The BEST Towns on Amalfi Coast

The BEST Towns on Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful 
shorelines in all of Italy. Towering cliffs, colorful villages clinging to the rock, 
and the endless blue of the Mediterranean   stretching out below. It’s a place that 
has captured the imagination of travelers for generations. And once you’re here, it’s 
easy to see why. For many, including myself, the journey begins with Positano, the famous town 
that has become the postcard image of this coast. And while it’s every bit as stunning as you 
imagine, the Amalfi Coast is more than just   one destination. So it does not have to end 
there. Our trip goes further. We are setting out to explore the quieter side of the Amalfi 
Coast, the quieter towns, the tucked-away paths, and the moments that still feel untouched by 
tourism. So we are leaving the crowds behind   and are discovering a side of the Amalfi Coast 
that few travelers ever see. Hi, I’m Rita and I travel the world sharing all my impressions and 
best recommendations with you. In my last video,   we explored Rome and its amazing food. But our 
Italy journey is just getting started. So, if you’d like to come along through Italy or beyond, 
don’t forget to hit subscribe. Starting the day to   explore the Amalfi Coast in the most perfect way. 
We have been staying in a place called Agerola, which is also known as the balcony of the Amalfi 
Coast, because we are actually super high up here, almost in the mountains, clouds around me, and 
it is the perfect start to the day with that environment. It has felt so local and cozy. We 
have been staying in a bed and breakfast where we have been served this morning homemade jam, 
some pastries, eggs. It’s absolutely perfect. And I feel like I have the right energy in me now 
to get down now to the Amalfi Coast with traffic ’cause that’s definitely going to happen here. 
I’m not sure yet how it’s going to be, but we   will explore all together. Let’s go. And we are 
going to be brave because we are commuting across the Amalfi Coast by car, which we hired in Rome, 
and commuted down here as well by car. I know it’s a risky one to do. There are multiple options of 
how you can get to the Amalfi Coast and how you can commute across the Amalfi Coast. We’re going 
to get to that later, but we chose the car option. The first stop of the day is of course going 
to be Positano, the image that we all have in our minds when we think about the Amalfi Coast. 
It’s going to be this rocky beach, the colorful buildings on top of the cliff. I cannot wait to 
see it with my own eyes. I’m so, so excited. And I think the way down now is equally going to be 
epic. So I’m not sad at all about any traffic   that I think we’re going to have for sure. On the 
way down, we passed through the city center of the little town of Agerola. We are not stopping here 
at this time, but even just driving through, you   can feel the local charm. It’s quiet, authentic, 
life unfolding at its own pace. For now, though, we keep heading further down the road. I think 
the way down is going to take way longer than I   thought. First vista point already. We stopped 
on the road, and it’s perfectly prepared here with a little bit of a site to look down at. It 
looks so pretty already. The water just naturally blends with the sky. I mean, the sky is not in the 
perfect weather conditions today, but it’s—it’s just stunning. You see the town on the bottom, 
the winding roads go like that alongside the cliff. Oh, it looks like an absolute dream. I have 
very high expectations for the further way down. So even when there’s not really a vista point, 
I can see people stop alongside the road because the views are spectacular. I am in such 
awe already everywhere. We take a turn. I am exploding with emotions. It’s so beautiful 
here. And we haven’t even reached the peak yet. Absolutely incredible. I can already see why 
it’s so popular just by driving down there. Now, the real dream was to rent a Fiat, of course, 
in Italy and drive these roads with a Fiat. It’s space-wise also a smarter decision, but of course, 
everyone wants to rent a Fiat when they’re in Italy. So, the Fiats were all rented out. They 
were not available anymore. And so, we have the   Audi, which is a bigger car, but hopefully we’ll 
be able to park it. Fingers crossed. We continued along the winding roads, each turn opening up new 
views. The path carried us right alongside the coastline, past small local shops and glimpses of 
the sea. Each one more inviting than the last one. And there it is, the very, very first glimpse of 
Positano from up here. We just stopped on the road to take a few pictures. I can confirm it looks 
amazing. Absolutely stunning. And it’s not even the best angle yet. We’re going to get down in 
a moment. But the view from up here— that’s the view. That—that is the view. I can’t believe it. 
It’s—it’s like a postcard. Now, the task is to find parking. And that is a difficult task because 
it is narrow. There’s very limited parking space. And it is already quite packed. So, because there 
are no public parking spaces here in Positano, there are only private parking spaces. And 
that means people can charge for the parking   as well. Anything from €10 an hour for a car 
or even higher and around €4 for a motorcycle per hour to park. And that is if you’re lucky to 
find some parking. Alternative to that is if you park a little bit higher. So, not down here 
in the city center. If you’re lucky, you can find cheaper parking or even free parking if you 
manage to park on a white line. But down here, I’m hoping we can even find any parking at this 
point. It is crazy packed. It was quite difficult, but we managed to find a private parking. 
