1. Where to stay ? Many dream of Positano and staying at a hotel there. Know this !
The Hotels in Positano are super expensive. If you can afford it ? Wonderful. If not, stay
in Sorrento, Salerno, Minori, or another town in the area suitable for you.
I started going to Positano in 1985, when it was much more affordable, and far less popular
and crowded.
2. Research how to get there, and determine which is best for you.
3. Best Photo spots ? Everywhere !!!
4 . Things tot do ? The best in most popular thing to do, is just hanging out. Go to the beach, have lunch, and a "Must Do" is Apertivo after you are done at the beach, or whatever you did that day
5. What to Eat ? The # 1 Best dish to eat while on the Amalfi Coast is Spaghetti Vongole (Clam Sauce), it's an absolute must have, and eat it more than once. Pizza and Gelato of course are some of the best local things to eat. You must get Sfogliatelle, the Clam Shaped Looking Pastry that was invented by Nuns in a Monastery on The Amalfi Coast.
Pizza was invented in Naples, which most everyone knows is the Pizza Capital of the World. And this carries onto the Amalfi Coast, where just about every place that has Pizza, makes some of the best Pizza in the World. And if you have the time, take a day trip to Naples to hit a couple famed Pizzeriasm, eat Sfogliatelle, Spaghetti, and the Best Espresso Coffee in the World. We recommend Caffe Gambrinus, a beautiful, elegant, old-world Caffe near the Piazza Plebiscite, Napoli.
On The Amalfi Coast, Andrea Panda Pasticceria next to the Cathedral, is one of Italy's best, and my favourite Pastry Shop on the coast.
6. Hiking The Path of The Gods is a Favorite Activity on The Amalfi Coast.
7. Take a scenic boat ride of the Amalfi Coast or Capri. We highly recommend taking a full day boat trip to Capri, or if you have the time, what would be even better, and what I always do, is stay on the Island of Capri (hotels)for one or two days.
8. Many Love taking a Vespa Tour of the Coast. It's so fun, and one of the best ways to explore the Amalfi Coast, seeing the towns of Positano, Amalfi, Minori, and Ravello. Just riding one of these scooters on the famed Amalfi Drive is a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime-experience that just about everyone loves. We highly recommend doing it. "So much Fun." !
9. If you are so include, list The Ancient Roman Ruins of Pompeii.
10. Go to Naples for the day. If you are staying in Salerno? Go to the train station, and hop on the next train to Napoli. It takes just 45 minutes, station to station. Eat Pizza, walk around, Eat Pizza or Spaghetti Vongole, Seafood Salad, or Clams Posillipo, and make sure to have a Sfogliatell Pastry or tasty Gelato for dessert.
Two favourite things to do, are taking a Pizza Making Class or Naples Street Food Tour.
