Amalfi Coast- Isle of Capri- Sorrento

Amalfi Coast- Italian Riviera

It feels a little foolish to combine all of the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Sorrento into one blog post, but at least it represents the kind of whistle-stop experience that we had of each of these amazing places.

The Equinox docked in Salerno, Amalfi Coast


We began the tour on a boat ride down the Amalfi Coast. This area is absolutely stunning, and part of the Italian Riveria. The towns of Amalfi and Positano, among others could be seen nestled within the gorgeous coastline.

On arrival at the Isle of Capri, the views were already gorgeous, with rugged cliffs and colourful buildings down to the azure blue water.







We caught a cable car up to the town of Capri and walked to the other side to capture a couple of iconic pictures, where I bumped into a good-looking tour escort. I took a photo of him and he took one of me.




MASSIVE lemons- nearly the size of my head




Sorrento from the sea
















On returning to the boat, we continued along the bay of Napoli towards Sorrento. The town oozed charm and a lot of Limón cello. As well as being a beautiful city, it is most famous for being the home of Limón cello, and I was able to sample some after a delicious lunch here. The time there was really limited, so maybe we will make it back later in life J