It is €10 an hour. Really hurts in my heart, but from the looks of it, €10 an hour at 
this height is normal. Once you go down, it becomes €15 an hour. That hurts even more. 
And you have to leave the keys of the car in the car itself, so they are able to move the 
cars around and make space for more parkings,   which is a little bit scary to think about, to 
leave them there, but since everyone does it, it’s quite a normal thing to do here. So 
now we are finally ready to continue on. The good part is that by having searched 
for parking, we kind of already did a round around the city. So, I have an impression 
of what to expect. And while I was up here,   I saw that there are many cute alleyways. That’s 
the first thing I headed into because look at that. This literally feels like I’ve entered a 
different century of being in Italy. It feels so cozy and so traditional. It is this type of Amalfi 
Coast that went viral into the world. It is these little alleyways before everything else came and 
it’s—my heart is so happy right now. Honestly, Positano is known for being packed and it truly 
is. But before we even reach the busy heart of the town, we slipped into those pockets of narrow 
alleyways. And I really believe that experiencing   the quiet moment, just you and the authentic 
side of Positano is the best way to explore it, to feel its natural charm and original beauty 
before seeing what it has become today. But after a while, we moved on, passing rows of 
restaurants with outdoor seating. Along the way, little local shops lined the path, selling 
lemon souvenirs and light linen clothes that seem to capture the spirit of Positano and of 
Italy itself. The whole place just carried that unmistakable vibe. There’s a bus everywhere 
around. This is my color. This is literally   my most favorite color in the whole world. And 
it even has a little glitter shine. My dream vehicle right here. And it just fits again with 
the pastel colors from one cute vehicle straight up to the other. Look at this little red Fiat. 
It fits again perfectly into here. That’s the car you see everywhere here. But that’s like the dream 
Italian car, at least for me. But after some time on the main road, we found ourselves heading back 
down into the narrower paths. The crowds faded,   the noise softened, and once again, 
it felt like stepping into a quieter, more intimate side of Positano. Going down is not 
as hard as going up, but definitely if you are preparing to go to Italy, don’t miss out on the 
step machine in the gym. That’s definitely very   helpful here. Lots and lots and lots of stairs. 
And the sea is where we are aiming to get to next. And because it is built on a cliffside, the 
whole city here, you see these little pockets of sea-view beauty just appearing all around 
you. You don’t have to try to find them. They literally just appear everywhere. And I 
think that’s what makes this place so,   so special is being surrounded by the sea 
while walking in this super cute village. We headed so far down that we are almost 
at the beach but also next to the church, which we are going to head into as well in a 
moment. And there are so many lemon stores. I see so many people with some lemon gelato walking 
around. But here lemons aren’t just something you eat. They are everywhere on clothes, on ceramics, 
in decoration. It feels like the whole town is   painted in yellow. It’s a symbol of Positano 
that follows you at every turn. And look at that. All the ways lead up now to the church. So 
I guess that’s where we are heading to next. This   is the Church of Santa Maria Assunta. Its colorful 
dome instantly catches your eye and has become one of the symbols of Positano. The church has been 
standing here for centuries and inside it holds a   treasured icon of the Virgin Mary that locals have 
valued for generations. Which way is the entry? It’s locked. Oh no. Why is it locked?
Not sure why, but it’s locked. At least we can see through the windows 
here. Looks very, very pretty. Real quick, traveling is full of surprises, but 
staying connected to the apps I use on a daily basis doesn’t have to be one of them. I want to be 
sure that I can access them all the time, wherever   I am. That’s why I like to keep this app ready on 
my phone all the time. It takes away the hassle completely. With AI built in, it already finds the 
fastest, most stable server for you. So there is no tapping around, no guessing, no scrolling, just 
one tap and it all works and I can trust it. The app has gone through certifications like Google 
security reviews and Apple, so it has been fully vetted for safety. On top of that, your personal 
data is not being stored. So I can connect from anywhere in the world securely. And in order 
to connect to all the apps that I use and love,   this is exactly what I’m looking for. It is the 
safety and security of my personal data, knowing that it is not being shared and that the app is a 
safe place. It’s also super practical. I can grab a short plan when I only need it for a week or I 
can get a longer subscription for something more ongoing. And I can also switch between my laptop 
and my phone effortlessly because with one account it can work across multiple devices. That freedom 
makes it one of those apps I can rely on in different situations without overpaying or without 
committing to something I don’t really need. And that’s exactly why I would always suggest to keep 
this app on your phone and have it ready. And the   positive reputation really speaks for itself. 
