Day 5: Amalfi
We joined a guided tour and settled in for a long scenic bus ride through the winding high cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our first stop was the beautiful, picturesque town of Sorrento. We spent some time at Piazza Tasso and the narrow alleys that surround it which is a host to numerous eateries. Local gelato and Limoncello – a liqueur – are a must-try here.

Next stop was the equally picturesque town of Positano which was an important medieval port which has been a popular tourist destination since the 1950s.

From here, we proceeded to Amalfi which used to be an independent republic in the 6th century and an important trading hub. The white houses of Amalfi connected to each other by stairways look beautiful and have been the backdrop for many Hollywood movies. After lunch in an open restaurant overlooking the sea, it was time to head back.
