ON THE ROAD TO AMALFI | AMALFI DRIVE TO HOTEL LUNA |
The day begins in Sorrento and the night falls on Amalfi, but in-between is the beautiful Amalfi Drive that passes over the villages and towns with ocean vistas to gaze upon. One town that is now over touristed is Positano, that sits in the middle between Sorrento and Amalfi. Beautiful and built on a steep mountain-side, there are many steps to descend or climb, and too many people, so it's on to Amalfi and more level walking.
The road is very scenic but it does have many curves that wind about following the slope of the mountain. Arriving in Amalfi, we head to the Hotel Luna Convento perched above the Amalfi Drive, just east of the main part of town. The town of Amalfi is filled with many shops and restaurants and a pleasant fountain in the town square. The main Cathedral is a magnificent structure in the center of town reached by massive stairs. A side trip just up the mountain a little bit and you are rewarded with the small town of Ravello. In all, the three main stops on the Amalfi Drive for tourists are Positano, Amalfi, and Revello. |