Strong reviews and high app store rankings really show how much this app is used and loved by 
travelers and locals everywhere. And the best part is you can try out this app for free with a 1-day 
premium subscription. All you have to do is scan the QR code that you’re seeing on screen right now 
or check out the link in my description box down   below. But now, let’s get back to the video. 
Okay, heading on from the church now further down into this alleyway and it’s even more narrow.
Gosh, everything is so beautiful here. After all the walking, I have one goal and it’s very simple. 
Lunch. And I found just the right spot for it. So, we ended up getting a pizza slice that is €6 
for the Margherita pizza because everything around here is quite pricey. And having that, we 
can quickly move on again. But at the same time, we got a table around here with a view onto the 
beach. To be honest, this was of course not the best pizza you can find in Italy, but it was 
fresh and tasty. I also added something for   the sweet tooth and an espresso, of course. Okay, 
espresso shot later as well. Let’s head back out. It was really, really packed here. It’s a really 
good spot because they have really like good prices. Some of the things are overpriced, 
but some of the things are normally priced. And back into the small street. Let’s continue on 
exploring the little village here and the beach. Definitely heading straight up there. Have to 
look that I don’t die here. I’m always distracted. Tada. Made it to the beach. It looks like I’ve 
arrived now to a completely different city almost from where we have just climbed down from. The 
combination of all the things here is really the highlight of it all. And now I really feel like 
I’ve arrived to the Amalfi Coast. I’ve seen this beach so, so many times in pictures and in videos 
and I can’t quite believe that I’m here myself.   It’s very, very pretty. The sand itself is a black 
sand beach. In fact, if you go further down to the water, there will be full-on black rocks as well. 
It is way too cold to swim for me at least. There are lots of people already sunbathing here. And 
the beach itself is separated into different   chunks. One chunk is for public beach where you 
can go free of charge and all the rest is private beach where you can rent a sunbed or an umbrella. 
And equally there is a ferry terminal there that is quite scary. Lots and lots of people waiting 
for a ferry. Otherwise, there are many private   boats around here. And one thing that I’ve noticed 
as well is that all the boats move around, park, and it creates kind of a lot of waves, but not 
too many. It’s still a cute little beach to be at. Wow, there’s a restaurant and the bar is in the 
cliff—like it’s—they have literally the bottles inside the stone. Before planning to leave this 
area, we took in a few last views of Positano from every angle we could. The colors, the 
cliffs, the sea, all of it coming together   in that picture-perfect way. The side street. I 
wanted the lemon ice cream. It looks like that. There’s sorbet in a lemon. Kind of suitable for 
a place where lemons grow everywhere. But it is €10. And I think it is just a bit too much for a 
sorbet. It is kind of iconic and it is the thing maybe to try in this area. I’m pretty sure it 
will be very lemony and very good. But I think €10 for a sorbet. After all the good gelato we had in 
Rome, I think—I think it’s a no. I usually like to try all the food in every place, but this really 
felt like a tourist scam more than anything. And now it’s time to make the way back up. It’s going 
to be a lot of stairs, but a pretty path. Almost. So, remember when we were heading down, there were 
lots and lots of stairs down. And I think we went   kind of against the usual route. So we went up 
here, where many people go down here, and I think that’s perfect because we went down on the stairs 
and then up here we just climbed up a little hill   rather than climbing up all the stairs. So I feel 
very happy with that. And towards the end there are more and more shops selling all the lemony 
products from clothes to candles, souvenirs. It’s really nice to go through here and you can find 
so much nice stuff. I can’t get anything ’cause   it’s not going to fit in my luggage, but it’s 
definitely like really pretty items. Almost three hours later and €30 later for car parking, the 
car is back in one piece and we are back on the road. We are going to be heading back towards our 
bed and breakfast on the same route and stopping all along the way for the perfect views. There 
were also some small little villages that we saw   before. So, we’re going to stop in them as well.
And now we stopped at a little village that we passed by when we came earlier 
today. So, I’m excited to explore it.   It looks a little bit cuter, smaller, local. 
Quite a contrast to where we’ve been just now, where it has not been that empty at all.
Since we are in a more local village, I stopped in a little supermarket, got a few snacks. 
They also sell the local mozzarella cheese here   and lots of other cheeses. Going to get a little 
snack and then we’re going to sit by the fountain. Well, it’s not exactly the fountain like I’ve seen 
in Rome, but the view over there is spectacular. And look at all the fruits and veggies that they 
are selling in the shop. It looks so fresh and so flavorful. I can just see it from the looks of it. 
