The Amalfi Coast summons the essence of Mediterranean summers with its lemons

🇮🇹: Italy 🗺️【Itinerary】 Amalfi Coast: Amalfi➠Positano➠Sorrento 📍【Coordinates】 🍋: (Costiera Amalfitana) Located on a stretch of coastline in southern Italy. Known for its rugged terrain, picturesque scenery, and the uniqueness and diversity of its towns, it has been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is also named as one of the '51 places to go in a lifetime' by National Geographic magazine. 🍋: Amalfi (Amalfi) A small town in the Gulf of Amalfi, it is the origin of the name of the Amalfi Coast and is known locally as the 'Pearl of the Mediterranean'. The town, filled with the scent of lemons, is a famous honeymoon destination. 🍋: Positano Legend has it that pirates stole a statue of the Virgin Mary from Byzantium and, while passing through this area, encountered sudden changes in weather with storms and heard the statue repeatedly saying 'Put me down'. To avoid divine retribution, the pirates placed the statue on the nearest coast, which is how Positano got its name, derived from the Virgin's words 'put down', and hence it is also known as 'the land chosen by God'. Here, there are colorful towns nestled like jewels on the slopes of the cliffs and the Mediterranean scenery with the fragrance of lemons. Many celebrities such as Picasso, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and the Prince of Naples have lingered here and even built homes. Therefore, many luxurious villas designed by famous designers are scattered throughout the rolling hills. 🍋: Sorrento (Sorrento) Located on the north coast of the Sorrento Peninsula, built on the cliffs, facing the Bay of Naples, it is known as the 'Jewel of the Bay of Naples'. 🏨【Accommodation】 Sorrento B&B: Sorrento is a must-pass for those traveling from Naples to the Amalfi Coast and also has a port for Capri Island. Compared to other towns, the prices are more cost-effective. We stayed in Sorrento for our two-day seaside trip. 🚗【Transport】 Self-driving: The coastal route along the Amalfi Coast is quite narrow and many sections are next to seaside cliffs, which is a real test of the driver's skills and the determination not to be distracted by bikinis on the beach. Once again, thanks to the two veteran drivers who were responsible for driving during this trip to Italy! (For those who do not self-drive, there is also public transportation available) 📝【Tips】 ①: The UV rays are strong by the sea, remember to apply sunscreen. ②: There are many pebbles by the sea, and there are many slopes to walk up and down in the towns, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. ③: Recommended food: Pizza (Naples is the birthplace of pizza), lemon delicacies (lemon drinks, candies, Gelato, etc., all worth a try), seafood pasta, etc. ④: Related movies 'Under the Tuscan Sun', 'Miracle Moments: Italy Amalfi' and others
