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.

Great little garden connected with the Duomo. Great for looking at old frescoes and original mosaics. And bell tower, of course. Amazing.

In the Piazza de Duomo in Amalfi you see the steps leading up to the Amalfi Cathedral (Cattedrale Di Sant Andrea) dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew . If you feel fit enough to walk up the steps ( and there are many) it is well worth a visit. The structure dates back to the 9th century and has been changed/ enhanced over many centuries. Reportedly the remains of StAndrew were brought to the Cathedral in the 13th Century. It is a beautiful space and the crypt houses many artifacts. A word of advice is that many school groups visit the cathedral on a daily basis so it might be worth timing your visit for early morning or late afternoon when it is quieter.

If you see nothing else here in Salerno, you must visit the Crypt of the Cathedral. This magnificent space opens up at the base of stairs from the main Cathedral and is truly breathtaking, All the walls are of inlaid marble with a ceiling of beautiful paintings. There is an altar to San Matteo who is the patron saint of Salerno surrounded by more beauty, The workmanshp in this special place is truly amazing. On this trip we have visited many museums and cathedrals....this is by far the most beautiful.

This was a real surprise on my hike of the path of the Gods from Praiano. Can't believ how old the old Chapel is, and the view from the terrace is breathtaking! At the convent do stop with Dominic and Lili (his little dog) for a quick refreshment before your onward ascent.

We visited the Basilica of Santa Trofimena in Minori with our friends the DellaMura family, It is a very beautiful Church, with a lovely statue of Santa Trofimena. It is well worth a visit for prayers and quiet reflection.