Okay, I got the most random combination of, uh, these rice crackers, but they also have some—uh, 
how do you call it in English? Corn, right? Corn and rice crackers and a kefir yogurt. I don’t 
have a spoon, so that’s going to be my spoon. Just crazy how this village feels so much more 
local than where we’ve been. People go for their shopping. They live here. They sit here.
Why not? I have noticed that in Italy there’s a huge love for kefir like that. It’s 
a fermented milk product. Very famous with the Eastern European culture, but I’ve never seen it 
that much, I guess, in Western Europe. Salt and here it is everywhere in drinks and yogurts 
and snacks. Literally everywhere. Nahumus. Can we take a moment to appreciate all the bus 
drivers of this region? Because how can you pass   with such a massive vehicle on these roads? And 
they always help the drivers as well. Tell them like take left, take right because everyone 
struggles to go reverse when the huge bus   comes. And there are lots of these buses here. So 
honestly, a lot of respect to the drivers. In the distance, I saw this beautiful church here. So 
I wanted to come up closer to it. Oh, it looks stunning. Really, really, really stunning from the 
outside. Oh, it’s open. I’ll go in in a moment. But look at the view from here. Whole platform 
around. That’s so nice. That’s definitely like a local spot to look at the Amalfi Coast ’cause 
there are like all the kids with their backpacks coming from school and driving around with their 
bicycle here. Feels like we found just the right   local spot. Oh, and the view. The view.
Oh, how beautiful. I am also completely alone in the church right 
now, and that definitely doesn’t happen in Italy. So I feel like we found absolutely the most 
beautiful local church and the most beautiful local location over here. Gosh, it’s stunning. 
The churches in Italy are—you enter and you feel such awe in you. It’s the architecture, 
the level of detail, like the history behind it. It fascinates you from all around and you 
just enter and you feel all of it at the same   time. Like this wow feeling— it overcomes me 
all the time in Italy when I enter churches. Has
been such a nice little local break here, sitting around, all 
the children playing, and now we are heading back   to the car. The parking time is almost expiring. 
The sun is setting in the background so the ride back should be really scenic as well. And then in 
our local village where our bed and breakfast is. We’re going to go later for dinner to such a good 
pizza place. We went there yesterday evening when we just arrived and it has been the enlightenment 
of my life. By far the best pizza I’ve had in Italy. It’s—I’m not kidding you. I—I loved this 
pizza. It was—it was a life-changing one. I think I praised it enough. I’m going to show you 
when we are there. But for now, let’s head back. The sun has already set. It’s already fully dark 
and we arrived to the pizza place where we were hoping to have a table tonight, but it is super 
duper packed. It’s also weekend and clearly a popular place. We got some takeaway pizzas though 
and I know they will be amazing. So, I didn’t want to have anything else or any other pizza in 
town. This is the one. Just waiting for it now. Okay. And let’s warm up the—oh, it smells 
so good. It was such a long waiting time, around 25 minutes, but it’s still worth it. I can 
smell it already through here. It’s so good. And it’s a yeast dough, not a sourdough, though. 
I asked him yesterday already. But it’s soft   like a cloud. And all the ingredients are super 
fresh and, um, local, so they taste amazing. Now we just have to find a spot where we can 
stand without disturbing anyone. So nice. Okay. The moment of pizza. Tada. Oh my goodness. Look 
at it. Get it. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tada. Best part is coming 
now. The first bite. Oh, it is really hot. M. So good. The flavor is just perfection, 
pure because of the ingredients. It’s just so delicious. Oh my god. And the dough is absolutely 
perfect. If you’re staying in this region, come to this pizza place. And if you’re not 
staying in this region, still come to this   pizza place. A perfect ending to a perfect day. 
Good morning. It is day two and we are ready to start the day with a hike. It is called the 
Path of the Gods and it is a very famous hike   in this area. There are lots of people already 
in full hiking gear. I am so, so in hiking gear, but the path is supposed to be quite easy with 
walking down mainly until we reach a section   with like a thousand stairs. But once we get to 
that we will see how we manage that. For now, we have arrived to Agerola, Bomerano. We are staying 
in Agerola as well. So, we just took the car up to this public parking place where we’re going 
to park the car all day because after the hike, we are actually going to be taking a ferry to 
Amalfi Town. That should be so, so fun. Let’s head now to start the hike. Before we head to the 
path now, we are stopping in Agerola city center to stock up on some bananas. And the city center 
itself is so cute. There are many cute little coffee shops around, little shops in general. It 
just looks like a cute little town, and hiking stores as well. I definitely don’t have that 
full outfit, but I hope it will still be okay. Okay, leaving now the town of Agerola 
and heading where everyone is heading, which is down here. It says we need 4 hours 
hiking time to Positano, but our bed and breakfast host said it will be less than that 
because at some point we can also catch the   bus. We’ll see what happens. Worst case it takes 
4 hours or best case it takes 4 hours. We’ll see. The views are already getting really, really 
pretty. We are on top of the cliffs. I can see the boats passing by. And it is known as the 
Path of the Gods because legend says that the gods were walking on this path and looking down 
on people. And it was so otherworldly beautiful that they chose this path exactly to walk on. 
