Amalfi Coast Tour 9/13/2022

We take a tour today to the Amalfi Coast! Our guide, Mauro, met us and fourteen others at the train station. We begin with a One and a half hour train ride to Salerno, then catch the ferry to Amalfi.

View from the ferry

Amalfi is a beautiful small town built up the hill from the coast line. It was a major shipping and trading port in the 10th and 11th century. Now growing lemons and tourism are the main source of income.

Climbing the stairs to the terraced lemon grove

The highlight of our time their was a visit to a lemon farm and tasting the limoncello. We climbed many stairs to get there! The view and setting were amazing!

We leave Amalfi taking the ferry to Positano. Positano is the iconic city on the Amalfi coast. It was packed with tourists! it was an enjoyable time wandering the streets (you are either walking up or down!

It was an enjoyable day.

    Isn’t it breathtakingly beautiful there? My cousin Annie and her husband Dave are in Positano now, staying for several days. Maybe you saw them and did not realize it. They also stayed in Ravello which is so picturesque, balanced on a cliff above the sea. We hope to return someday, but perhaps later in the fall or early spring.
    I doubt there is an “off season” anymore. You would think September would not be that crowded.
