A Bird’s-Eye View of the Cilento Coast

Located just across the Bay of Salerno from the Amalfi Coast is another spectacular coastline called the Cilento. Much more off the beaten path, there’s a tranquility here that we love sharing with our clients on a Cilento Coast cruise. Here’s where you can truly get away from it all while swimming in crystal clear water and exploring caves and grottoes along the way. Recently, our captain Carmine captured some dramatically beautiful drone images of one of the Cilento Coast’s most iconic spots – the Isola Licosa.

The Best Amalfi Coast Summer Festivals

With long, warm days and plenty of fun events to choose from, summer is a wonderful time to visit the Amalfi Coast! For music lovers, there’s also a host of shows to choose from in Ravello – the City of Music.

The Amalfi Coast is a magical place anytime of the day.

This is the perfect setting for pure romance!

Don’t Miss the Cilento Coast – Amalfi’s Quiet Neighbor

The Cilento Coast in Southern Italy is still largely off of the tourist radar, boasting picturesque small towns, rolling hills of vineyards and olive trees, and gorgeous beaches. Located across the Bay of Salerno from its more popular neighbor the Amalfi Coast, the Cilento is a stunning coastline with beautiful beaches and tons of incredible grottoes to discover. It is also located quite close to Paestum, home to some of the best-preserved Greek temples, and also the finest buffalo mozzarella in the country … and arguably the world!

Easter Traditions on the Amalfi Coast

Easter, called Pasqua in Italian, is not only one of the biggest holidays in Italy, but it’s also the official launch of the season on the Amalfi Coast. It’s a wonderful time to travel on the Amalfi Coast, since you get to enjoy the arrival of spring in Italy and experience for yourself some of the cultural, religious, and culinary traditions of Pasqua. Let us share with you some of the highlights of Easter on the Amalfi Coast!

Traditional Neapolitan Pastiera Recipe for Easter

The Easter season is here on the Amalfi Coast, and with it comes the arrival of one of the sweet treats associated with this holiday in the Naples area – the Pastiera! This is a traditional dessert eaten for Pasqua (Easter) that is made with cook wheat, ricotta cheese, eggs, candied orange and cedro pieces, and scented orange blossom water. It has ancient origins in Naples, where it may even date back to pagan celebrations for the arrival of spring. While the invention of the pasteria is surrounded in myths, the tart as we know it today was likely created in a convent in Naples. Similar to the story of how the Sfogliatella Santa Rosa was created at the convent in Conca dei Marini on the Amalfi Coast. From mythical beginnings to modern day enjoyment, the Pastiera is a fixture at the Easter table on the Amalfi Coast!