So now we are walking here and it is really beautiful already and we haven’t even reached 
anything too spectacular yet. The trail stretches high above the Amalfi Coast with views that feel 
almost unreal. Every step along the narrow path opens up to sweeping cliffs, tiny villages in the 
distance, and the endless blue of the sea below. And sometimes it’s these views that 
speak more than a thousand words could. Wow. So the opposite side of where we just had 
to stop. Look at that view. Just the open water. That looks insane. Oh. Oh wow. That looks so 
beautiful. I’m sorry for my little duck walk here. I don’t want to drop inside. It’s quite 
slippery, the stairs. This section. Oh, wow. That is so beautiful. I can absolutely 
confirm the view on that side and then on that side, which is completely different but equally 
amazing. That is the most beautiful hike in the whole world. It really is. Where on earth do 
you have views like that just during a hike   rather than taking a helicopter or staying in 
some accommodation on a mountain? Like this is amazing. It’s really beautiful. It feels also 
so peaceful. I think peaceful is a word that really describes it well. Like although there are 
quite a few people walking around here as well,   the peacefulness of being so high up and 
seeing everything from the distance so well and just the boats passing by 
and the waves like barely moving. I smell—I smell something 
really fresh like lemons. Hello. Look at the size of the lemons here. That’s the 
size of my full head. Look at the lemon. That’s crazy. Oh, it’s so cute here. They sell like fresh 
juices. And this scent of fresh juice carried through the air, reaching me before I even got 
close. So, can you imagine how fresh and flavorful it must be? We kept moving further along the 
path. Everything here is clearly marked and easy to follow. And the trail itself stays gentle the 
whole way. Even children walk it without trouble.   The only thing to keep in mind is the height. 
Looking down at how far above the sea you really are can be a little nerve-wracking if you’re not 
comfortable with heights. I think we have reached now the second half of the hike that is leading us 
towards the end. And in this part you definitely have a little bit more shadow and these covered 
paths like here with the trees all around. But   the nice part is really that you always come 
to a turn or a corner where then—bam—you see the view again and it’s always a little bit of 
a different view as well. And after some time we reached the highest point of the hike and then the 
trail led us into a small village along the way. The village is absolutely adorable. It looks like 
it has been here forever. There are a couple of restaurants around here as well. And the view 
from here of course spectacular as well. But   we are heading to Positano. And for that there 
are two ways. Number one: stairs. Number two is a bus. Stairs is around more than a thousand 
stairs down. And then a little bit of a walk to the town as well, or the bus. But the bus doesn’t 
come that frequently. Debating which one to take, but I think the stairs are the safer option to 
arrive without having to wait for the bus for too long, I guess. But before making that choice, 
I had already found just the right little place to pause. An adorable coffee house, perfect for 
a break. Oh, that looks so cute over there. Found a little bar. No, I have to see it.
This is unbelievable. People live here and they made this coffee house. But this view 
that they have, excuse me, can I move in, please? And the coffee. Really beautiful. Yes. 
Espresso, Americano, caffè. Espresso. Americano. Dro. Okay. So, one lungo, one Americano. Yeah. 
Yeah. You want to sit? I think—yeah. Because the sun very hot. Okay. Thank you. I think if you 
like the sun at our table. Oh, perfect. Thank you. Thank you very much. This is the best view to sit 
with a coffee here. Oh my god, this is amazing. All caffeinated up. This was such a nice 
little stop and they are super duper nice   inside. It’s called Villa Sofia. It’s also a 
bed and breakfast and a coffee house run by a family. Really cute. But now it’s really time 
to head to the stairs. We have decided and to Positano. So back left and then thousand 
steps down. Can do it. Feel refreshed. The walk down is somehow one of my favorite 
parts of today so far because it is so lush and green. It almost feels like I’m walking 
through a botanical garden. I have lemon trees,   olive trees, cactuses all around me, colorful 
flowers everywhere. It’s really impressive. Now the path is actually directly on the road 
with the cars and my legs are full-on shaking at this point. Today is a full-on workout day 
almost. If you take it slow, it’s all okay. You   don’t feel it in like separate chunks, but 
you do feel it in the muscles at the end. 10 minutes to the ferry and we’ve been running 
through Positano to make it. It’s a little bit difficult ’cause there are so many crowds, 
but I hope we’re still catching it. Can see the water already. Almost there. 
