Italy’s Amalfi Coast

A cool breeze off the gorgeous blue water, a sip of local limoncello, delicious Italian cuisine, and one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world … nothing compares to Italy’s Amalfi Coast! 😍

We stayed in Ravello, an adorable town with lots of ceramic shops. The limoncello is wonderful, the food is amazing, and the Lemon Tour was very cool. These are some of the best lemons in the world, and they use them for everything. 🍋

Naples is lovely. We visited the seafood and produce market, the royal palace, the world’s oldest opera house, and the Catacombs of San Gennaro.

Pompeii and Herculaneum, both of which were destroyed by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., were very interesting. The excavation work and preserved artwork are amazing, and the magnificent active volcano still towers over both cities.

We found the most amazing Lemon Delight in Minori (Thank you to Stanley Tucci’s “Searching for Italy” for the recommendation)!

We toured an olive grove in Tremonti with a wonderful family who welcomed us with open arms, fed us, entertained us, and hated to see us go. ❣️

Positano is so charming! We wandered through all the lovely shops and tasted the local wines.

We toured Tenuta Vannulo in Salerno, where some of the best mozzarella cheese is made, and the lunch they served was amazing. We even got to meet the water buffalo! 🐃

Our visit to the ancient ruins of Paestum, which was built by the Greeks and modified by the Romans, was wonderful. Such beautiful temples!

And, I left a piece of my heart in beautiful Capri. ❣️
