The airconditioned
chauffeured vehicle of your choice will meet you at
the pier of Naples. The driver will give you a commentary
of the sites
you pass and drive you to the town of Positano 'the gem of
the divine coast' .
Visit the old city centre that has remained untouched by development,
shop
in the boutiques that line the narrow streets and admire the
colourful houses.
Bordered by green mountains and the sea, it is the only town
in the world
with a panoramic view of 360°
After a walk and a drink, drive along the picturesque roads
that wind uphill,
to Ravello.
Built 350 metres above the sea on a ridge projecting from
the mountain, it has,
needless to say, spectacular views ! Unspoilt by tourism,
it is famous for it's
villas and ancient monuments. The Villa Rufolo is the site
of classical concerts
during the summer.
If you have chosen to go to Amalfi rather than Positano, then
you are
going to paradise !
.
White houses on rocks, narrow streets, ancient towers, picturesque
cliffs rising from the sea,
a gentle climate and excellent food ! In the words of Renato
Fucini:
'When people from Amalfi go to paradise, it will be just another
ordinary day for them!'
Founded by Roman families from Ravenna during the reign of
The Emperor Constantine, it was originally called Melphe.
The 10th Century church of San Francesco stands at the entrance
of the town.
within the town there is the Fontana del Popolo, the Benedictine
Monastery,
the 9th Century Cathedral of St. Andrew , with it's baroque
interior,
and the Paper Museum.