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh, there are so many people on the port. 
Well, we have a ticket. Hopefully, we’re still going to make it. So, the big 
ferry plan was to commute now to Amalfi by ferry ride because you need to see the Amalfi 
Coast from a water perspective. And there’s, I guess, a public ferry. Of course, you 
can take smaller jets and stuff like that,   but this is like the big, big boat that takes you 
over to Amalfi. And I’m very excited for that, but there are so many people that I’m actually a 
little bit scared of how it will be on the boat.   We bought the tickets online on the same day for 
today. But alternatively, there are also ticket booths on here and there are different companies 
as well. We went with the Travelmar company and it was €20 for two people. Made it onto the boat.
We even managed to find some seats on the top floor. So excited to see Amalfi Coast from the 
water. That should be really, really amazing. The amount of houses that are built 
onto the cliffside, it’s quite a sight.   Really architecturally impressive how it’s built 
on top of each other in a way where everyone still gets that view onto the sea. And we can see 
equally all the houses being stacked up on top of each other. And as we drive, we just see always a 
new cliffside appearing, new buildings appearing. 25 minutes later, we made it to Amalfi Town 
and it looks already quite cute. But we’re going to be heading off the boat now to explore 
the town a little bit. But the town is actually   a starting point for many small villages 
around Amalfi Town, which we’re going to be visiting tomorrow. For now though, let’s head 
out of the boat, make a quick round around here. Off the boat. But the only thing I feel 
at the moment is such a pain in my legs. I think I walk a little bit like a turtle at the 
moment, barely moving. And when we see stairs,   we are walking around them. It’s a painful 
memory at this point. That’s the turtle walk. Very slow, but secretly nobody knows.
Oh, wow. There is such a beautiful church here. Looks absolutely incredible. Has like gold 
elements, green elements in it. I didn’t know what to expect from Amalfi Town, but it looks 
really, really cute and has kind of a very local charm. There’s laundry hanging around, many flats 
that you can see straight up from the city center, and then this church. And of course, many 
restaurants, gelato places, and gelato is a good idea. I feel like that’s what’s going to 
help my legs. Amalfi Town has a charm on its own. It’s bigger and busier than the little villages 
along the coast with narrow streets that twist   and open into small squares. There are shops 
selling local specialties, cafes spilling out into the sidewalks, and the sound of the sea never 
too far away. It’s a place that feels alive yet still holds on to its old coastal character. You 
could probably spend at least half a day exploring Amalfi Town, but for us for today, it’s time to 
head back. Let’s do this. Getting into the bus now. Back home. Back to our bed and breakfast. And 
our bed and breakfast host has warned us that it’s going to be wild. So, I’m ready. Gosh, there’s so 
many people. But we had at least ice cream. So, we are equipped with whatever has to come. 
Backed up because we had no tickets. Tickets   are sold actually on the street. It was just a 
guy sitting with a jacket selling the tickets, but I don’t think we are going to make him. And 
this is the bus situation currently. I’m still hopeful. We made it onto the bus and we even got 
a seat. All we had to do is wait for two buses. Three. So, this is the third one that arrived and 
a few more should come soon. But now we are on the   way. It’s around I think an hour ride. Right. 
45 minutes. 45 minutes and then we have the car parked up and then we’re going to reach the bed 
and breakfast. But have a seat, have a window. So,   it’s going to be a nice ride from now on. And 
people are still entering. It’s going to be fast. Made it. Feeling just a little bit nauseous 
after all the turns we’ve taken. But we are back in Bomerano, where we started this morning. 
So I’m going to pick up the car and then head to the bed and breakfast. Started to feel my legs as 
well after all the walking today. So quite tired. I think tonight is going to be such a good night’s 
sleep and tomorrow is going to be another full day of exploring the Amalfi Town area and other towns 
in the area. But for today, we still have to get some dinner here in town. There are a couple of 
restaurants in the city, but we decided to go for a new pizza place. It has a huge oven. Where 
is it? There. Right behind me for the pizza. That is a good indication that it’s going to be a good 
one. And as I’m sitting right here, I just checked   the steps count for today. And it has been 21,459
steps. That’s definitely a lot of steps. So, those carbs are very much welcomed tonight. 
However, it wasn’t the best pizza. The other one that we had yesterday is significantly 
better. Nevertheless, it’s time to go to bed. Good morning. It’s another beautiful 
day in Italy. Yesterday evening,   I went straight to bed and slept like a baby. 
