Have You Ever Been to Olympus?
A popular Italian belief says that Gods live on the Amalfitana Coast. We remember “What?”, the beautiful Roman Polanski movie, that was set in Sofia Loren‘s villa, not far from Amalfi. In that setting occur surreal situations and the sun and the sea do the rest. If you are lucky enough to spend a few days in Amalfi, you have to try Zaccaria, a small restaurant suspended on a stone balcony. It is located near Atrani, and instead of giving you a menu the waiter will ask how hungry you are. The fish arrives early in the morning from the boats which have spent their night at sea. The view is breathtaking and the white wine will help you to reach ecstasy.
Walking is the best thing to do here. It’s also the best way to see the most hidden and unknown places. Over the mountains you can find vineyards, cheese makers, the old paper mills. Further down, however, there are the lemon gardens, fragrant and tasty. You must try Limoncello, lemon liqueur, or coffee with lemon, they are delicious. It’s true, in this piece of coast there are really all the ingredients to live a heavenly life.
