The breathtaking and gorgeous (not words I use lightly)
terrain/views surpass the French Riviera, Spain's Costa Brava
and Morocco's virginal coast - which is why almost every city,
monument and structure here has been classified a World Heritage
Sight by UNESCO.
My selection of bright and inspiring spots includes:
Le Torre di Normanni, my new favorite lunch-time
restaurant, which occupies the top floor of a weathered
medieval tower just outside Maiori.
Amalfi's Piazza Duomo where I arrived at the end of a long
hiking day to take this snapshot while holding a gigantic
multi-flavored (banana, lemon and strawberry) ice cream cone in my
right hand. The extraordinary thing about gelato after an
eight-hour walk is that it is an absolute
dietary/physical/spiritual/mental necessity.
Lovely mosaic maps that prominently feature the area's
seductive sirens.
The delight of arriving in vertiginous villages like
Positano.
The view back towards Positano that illustrates the type of
terrain that I MedTrekked on the Amalfi Coast/Cliffs.