But the day started with such a cute little breakfast in our bed and breakfast again. We 
had some eggs, some local pastries and cheeses. It just—it’s when the day starts in this homey 
vibe in our cute little town, which just feels the most local place in whole of Italy. It sets 
the tone for the day straight. And we continue that further on because we have arrived to a town 
called Ravello. It sits a little bit higher than Amalfi Town. So we are going to be focusing on 
that part of the coast today. The views from here are spectacular. We are so high up and the view 
is just absolutely amazing. You have the curves of the cliffs, the buildings on top of them, the sea, 
the ships, the beaches—like everything, everything is here. But the town of Ravello is actually 
kind of a cute little town. It feels very local, kind of hidden away from the masses of tourists. 
So it doesn’t feel like chaotic like Amalfi Town, for example. It just feels like hidden away on 
the top of the mountains which just happened to   be discovered by tourists. And now you can walk 
around this little alleyway through the little shops, have some gelato, have some coffee, visit 
beautiful churches. All of the Italian view that I have in my mind when I think of Italy is kind of 
represented right here. And in a moment, I’m going to be heading up to what is said to be one of the 
most beautiful spots in Italy. Let’s get there. They have the cutest lemon-themed 
decorations all around town here,   but we’ve seen that already in other places as 
well. But one thing that I just saw I haven’t seen somewhere else is this spaghetti measurer. 
Basically, there are three holes, one to three. And it means for the amount of people. So you 
can take your spaghetti, put it inside and then   you know what is the right amount because who 
knows what is the right amount of spaghettis. The moment has come of walking downwards after we 
walked upwards and it’s not difficult at all. What after yesterday’s—what was it? 1,300 stairs. 
I feel like every stair is just—every string of every muscle hurts. Maybe I will walk on this 
side. You know, less like stair movement. Still getting down somehow. Oh. Oh, a lizard. A lizard. 
Oh my god. Look at him. Hello. Y. Wow. Wow. There are so many lizards around here. Just shows 
like how nature-y this place is. Despite—like you think you’re in such a touristic place and then 
there are lizards everywhere. Lemons growing   everywhere. Look how many big, big lemons there 
are around here. In fact, in this area there’s also like a lemon path that connects two towns 
to each other. And it’s supposed to have surprise lemons. But let’s see if we’ll get there. Oh, but 
you—you see them everywhere already. The lemons around here. Look at that. We have, it seems 
like, arrived to where we have been heading,   which is called Villa Cimbrone, if I’m 
saying that right. So let’s head in. I hope we can all enter and get tickets if we 
need tickets. I’m not even sure about that. Indeed, there was a ticket to buy on entry. It is 
€10 per person during the summer months period. And once you enter, you already see the wow effect 
literally everywhere around you. The garden looks so beautiful. There are like colorful flowers 
everywhere. Lots of green. And the architecture itself of the garden gives you all these like 
historical vibes around the arches, the ways, the paths and everything covered in flowers all 
around you. It’s quite a sight. Villa Cimbrone is a historic villa in Ravello. Originally built 
in the 11th century, but later transformed in the early 1900s into the garden estate we see today. 
It’s most famous for its gardens, which are open to the public and filled with sculptures, shaded 
walkways, and colorful flowers. The highlight is   the Terrace of Infinity, a viewpoint looking out 
over cliffs that drop straight into the sea. It’s considered one of the most breathtaking panoramas 
on the Amalfi Coast, and it’s easy to see why. This view from here is incredible, especially 
combined with the botanical garden that we just passed through or park. The combination of both 
is out of this world. Each of them alone is out of this world, but the combination of both. 
This is really a place where the views and what we see speak more than a thousand words 
could describe it. It’s absolute perfection. That has been absolutely breathtaking. But it’s 
time to head on to the next site already. So, off we go. Back to Ravello, back to the 
car, and then to another little town. I have arrived already to the next town that I’m 
about to explore, and it is called Minori from   Ravello. It has been roughly a 20–25 minute 
drive but quite a scenic drive next to the cliffs and the coastline. It felt like a car 
edge, to be honest. Super duper scenic. Now, alternative to that is you can actually walk to 
Minori from Ravello or take public transport, and then you also can walk to another town nearby 
here and then take a bus back to Amalfi or take a bus back from here. There’s a lot of public 
transport around, but because we have a car,   we are using that to commute and have the most 
scenic drives ever. Now about Minori, it is a super compact local town. It gives you a little 
bit of a view into the local life of this area. I’ve seen already laundry hanging around. The 
beach is right here and people are sunbathing. You see people just like strolling by and going about 
their day. And I’m going to be heading into the   town center now to find a very, very good pastry 
shop. At least that’s what it said online. So, I’m curious to try their lemony desserts. But 
first, let’s explore the town a little more. I feel like local is not even a word that 
describes Minori well. It just feels so raw and real and without trying to be something 
that’s not for tourism. It’s just this cute little town where people go about their day and 
it happens to be in the middle of everything, but people are not bothered by it. And I love 
these types of places ’cause you get like a   feeling for the real Amalfi. And that’s what I’m 
talking about right there. When I say local life in Minori, we are literally standing next to 
a first-century Roman villa and then there’s   this lovely Italian grandma just hanging her 
laundry on top of all of that. That’s what I love about this town. It’s just so cute.
