Sorrento: The Gateway to the Amalfi Coast

Sorrento, often referred to as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, is a picturesque town perched on cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples. Known for its lemon groves, limoncello liqueur, and stunning sea views, Sorrento is a fantastic starting point for exploring the region. Make Sorrento your home base and stay at the Grand Hotel Capodimonte.

Things to do in Sorrento:

• Piazza Tasso: This bustling square is the heart of Sorrento, surrounded by charming cafes and shops. It's an ideal place to start your Sorrento adventure.
• Lemon Tours: Don't miss the opportunity to take a lemon tour, where you can learn about Sorrento's famous lemons and even sample limoncello.
• Marina Grande: This small fishing village is a short walk from the town center and offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely meal by the sea.
• Eat Italian: 86 Bistro Home Garden
• Capri: A short ferry ride from Sorrento takes you to the glamorous island paradise Capri, known for its upscale resorts, stunning landscapes, and celebrity sightings. Capri is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Amalfi Coast.

Things to do in Capri:

• Boat Tour: Take a boat tour for the best experience. Many boat tours provide snacks and drinks and allow visitors to jump off the front into the Mediterranean!
• Blue Grotto: This natural sea cave is famous for its dazzling blue waters, thanks to the sunlight passing through an underwater cavity. A boat tour is a must to appreciate its beauty fully.
• Anacapri: The quieter, more tranquil part of the island. Take the chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro for panoramic views.
• Capri Town: Stroll through the charming streets, shop for high-end fashion and unique boutiques, and enjoy delicious Italian cuisine at the island's numerous restaurants.
• Capri Funicular Railway: Take the train/trolley car up the mountain.
• Taste the Lemon Drink: Get a famous giant alcoholic or virgin lemon drink.
• Check out the Views: Go to the many scenic overlooks for incredible views and picture ops!
• Visit the Charterhouse of St. Giacomo, a monastery built in 1371.
• Visit the Roman Palace, Villa Jovis: Built by emperor Tiberius and completed in 27 CE. Tiberius ruled mainly from Villa Jovis until his death in 37 CE.

Positano: A Vertical Village

Positano is the quintessential Amalfi Coast village, known for its pastel-colored buildings tumbling down the cliffs to the sea. It's often considered one of the most romantic and picturesque spots on the coast.

Things to do in Positano:

• Spiaggia Grande: This main beach in Positano is a great place to soak up the sun and swim in the crystal-clear waters.
• Path of the Gods: Hike along this scenic trail for breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding cliffs.
• Shopping: Positano is famous for its fashion, especially its linen clothing and handmade sandals.

Pisa: A Day Trip from the Coast

While Pisa is not part of the Amalfi Coast, it's a popular day trip destination for travelers staying in the region. Known for its iconic Leaning Tower, Pisa offers a unique cultural experience.

Things to do in Pisa:

• Leaning Tower of Pisa: Visit the Field of Miracles to see the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the Baptistery.
• Piazza dei Cavalieri: Explore this historic square and its impressive buildings, including the Palazzo della Carovana.
• Pisa's Cuisine: Don't leave without trying some local Tuscan dishes, such as ribollita (vegetable soup) and pappa al pomodoro (tomato and bread soup).

Amalfi Itself 

• See the Duomo di Amalfi, where Saint Andrew's bones are buried.
• See the green Grotto.

A Day trip to Pompeii

Pompeii is always very crowded and too vast to see everything in a short period of time. Take a tour that includes a hike to Mount Vesuvius, an easy hike with stunning views.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap an eventful week in golf that included: Rory McIlroy finishing birdie-birdie to beat the hometown favorite Bobby Mac at the Scottish Open, Scottie Scheffler's insane streak continuing, Smylie playing twilight golf at North Berwick with Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, Smylie trying to figure out how to drive in the UK, and a Senate hearing for PGA Tour leadership.

In the previous two episodes, we talked to you about everything that went wrong just trying to get to Italy. This episode is about our Italy experience and our itinerary.  

Italy was a great experience for all of us. It's somewhere we would love to go back again. Our itinerary was planned by a travel designer, Brianna Glen (remember episode 105). She also planned our Greece trip and does an amazing job for us.

And that's our first tip for you. Having someone take care of your itinerary is always a good choice if you want a stress-free trip.

One thing about travel is about experiencing new cultures and learning new things. But often, we find ourselves looking for the comfort of familiarity even while traveling. You have to remind yourself that you are there to experience new things and be comfortable with unfamiliarity.

Listen in for more tips for those looking to travel to Italy and some cool places you can visit!

Steve Perillo, a third-generation owner of America's biggest tour company to Italy, figures he's traveled there over a hundred times. Steve brings expertise and humor as he and Lea share glorious travel memories from Milan to Sicily, and offer a charming overview of this blessed travel destination.  What's not to love?

-- Steve talks about Adam Sandler playing him on Saturday Night Live, but goes on to list the myriad qualities that make Italy a just-about-perfect travel destination, and reminds us that it's an ancient crossroads of the Mediterranean. We even talk about a few of Italy's negatives, including the VAT tax.

-- Italy may be compact and easy to get around, but each region offers something special. These include:

-- Milan and the Lake District, including the Galleria, La Scala and The Last Supper in Milan, and the prettiest villages and grand hotels in the Lake District.

-- Venice, with Murano, Burano and the ancient cities of the region, including romantic Padua and Verona.

-- Tuscany, with Florence, Siena, Lucca, fishing villages and Pisa; nearby Umbria, with Assisi and Perugia.

-- Rome, with its ancient wonders and its pasta!

__ The food and beauty of Italy's Amalfi Coast, with Naples, Capri, Sorrento.

--  Sicily, the largest island in the Med, with its special treasures.

-- Steve gives us more basic travel tips about traveling to Italy, and then tells us of his favorite memory, involving a helicopter and an ancient high-rise Tuscan town.

The 15th day of August is a national holiday to celebrate Ferragosto or Assumption Day. In 18 BC, Emperor Augustus declared August 1st a day of festival to thank his workers and give them time off to recharge by the sea. Often the festivals were marked by celebratory games such as horse races, like the famous Palio in Siena. Later, the date was moved to the 15th of August to coincide with the Catholic Feast and the Assumption of Mary.

Passion for Italy Travel Designers are big fans of Italian beach life so we thought it would be fun for some of us to tell you about our favorite beaches in Italy and why we love them so.

Allison discusses the beach culture of the Amalfi Coast and Puglia. Gemma lets her favorite secret slip, a beautiful hidden gem in Campania. Lindsay takes you to her favorite beach in Sardegna's Golfo di Orosei. Sabrina shares an insider's view of a lesser known beach in Le Marche. 

On this Episode, number 87, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, The lonnnnnnnnnnng trek to and from Italy has come to a conclusion. My heart is full with so much LOVE. My legs are TIRED, yet refreshed at the same time. My thoughts are vibrant and clear. I can truly feel the worth and value of ME radiating. So, with that being said, what is this "Vegan, Earth-loving, Intuitive leader" going to do next?

Step by step. The leap. The transition has arrived. There has been clear confirmation that "The Change" is upon myself. Growth is an open door awaiting to take my hand and dance with me under the moonlight. I am ready.

So, will I leave Los Angeles? Will I be expanding my wings? Find out here.
