Sarah Thompson, the founder of Luxama Travel, shares her personal experiences and expert knowledge as we traverse the legendary 'Strata Statale 163 Amalfitana' on Italy's Amalfi Coast, a cliff side route famed for breathtaking views and exhilarating challenges. 

Discover the charm of this coastal paradise, where the art of "dolce far niente," or the sweetness of doing nothing, is celebrated in every sun-drenched alley and lemon-scented breeze along the Amalfi Coast drive. From Sorrento's picturesque paths to the serene natural beauty of the Jerontal reserve, Sarah invites us to experience the magic of this iconic location.

We also uncover the hidden treasures of the Amalfi Coast's charming towns, from the delectable anchovies of Chitara to Vietre Sul Mare's vibrant ceramics. Our journey culminates in Salerno, the bustling city that blends history with modern allure. As Sarah recounts cherished memories of scooter rides and floating in the Mediterranean, she inspires us to pause, disconnect, and embrace the beauty. Whether you're planning a visit or simply dreaming of Italian landscapes, this episode transports you to one of the world's most enchanting destinations.
