My Italy Top Tips, Issue #001 -- Beyond Amalfi September 28, 2018 |
![]() Today we go beyond Amalfi, to the nearby Cilento. Once a part of Ancient Greece, it is now one of the loveliest corners of Italy. It is from here that the real "Mediterranean Diet" originates. Eat well, live long and live well is the ethos. It's not only food either. There's the gorgeous scenery. Locals joke that the scenic beauty makes you cry on arrival and cry buckets more when you have to leave. They are right. Many who visit never tear themselves away.
Paestum![]() Lost in thick forest for millennia, it was only rediscovered a few centuries ago. The many temples are the best preserved anywhere - better even than the Acropolis. It also played an important part in World War 2 and there are buffalo nearby who'll provide you with an amazing lunch. Here's more. Castellabate![]() Over the next few days I lost my heart entirely to this little town. That's why I really implore you too discover the secrets of Castellabate for yourself. Acciaroli - Life Lived Well & Forever![]() Here you'll often meet a group of school friends, all over 90, out for an evening walk or sipping a glass of wine at a local bar. Chat to the guy working on the town gardens and you'll discover he's nearly 90 too. In such a beautiful little town who wouldn't want to live forever? We've a video and some amazing facts for you on the website. Enjoy your weekend. Ciao
