    The itinerary

    The itinerary

    The places we shall visit on this route are, too well known to need an introduction, Rome, Naples, and the Amalfi coast, touching so much ancient and modern history as to go back to mythical times with the cave of the witch Circe.

    The Amalfi Coast

    Map Description automatically generated

    Amalfi Coast

    The most accessible access to the Amalfi Coast is from Salerno, easily reachable by car on the "autostrada" (highway) A3 and by train, including high-speed service from the North - Naples, Rome, and beyond. It takes around half an hour to go from Naples to Salerno using the high-speed train.

    Two train companies provide the service on the same tracks and take the same time to get there, but they compete on service and price: Trenitalia is the state-owned company that competes with the privately owned NTV. Check the schedules and prices online at http://trenitalia.com for Trenitalia and http://italotreno.it for the NTV company.

    Salerno

    Salerno

    SALERNO. An ancient town, probably founded by the Etruscans, Salerno became a Roman colony and was later under Byzantine, Longobardi, and Norman rule.

    From the latter period dates the superb Cathedral, whose original Romanesque style is still preserved in the beautiful Atrium surrounded by 28 Roman columns.

    We enter the church through a magnificent bronze Door (1099) that leads into the central nave, where two 12th century Pulpits are decorated with mosaics, the Tomb of Margherita di Durazzo, and the mosaics in the Chapel of Pope Gregory VII.

    The Cathedral Museum contains excellent paintings and a rich Treasury, including the famous 12th century Altar-frontal carved in ivory.

    Where to eat in Salerno

    Restaurants in Salerno

    La botte pazza Vicolo Giovanni Ruggi 3 | piazza Portanova, +39 329 292 9013. Small, informal, and cozy restaurant, with five tables on the ground floor and a few tables on the floor above. A little hard to find, but well worth the experience. The chef comes to the table to explain the menu and to take your order. The free local house wine on tap is appreciated, as is the appetizer fried vegetables to tempt your taste buds while waiting for your main meals.

    Botteghelle 65 Via Botteghelle 65, +39 089 232 992. This is the place to eat and drink locally produced meats, cheeses, wines, bread, desserts, and aperitifs. It can take a while to locate, but it's worth it! This isn't a 'classic' restaurant; they don't serve pasta, etc., just the meats and cheese you see in the cabinet.

    L'Unico Largo San Giorgio, 14 (Via Duomo), +39 089 296 2671. Outstanding seafood, friendly staff, not touristic, good quality/price ratio - a must-go! The chalkboard sign full of fish dishes is all written in Italian, but it doesn't matter; the staff comes to your table and explains every dish they make and how they make it.

    Il Maestro Del Gusto Vicolo Piantanova 7 | Near Chiesa Del S. Crocefisso, +39 333 910 2296. This is an excellent restaurant with a genuinely thoughtful and delicious menu and delightful service. Fresh ingredients that are uniquely prepared. If you are a 'foodie,' you will appreciate the details of the meal.

    Osteria del Taglio Vicolo Ruggi d'Aragona 10, +39 089 924 3333. This is a modern but very charming Italian restaurant in the old town. Osteria del Taglio is unlike many of the rustic settings at which you can we have dined. It is newly renovated.
