Paradas en Este Tour (10)
- 1 Sorrento — Piazza Tasso The elegant resort town perched on volcanic cliffs above the Bay of Naples. Limoncello originated here, made from the fat lemons that grow on every terrace.
- 2 Positano — Spiaggia Grande A cascade of pastel houses tumbling down to a black sand beach. John Steinbeck wrote that Positano "bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there."
- 3 Praiano — Torre a Mare A quieter village draped over two hillsides with views of Capri. The medieval Saracen watchtower stands guard against pirates who once raided this coast.
- 4 Furore Fjord A dramatic rock gorge plunging to a tiny beach — Italy's only fjord. The village above was once so isolated it invented its own form of cursive writing.
- 5 Amalfi — Cathedral of St. Andrew Once a maritime republic rivaling Venice and Genoa, Amalfi gave the world the magnetic compass. The Arab-Norman cathedral dominates the piazza with its striped facade.
- 6 Atrani Italy's smallest municipality by area, tucked into a ravine beside Amalfi. Its piazza was once the ceremonial space where Amalfi's doges were crowned.
- 7 Ravello — Villa Rufolo Perched 350 meters above the sea, Ravello's gardens inspired Wagner's Parsifal. Gore Vidal lived here for decades, calling it "closer to the sky than the sea."
- 8 Minori A Roman villa with intact 1st-century frescoes sits at the heart of this lemon-growing village. Minori claims to be the birthplace of pasta on the Amalfi Coast.
- 9 Cetara A working fishing village famous for colatura di alici — an anchovy sauce descended from Roman garum. The annual tuna festival celebrates centuries of maritime tradition.
- 10 Vietri sul Mare The gateway to the Amalfi Coast, renowned for its hand-painted ceramics. Every surface — domes, stairways, street signs — is decorated in the vibrant majolica tradition.
