Sights to see

In Amalfi and Sorrento Coast area there is really quite a lot to do and see. Amalfi and its Cathedral, the charming Positano, Sorrento and its charateristic old town, the wonderful island of Capri, Ischia and Procida, the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the churches of Praiano, Ravello with its amazing views and its famous music festival, the cities of Salerno and Naples, the small but beautiful villages of Cetara and Minori, the large beach of Maiori, Vietri and its famous ceramics. Also, close by, don’t miss to visit Paestum (about 1 hour and half driving from Amalfi Coast), whose Greek temples are one of the greatest archeological sites in the world, and the Royal place of Caserta (two hours driving away from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast), the pride of all the magnificent works and constructions by which the Bourbon dynasty adorned and modernized the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Last but not least, the Cilento National Park (two hours driving from Amalfi) and its lovely seaside villages, located few miles off the usual tourists' routes of Amalfi and Sorrento areas, where you will find an enchanting mix of culture, art, nature and folklore. I will introduce each tourist spot mentioned above in the next posts, as well as the best way to get there both by car and by public transportation.
