When Trip the Amalfi Coast
So beautiful is this UNESCO World Heritage Site stretch of road that people come from all over the world to travel along it, and many say it is the most beautiful places in Italy because of the rugged scenery, lush landscapes and turquoise blue seas.The absolute best time for driving the Amalfi Coast is April and very early May or late October into November. If you have to travel in peak season, go early in the morning or on a weekday.
Sorrento – The Starting Point
Sorrento is the unofficial starting point of any Amalfi Coast road trip itinerary. Head for Piazza Tasso where you’ll find pretty shops, restaurants and bars. The piazza is the hub of the city and a perfect spot to indulge in a little people watching. Take a walk through the historic town, full of narrow alleys and home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a fourteenth century church with a tranquil cloister.
Positano, the most famous and recognisable of the Amalfi Coast towns, is the first you will arrive at later from Sorrento. Pastel coloured houses stacked higgledy-piggledy down to the sea. From the road, it’s hard to see where people might walk and enjoy the town, such is the intimacy of the buildings.
Take a wander through the maze of steep streets and steps to find charming hotels, restaurants and interesting independent boutiques and shops. Il Sentiero degli Dei (The Path of The Gods) is an incredible and famous hiking trail in the hills behind Positano.
Positano to Amalfi should take about an hour, but plan on it taking at least two as you stop for photos and traffic! You might also want to stop and see the Grotto della Smeraldo (Emerald Cave), which you can find by taking the stairs down at kilometre marker 24, just outside the fishing village of Conca dei Marini and about 5km before you reach Amalfi itself.
Amalfi is a hugely popular holiday resort and the largest of the coastal towns along the road. It has less of a luxe feel than Positano but is no less attractive. The pretty seafront, with its many cafes and elegant boutiques give this town a buzz and it’s easier to navigate than Positano; meandering rather than hurtling to the sea at its foot.
Head for Piazza del Duomo, in front of the striking cathedral and enjoy a coffee or gelato before taking the steps up to the church. Dedicated to St. Andrew, the Duomo di Sant’Andrea is a tranquil and beautiful place. Inside is the hidden Cloister of Paradise, dating back to 1266, with a army of columns, Arabesque arches and an amazing fresco.
Amalfi has a fascinating history as a maritime republic, whose importance was equal to coastal Pisa, Venice and Genoa. It was a trade bridge between the Byzantine and western worlds for centuries and the town is packed with graceful his.
