| The Amalfi Coast, also known as the gold coast of Italy, is fifty mountainous miles overlooking the serenity of the Mediterranean. The mountains are dotted with bright, picturesque houses that seem to defy gravity. Locals take advantage of the warm sun to dry clothes and grow lemons the size of an American football, which are used in Italy's favorite sweet liquor, limoncello.
Whether by tourist bus, boat, car, or most popularly, scooter, motoring along the beautiful coastline is only half of the adventure. Winding, sharp and narrow, HAIRPIN curves will leave an experienced driver exhausted. However, the breathtaking views make the risk worthwhile. Faced with towering buses, you may be compelled to hug the side of the road and hope that the oversized tourist bus doesn't send you careening over the mountain's edge. Positano is a popular destination among tourists. Legend proclaims it was created by the God of the Sea, Poseidon. Whether created by Greek God or man, this town is worth the effort required to navigate several narrow roads before arriving. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors are often found strolling along the coastline, soaking in the breathtaking views, shopping at high-end boutiques, or indulging in the exquisite southern Italian cuisine. Enjoying a chilled shot of limoncello is a popular way to conclude the day's activities.
