Tempting Tuesday: Piazzetta di Pontone
Two weeks ago I promised to show you what was around this beautiful little corner in Pontone. Surely one of the rarely visited cities on the Amalfi Coast, the little town of Pontone has some excellent restaurants, a peaceful little Piazzetta, and wonderful views. Just a few steps down and around the corner you see above, you pass by a little bar called Blu Bar before entering the Piazzetta di Pontone. In the picturesque little square you will find tables arranged for the Blu Bar where you can sit and enjoy a cool drink, the church of San Giovanni Battista, a little fountain, and a terrace with a spectacular vista. For this week’s Tempting Tuesday, I have a series of photos to show you one of my favorite stopping places on the walk from Scala to Amalfi.
Church of San Giovanni Battista
Blu Bar
Perfect stop for resting during a hike on a hot summer day.

Pontone and surrounding mountains
Spectacular view of Amalfi from PontoneThere is so much to discover in each little town on the Amalfi Coast. For me, Pontone is a peaceful little respite from the crowds of the more popular cities during these busy summer months. It is a perfect spot to get away, have a nice lunch or dinner, and get a taste of the true peace and quiet of life up in the mountains on the Amalfi Coast. I hope you enjoyed this relaxing visit to Pontone for today’s Tempting Tuesday!
PS: The feast of San Giovanni Battista is coming up soon on June 24th!
