The Amalfi Coast Travel
Spending summer on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is, unsurprisingly, a popular choice with tourists from all over the world. Minori , the ancient Reghinna Minor, has a long tradition in the production of handmade pasta as well as in the processing of the famous Amalfi coast lemon PGI Surrounded by lush terraced gardens, the small town of the Divine coast hides architectural treasures of great value, such as the ruins of the Roman villa (I century AD), the Basilica of Santa Trofimena and the bell-tower of Annunziata in Arab-Norman style.
It has direct access to the water; warm, impeccable hospitality, and the food—everything from ideal beachside fare at Carlino's to Michelin-starred Zass—but is located just outside Positano so you feel ensconced in a bubble of luxury, yet within easy range of the town's charms and amenities.
The Hotel Onda Verde, at the center of all the towns of the Amalfi coast, just 7 km from Amalfi and Positano, offers you the best opportunities to get to know and appreciate it every day visiting many of these attractions and then return to the quiet of 'home' The hotel offers a dock service for day trip to and from Capri and is connected all'autolinea "SITA" for getting to and from the centers of Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, Sorrento and many other places of the Sorrento-Amalfi Coast.
The market lanes of this charming town are a great place to lose yourself, there are lots of restaurants by the seaside promenade for a cozy bite to eat, and you can even watch the sun disappear into the Bay of Naples from the secret beach of Bagni della Regina Giovanna.
Must-see locations in Sorrento include the Church of St. Francesco, which has a beautiful cloister area attached to the side of the church, the stunning views across the bay to Naples and Vesuvius, as well as the otherworldly ruined mill at the Vallone dei Mulini.
Stay here if: You're looking for an energetic daytime atmosphere; you want to be right in the middle of the Amalfi Coast for easy travel to the other towns on the coast; you have many different travel preferences to satisfy; spending a lot of time on great beaches is a priority for you; you'd like some art, architecture, and history along with your beach time.
More Amalfi coast: Other unique sights in the Amalfi coast include Furore, with its amazing 30 meters high bridge over the water; Grotta dello Smeraldo, a beautiful grotto with stalactites which can be toured in the summer from Conca dei Marini; Bagnidella Regina Giovanna, a natural sea pool with crystal clear water amidst Roman ruins; and Vietri, the town of ceramics, colorful and lively.
From Sorrento, you can head take an afternoon trip to Nerano, a tucked-away beach at the western end of the Amalfi Coast that is usually packed with yachts in the summer months, but if you come, as we did, in early October you can just enjoy a quiet lunch and swim at Lo Scoglio —famous for, among other things, their zucchini pasta—and then take a dip at their private beach.
