A SCENIC BASE FOR TOURING ITALY'S ANKLE
2004
Overview
The Amalfi Coast, in the Campania region, the ankle of Italy's famous boot, stretches 43 miles from Sorrento on the Bay of Naples to Salerno on a gulf bearing its name. With a Greco-Roman heritage dating to 1000 BC, about 250 years before the founding of Rome, this stretch of shoreline abounds in rugged natural beauty and picturesque cliffside villages, with dwellings in shades of spice, sky, and sea, amid fragrant expanses of olive groves and lemon trees. Sorrento is an ideal scenic base from which to rest, relax, and explore. Another day trip from Sorrento worth making is Herculaneum. Said to have been founded by Hercules himself, this archeological site is about a 50-minute drive from Marina Piccola in Sorrento. Positano is one of several villages near Sorrento renowned for their charm. Home of American author John Steinbeck in the 1950s, it is a 40-minute drive south from Sorrento along high winding roads overlooking the sea. Once in \"downtown\" Positano, follow a stone lane down toward the water that is lined with tiny boutiques selling touristy junk, art, and fine linen. At the bottom of the lane are several cafes and restaurants and the public beach. Like many Italian beaches on this coast, it is pebbly but the water is pure, clean, and a beautiful aquamarine.
