Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Amalfi Coast, Campania

May 21, 2022 Toi Mattera

Stretching along the southern side of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast dazzles with its mysterious grottos, craggy cliffs and shimmering bays. Grab a seat on the sea side of a regional bus to soak up views on the fabled route from artsy Positano to Amalfi. Ravello offers some respite from the crowds, plus the stunning Villa Cimbrone, which overlooks the Bay of Salerno. The historic section of Sorrento has winding streets filled with craftspeople. Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.

Il Sentiero Degli Dei

Reviewed By moot1 - Bristol, United Kingdom

I've wanted to do this walk for years ,and finally I got the chance. I was not disappointed. We were blessed with beautiful sunny February weather. It takes a fair bit of travelling from Sorrento, but the walk was actually easier and quicker than I'd thought. We walked the route from Nocelle back towards Positano. We used the sunflower guide which I highly recommend. We took the higher route - where the path goes off to the right by a house with a cross in the garden - the signage takes you to the lower route at this point, but apparently the higher route is more spectacular which makes sense, and it was certainly very lovely! The cafe at the end of the route is basic but has a beautiful view too so a good place to stop off before doing the steps down to the road, which was definitely the more tiring bit of the walk. We caught the bus back to Sorrento from a stop at the bottom of the steps rather than in Positano.

Amalfi Musical

Every Wednesday and Saturday at 9pm, AMALFI MUSICAL tells a story set in ninth century about the rise of first Republic of Amalfi. Through the story of Antonio and Giovanna's love, thwarted by perfidious city's persecutor Sicardo, the show tells the story of Amalfi's liberation from bloodthirsty Lombard supremacy. The performance is in Italian language with surtitles in English and other languages. Reservation required.

I was wandering around the Amalfi Duomo on a Saturday and this info booth just caught my eyes with musical flyers (I'm kind of a musical fan). The lady in charge of the booth told me the show was fully booked for the night but I could come at 9pm as stand-by and probably some no-shows would turn up, and I did get a spot! I didn't even realize it was a free show until they gave me my ticket! A free musical performance provided on the Amalfi coast is indeed "epic" and thoughtful for people to get to know a bit of the history of the place in a theatric way. The music and the singing are quite good (I actually cried over some of the songs), and the tension of the acting is quite intense as well. The atmosphere is quite unique thanks to the venue that's over a millennium-old. It reminds me a bit of the new French version of Romeo & Juliet for those who have seen it, which I am a big fan of. For me personally it's absolutely an overachieving event to stumble on :)

Live a truly unique Italian experience!

We toured the vineyard in the evening, followed by an incredible dinner. My group of 4, including an 18 year old, was joined by a group of 6 and we mixed really well. That was due in large part to Alphonso, our tour guide/leader for the evening. We had a very interesting tour of the facility and the wine making process, then a lovely early evening stroll through the vineyard. We arrived at the house on the hill for dinner and were blown away at the view...incredible. Dinner was copious and delicious, served with a selection of the wines produced on site. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and billed the evening as a highlight of our trip.

Ceramiche Casola

Reviewed By Curious316020

We were staying in Priano duting summer of 2019 and were driving by Ceramiche Casola factory every day. We finally decided to take a look and could not resist from buying one of the beautiful tables from them. The hardest part was to choose the design as they were all so absolutely beautiful and unique. It took 6 montha and it finally came last week. We could not be happer!!! It by far exceeded our expectations! I want to spend every minute in the kitchen now admiring our new beautiful table and remembering our great time on the unforgetable Amalfi Coast.
