Amalfi Coast: Know This First

Visit during off-season (spring) for fewer crowds and a more relaxed experience.

The Amalfi Coast is easily accessible from Rome or Naples (1–2 hours), making it convenient to include in your itinerary.

Getting around:

• Rent a car for flexibility

• Ride a Vespa for the experience

• Use the SITA bus for budget-friendly travel between towns; sit on the LEFT side (when heading to Amalfi) & on the RIGHT side (when leaving Amalfi) → best coastal views (oh, and expect delays...)

The coastal road is narrow, winding, and scenic; plan extra time for drives and stops.

Hike the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods):

• Best route: Agerola (Bomerano) → Nocelle (downhill)

• Access via SITA bus from Amalfi

• Expect stunning panoramic views throughout

If visiting in early spring:

• Trails can be muddy and slippery

• Wear proper hiking shoes

What to take home:

• Limoncino

• Pasta al limone

• Sundried tomato

• Artisanal hand-colored ceramics/plates or cups
