What to do in amalfi town for a day

One of the world's most famous roads, the Amalfi Drive (aka SS163) is also arguably the most beautiful 48 kilometers of coastline in Italy, and certainly high on the list of Italy's top tourist attractions.

Carved into cliffs that are already cut by deep ravines, the road clings high above the Tyrrhenian Sea in a series of breathtaking views and curves bounded by almost vertical mountains rising on one side and long vertical drops on the other.

You don't need to drive it yourself, and unless you're used to Italian roads, you probably shouldn't. One thing is sure: if you do drive, you won't see much of the scenery.

It's no place to take your eyes off the road, even for a second, and there are very few places to stop.

The alternatives are a tour, the bus, or the ferry. The latter two stop in towns, so you can get off, look around, go for a swim, have a coffee or lunch, and get back on a later one.

SITA buses run frequently, although not always on schedule,
