Amalfi Coast

View from our apartment

After Pompeii we drove to the Amalfi Coast. I don't mind driving in another country and most of the time the roads are as good or better than in the states. This drive stressed me out. The road to the coast and along the coast is narrow and winding. You also have full size buses coming at you on hairpin turns. The coast is beautiful but maybe getting there another way would have been better.

Once we got to our destination of Atrani and I was able to relax and it was worth the drive. The Amalfi Coast is beautiful with towns dotted up and down that go all the way down to the water. Atrani is one of the smaller towns and very charming. It has a nice beach and a town square with many cafes.

We stayed again in an Airbnb and had a great experience. Our host met us at one of the cafes and walked us up to the apartment. The apartment had a great view but to get that view you had to walk about 280 steps to get to the front door. Because of that we left the suitcases in the car and only brought up what we needed. We had a private terrace that looked down on the town and the coast, very beautiful. We sat on the terrace and drank wine and grappa while enjoying the view.

Atrani doesn't have much parking and you can't park in the town overnight. However, between Atrani and Amalfi there is a parking garage dug into the rock with plenty of parking.
