Two Sundays ago I went for a wonderful walk from Scala to Atrani with two new friends from England that I met through Ciao Amalfi! who where staying in Atrani. Experienced walkers on the Amalfi Coast, they showed me a new pathway I hadn’t explored yet, and along the way we shared ...
Forza Amalfi!!
Today is a holiday here in Italy called La Festa della Repubblica, which celebrates the vote on June 2, 1946 that ended the Italian monarchy and established Italy as a republic. Many of you might remember from last year that the 2nd of June is also when the Regata Storica delle Repubbliche Marinare, ...
Out & About: Fishing for Spring
By all accounts this has been a bizarre spring. In fact, with all the rain and gloomy days I think I missed it completely. Just this past week the sun has come out bright and strong and I can feel the warm days of summer just around the corner. In the meantime, I’m enjoying this little bit of spring ...
Church bells & bird songs overlooking Amalfi
Last week I was out on one of my favorite walks down to Amalfi, and as I came around a corner I heard the noon church bells from the Duomo beginning to fill the valley. I bolted down a few flights of steps to get to this lovely viewpoint where you can see the campanile of the Duomo and hear the ...
Spreading the Love…
Thanks to the new Travel Inspirations Series here on Ciao Amalfi, I’ve had some of my favorite writers around the blogosphere stopping by and sharing some of the places around the world (and here in Italy, too!) that have inspired them. Keep watching in the coming weeks for some great new additions ...
Tempting Tuesday: A Walk in Pogerola
Up in the mountains above Amalfi is a little town called Pogerola. Saying “town” actually makes it sound too big. This is more like a village or a hamlet. Although it is high above Amalfi, Pogerola is technically speaking a part of Amalfi. Some of our favorite restaurants are in ...
Tempting Tuesday: Amalfi Coast End of Summer Blues
The sun is out and the weather has warmed up significantly since last week. These are the beautiful autumn days that I love, with the changing colors of the trees and grape vines glowing brilliantly in the sun. I’ve so enjoyed doing these color themed posts over this past month, and ...
Tempting Tuesday: Morning Boat Trip from Salerno to Amalfi
As much as I love being out on a boat and watching the sun set along the Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful times to see the Amalfi Coast from the sea is early in the morning. The sun is bright and strong this time of year, but the cool evening breezes have blown away the ...
Guest Post: An Amalfi Love Story
I am very pleased to be introducing my first guest writer here on Ciao Amalfi, and who better than my good friend and fellow travel writer Lisa Fantino from Wanderlust Women Travel. She has written for us a beautiful tale of love set in one of the loveliest places in the world. Her story resonates ...
Boat Procession for the Festival of Sant’Antonio in Amalfi
Just after the statue of Sant’Antonio was safely loaded on the boat and the priest and members of the religious procession had boarded, I heard a voice yell, “Dove le due ragazze?” My heart almost stopped. One of those two girls was me! A good friend had arranged for me and a ...
Out & About: A Small World Moment in Amalfi
This morning I arrived in the Piazza Duomo in Amalfi to find a group of American students assembling themselves on the steps of the church for a concert. Curious as I was to find out where this group had come from, I had only a short time to run some errands and get to the food shops before they ...
The Amalfi Duomo Webcam is Back!
Many thanks to my Mom who alerted me this morning that the Amalfi Piazza Duomo webcam is back online. Great news!! This is my favorite webcam on the Amalfi Coast, due in no small part to my love of the Duomo of Amalfi. (In fact, I wrote my masters thesis on that lovely facade you see up there.) ...
