Now, hold on a second...
Before you judge me too quickly, let me suggest
that you may be suffering from the same exact "problem".
Well, let me put it this way, if you're not completely
infatuated with the villages, people and scenery of the
Amalfi Coast, you will be by the time you leave this site,
and here's why...
Italy's Amalfi Coast is agreed by many to be the single
most beautiful place on the planet! If you doubt me
just keep reading and you'll be onboard, trust me.
If you've been there, I apologize if that comment forced
you to inexplicably blurt out a loud, "AMEN!"
And, if you've never been to the Amalfi Coast, well,
then just sit back and let me briefly paint a quick
picture for you.
Kodak this for a minute...
You're traveling south from Naples in a luxury sedan driven
by the steady hand of Giuseppe, your hired driver. About 40
minutes into the journey, the road begins to narrow as you
are climbing in elevation.
With your windows down, you're enjoying a fresh cool
Mediterranian breeze off the sea, and the driver slows to
navigate another hairpin turn. This has got to be the
curviest road ever built, leading you to internally
question the sobriety of the street engineer!
Now let your mind's eye imagine the Deepest blue sky you've
ever seen. Sharp cliffs descend into the rocky ocean shore,
as the turquoise water violently breaks among the rugged
boulders hundreds of meters below.
Never before did you feel so dependent upon a driver as
Giuseppe negotiates precision passing with traffic passing
northbound on the Amalfi Drive. The south bound journey is
not for the faint of heart. But with the wheels just
centimeters from the cliff's edge at times, your
adrenaline, juiced even more by the dramatic scenery you're
taking in, is fired up.
Invigorating! Exhilarating!
Before long, you come upon a storybook village called
Positano.
Positano is a small seaside village built quite literally on
the rocks leading down to neat beachside area. You decide
to casually walk along the Bougainvillea covered walkway,
where you pass shops, cafes, and various watercolor artists
selling and painting vivid captures of the fashionable,
unforgettable hamlet.
Nice.
Positano is one of over 10 different like-minded villages
along Italy's Amalfi Coast. Each village offering their
version of "Heaven" on Earth, in new, previously unimagined
ways.
The Romantic Positano, Scenic Ravello, sleepy intrigue of
Scala, to the history and fishing of Amalfi. From the quiet
fishing villages, to the romantic coastal views... yes it's
not hard to become addicted to the Amalfi Coast.
You probably want to know who's talking to you and how this
site can help your thirst for Amalfi. Let's start with a
quick introduction.
My name is Lucy and I have created this site to break from the contemporary boredom and corporate structure of most tourism sites.. This was supposed to be a joint venture but alas you are stuck with only me. I will try my best for you!
I have traveled to many places around the world and have
become an expert in the travel industry with over 20 years
years of industry experience. But I'm not here to tell
you about anything or anywhere else than my core love...
yep, the Amalfi Coast.
It's a bit comical as you'll come to see. I despise the
boring, lame, often biased structures of the other travel
sites. In short, I like to have fun, and absolutely love
talking about our experiences and stories associated with
my journeys.
Listen, so I get a bit corny sometimes, give me a break.
I am more curious than most, so I go
around lifting up proverbial rocks in places, just to see
what we might be missing.
Sometimes,
things scurry away, other times, I find gems!
You'll hear about both. =)
The site couldn't be laid out anymore simple. This is the
main page about the Amalfi Coast. From here, you can access
detailed information on any of the towns along the drive,
learn about restaurants, vendors, tours, beaches, people,
things to stay away from, hotels, villas, real estate, you
name it.
