Hey guys, we're still travelling, but will be back soon! In the meantime, we've got a fun and quirky little mini-series for you tackling the TOP questions that we receive from new clients over on the ItalyWithBella.com side of the equation.
Here are a few of the questions we try to address in this first episode:
The Amalfi Coast, located on the southern shores of the Sorrentine Peninsula, is a wildly popular and highly sought after tourist destination.
Amalfi's sister towns of Praiano and Positano are equally impressive... but are they worth all the hype, time, and expense it takes to get there? While there are good reasons they've achieved world renown, these small idyllic towns can get overrun in the heavier tourist seasons. Positano alone can see up to 3,000 tourists per day, which is almost the size of the town's population.
So, what should you do? On today's show, we're going to tell you what to do and not to do, how to avoid the seasonal traps, and get the most out of your next visit.
