The"Amalfi
drive" is said to be the most spectacular in Europe
and from Sorrento, the winding cliff top road offers
breathtaking panoramic views at every turn.
Each spot is
a world of its own, a fantastic world which dazzles the
imagination and inspires unforgettable impressions.
We make a stop in Positano, yet an another splendid
jewels of this coastline, which boasts pictoresque pink
and white villas perched dramatically on the steep
hillside.
Then on to Amalfi, which gives the na+me to
the whole coast on which it lies. Once a thriving Marine
Republic, powerful and prosperous and now thriving
holiday resort.
The unmistakeable cluster of white tightly paked houses
rising up the hillside is dominated by the beautiful St.
Andrew' s Cathedral which stands superbly on the top of
a great flight of steps leading up from the main square.
From Amalfi we visit Ravello which nestles eleven
hundred feet above the sea in mountainside. You can
visit the Villa Rufolo which gave the musician Richard
Wagner the inspiration to create some of his most famous
works.
As a result of this, the garden of the Villa are
the venue for the Wagner Festival which takes place each
summer.
