The incredible Amalfi Coast drive is Southern Italy's most popular excursion, and the twisting corniche road from Sorrento to Salerno attracts millions of tourists every year. Positano, the most vertically scenic of the villages along the coast, dates back to the 10th Century AD and was once an important seaport for the Middle East trade. Splendid Rosario, one of the Amalfi coast's scenic views.
In more recent times, Positano has made the transition from artists' colony to upscale resort to Hollywood movie set.
Positano, a mirage of houses, between sky and sea. A dream of colors, boats, yellow. " Yellow Positano ", like the cupola of the church mother, like the ginestre, and the flowers of the fichi of India. Blue, like the sky through Pertuso Mount. Green, emerald, like the sea, and the svettanti towers. White man, like the houses, lowlands, to cupola, bizantine. Finally Ocher, like it he decorates with arabesques to you embroiderys of the woven ones. " when understood to discover it to you, the impulse is to hold it secret, single for you... " (Steinbeck)
Capri is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Here art and beauty are married. Hush and meditation, dipped in its beautiful nature, and sea and sun... or romantic nights.
Twenty miles from Naples, rising abruptly out of the azure gulf, is the little island of Capri, its shape something like a gigantic hour glass. It seems to exercise a peculiar fascination on all visitors to Naples, and few can withstand the temptation of braving the not always pacific Bay of Naples, in order to visit the island which has inspired so many pens. The special characteristic of the Capri climate is the softness andmildness of the atmosphere. Without being actually relaxing, it is not so stimulating as the Riviera climate. It is also very equable, and there is no unwholesome chill at sunset, as in the former place, or even at Naples, only twenty miles off.
The romantic Amalfi Coast highway has breathtaking scenery. There are too many wonderful places to take in on one vacation.
