Amalfi, Italy is a gorgeous little town in the province of Salerno. It’s an UNESCO world heritage site and if you like driving, it’s definitely a route you have to drive at least once 🙂

These mirrors are invaluable around countless blind corners. You get used to spotting traffic and passing motorcycles in them.

Town of Amalfi?

There were areas where we had to line up for traffic. But it wasn’t all that common. Depended on the day really.

There are a few places where you can pull over for a photo or two.

The Amalfi coast is known for quality ceramics which they sell to tourists. Cermic tile in patterns adorn church domes.

And in some places they chiseled through the cliffs 🙂

There are lots of areas where cement supports the larger structures and some of the road around the trickier bends.

Traffic is rather interesting. And can be a nightmare due to tourists mainly. You really have to adapt and go with the flow. The locals know what they’re doing.

This is a typical road on the Amalfi coast.. very very windy and so much fun to drive along.

Because htere’s not a lot of space, cemetaries can be found clicking to the vertical rock faces, each with candles or lights in them.

This is a street in Sorrento, not far from Naples.

This is one of the largest beaches on the Amalfi coast.

The Amalfi coast is situated on the Sorrentine Peninsula, steep cliffs plunge into the ocean here.
