    Advantages Advantages Spectacular coastline, with attractive towns and good walking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A tourist trap, albeit a superior one

    Updating my review of Inntravel, as I have just done, reminds me of the Amalfi Coast. Or, more specifically, of a walking holiday that my wife and I took there a few years ago, organised by that company, which may serve as an example both of their holidays and of the attractions of the area itself. It is not a destination we would normally have chosen for walking, an activity best enjoyed in mountain areas far from the madding crowd. The Amalfi Coast, although commendably hilly, is populous and has been a holiday resort since Roman times. On this occasion, though, business and family ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic sea and mountain views.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You need nerves of steel to drive here!

    Scenic drive along the Amalfi coast. The drive along the Amalfi coast is perhaps one of the most stunning drives in the world driving along roads built into the sides of the cliffs that drop steeply into the sea hundreds of feet below you. It is certainly not a drive for those who are fainthearted as the drive involves hairpin bends twisting and turning along the coast road. Where is the Amalfi coast? South of Naples stretching from the Sorrentine peninsular the road continues south to reach the plains of Salerno passing towns and villages built into the steep mountains that drop hundreds of ... more

    Advantages Advantages The most beautiful place in the world?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You're going to have to wade through this novel to find out why

    Once upon a time I was very much in love with an Italian, who was very bad for me. He was nearly twice my age, didn't work but raced and wrote about Italian cars. He lived in England but visited Italy often. One spring he needed to go over to Italy to retrieve some money from a small Italian bank that was refusing / ignoring requests to transfer funds to the UK. He invited me to come with him and tour the Amalfi coast at the same time. We flew to Naples (you can fly BA, Alitalia, Lufthansa, Swissair, Iberia, AirFrance, BMI, Easyjet - the list is endless) and picked up a hire car. If you do the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Breathtakingly beautiful.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The road is not one for the feint of heart

    THE AMALFI COAST One of my most memorable holidays was the two weeks I spent in the Bay of Naples. We fitted so much in to the 14 days we were there, it was an incredible holiday. We visited the fantastic Pompeii ( a must do experience worthy of a review of its own), we climbed to the top of Vesuvius, we visited Herculaneum, Capri, Sorrento, Naples and had an incredible couch journey around the Amalfi Coast. It is the Amalfi Coast that I am going to write this review about because it really is a spectacular part of the world - absolutley stunning, in fact the Amalfi Coast is listed by UNESCO ... more

    Advantages Advantages stunning scenery, very relaxing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages many hotels built on hilly ground

    Using Sorrento as a base for exploring one of the most beautiful parts of Europe my partner and I spent two weeks touring this area of Italy. We stayed in a 4* hotel with a view over the bay of Naples with spectacular Vesuvius in the background. The general standard of hotel accommodation looked good with plenty of choice. There were plenty of places to eat, for a snack to a 5 course meal to suit all budgets. Plenty of organised trips if you wanted, from exploring Capri to the wonders of volcanic preservation! The coastline in parts was breathtaking and definitely not for the faint hearted ... more
