Positano & Capri, Italy

Overly pushy hosts and flashy menus near main squares are often signs of lower quality. A short walk into quieter streets usually leads to better, more authentic food.

Sync With Italian Time

Meals here run on a different schedule than you might be used to.

  • Lunch: 12:30–3:00 PM

  • Dinner: from 7:30 PM

Tip: Don’t fight it—late dinners are part of the Amalfi lifestyle.

The secret to enjoying the Amalfi Coast? Slow down and structure your day like a local.

  • Morning: explore and sightsee

  • Afternoon: relax, eat, escape the heat

  • Evening: aperitivo with a view

  • Night: long dinners and strolls

✹ Focus on the Feeling, Not the Checklist

The Amalfi Coast isn’t about rushing to see everything—it’s about soaking it all in.

Tip: Do less, stay longer, and fully enjoy each moment.

🍋 Bring Home Local Flavours

Skip generic souvenirs and take a piece of the Amalfi Coast home with you.

What to buy:

  • Limoncello

  • Lemon-infused products

  • Sun-dried tomatoes