And the pastry shop that I want to get to is just 2 minutes’ walk from the Roman 
villa. So, I’m heading there right now. I found a pastry shop, but it seems to be a 
full-on restaurant with a very long queue, of course. That’s how good it is, I guess. So, I 
wonder if I can get any takeaway or if I need to   be seated. Turns out they have both options. 
Managed to get a table even. And even in this nice—I guess half open, half closed—section. We 
can still see the beach from here. There was also outside seating and there’s also full-on inside 
seating. But the menu is already here. I have an idea what I want based on my research. But still 
going to check what else they have ’cause everyone   is eating such delicious-looking desserts around 
here. Oh. Oh, it’s a very big, big menu. Oh wow. I didn’t expect that. It’s very big. So I asked 
the waiter for his recommendation and he brought me straight inside. Oh, is it the best? The best 
in ricotta is the best. Okay. Gracias. Despite the many, many delicious dessert options, I chose the 
one that the waiter recommended and that everyone around me seemed to be having as well. Dessert 
has—oh, it’s so light. It’s called Delizia al Limone. Finally, a lemon dessert for the Amalfi 
region. The time has come. And an espresso I got. Okay, I need to get straight in. Ooh, it’s very 
creamy. And it’s a sponge cake inside. M. Wow, it’s so light. The cream is almost like 
air consistency. And it has a very gentle but really nice lemon touch. The sponge is 
absolutely sponging. It’s so nice and soft. It’s like eating a cloud. It feels so innocent, 
you know? It feels like you’re eating nothing, like air, but it’s so delicious. So, 
the calories don’t count as well. A dessert later, it’s time to head on to the 
next town of today. It’s a bit of town hopping   today. And the next one is called Maiori. It’s 
kind of the big brother of Minori. And it is roughly 20 minutes by car away, equally on the 
coastline. So, should be a nice ride. Let’s go. Maiori is a cute little town. Do you have to come 
here? Probably you don’t have to, but if you’re around the area, might as well just stop and have 
a look at this town as well. But when it comes to uniqueness, I think the town that we visited first 
today was definitely the highlight of the day for me. If you do want to stay at a beach though, 
I think Maiori is the top spot to come to by   far. It has the longest and the biggest beach that 
I’ve seen around here. Afterwards, on our way back to the bed and breakfast we are staying at, we 
stopped at a local restaurant called Leonardo’s.   The dinner has been really good here and, for a 
change, not a pizza, but the restaurant itself has a beautiful panorama viewpoint. So coming 
here for lunch is definitely a good idea as   well. We left Agerola and made our way to another 
well-known spot along the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento. Here we settled into a cute little Airbnb before 
heading out to explore. We started by the seaside where local fishermen worked by the docks and 
restaurants lined the water’s edge. Sorrento   immediately felt lively, a bit like Positano, 
full of tourists, souvenir shops, and that relaxed holiday vibe. But at the same time, it carried 
a touch of authentic Italian seaside life that blended beautifully into it all. After soaking 
in the waterfront, we continued on into the city center. The main street stretches along, filled 
with shopping options of all kinds. In between, you find colorful side streets, small boutique 
stores, and traditional shops that have been part   of the town for generations. Wandering through 
Sorrento was another experience full of charm. Both busy and atmospheric, yet easy to enjoy.
The Amalfi Coast is more than its famous postcards. It’s in the quiet villages, 
the winding trails, the hiking paths,   the scent of lemons drifting through the air, 
and the endless sea views that stay with you long after you’ve left. This trip reminded me 
that sometimes the most unforgettable moments   aren’t where everyone else is looking, but just a 
little further down the path that you and I just started exploring. Our Italy journey is not over 
yet, and in the next video, we are heading to an island that looks like Positano, but feels 
very different. See you in the next one.

Join me on a road trip travel adventure along Italy’s Amalfi Coast! Starting in famous Positano, I explore further to discover the authentic charm of Amalfi Town, Minori, Maiori, Ravello, Agerola, and Sorrento.
This video goes beyond the crowds to capture stunning views, local culture, and the everyday beauty of the Amalfi Coast. If you’re planning a trip to Positano or anywhere along the coast, I hope that this video will inspire you to see more than the typical tourist spots.
