This was a bus tour that drove all along the scenic road known as Almafi Coast. We stopped along the way at a couple of scenic spots and then spent a few hours in the town of Vietri Sul Mare. There we had lunch and got to try the famous lemon delight, a well known pastry desert celebrated by locals and travelers coming through here.
Our tour guide was great and the beauty of this area cannot be overstated. The local restaurants and shops were unique, artistic and friendly. These photos don’t serve this beauty justice, but here they are nonetheless. This area is one of those places that could only be experienced to truly justify it’s charm.

“Amalfi’s period of prosperity changed drastically in the 14th century when the town succumbed to the plague in 1306 and 1348. The trading economy was all but ruined during a devastating sea storm in 1343 that destroyed the port, sailing ships and much of the town. Amalfi’s days as a major maritime Republic were over, and the town came under the rule of the nearby Kingdom of Naples in the late 14th century.”

“Lacking military and trading influence, the town slowly returned to a sleepy fishing village. By the 19th century travellers from throughout Europe began to rediscover the history and beauty of the Naples area on the Grand Tour. The wild and seemingly untouched beauty of the Amalfi Coast spoke to the romantic spirit of these travellers, who found inspiration in the scenes of daily life, the evocative architecture and natural landscape. Writers, poets, musicians and painters arriving on the Amalfi Coast were stunned by its natural beauty. The American poet Henry Longfellow arrived in 1869 and later wrote a poem entitled “Amalfi” (1875) inspired by his time in the small fishing village.”

“The Amalfi Coast remained isolated geographically until the 19th century when Ferdinand II, the Bourbon King of Naples, commissioned the construction of a road connecting the villages dotting the coastline. The Amalfi Coast road reached Amalfi by the middle of the century, and this provided the access that today allows countless tourists each year to experience the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.”
