I'm thinking of buying the Amalfi Coast. Should I? I'm then going to give to each of you, my friends, a home with a terrace overlooking the sea. You will each will have a yacht and a Vespa. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served. Are you in? All I ask in return is that we spend time together, sipping wine and chatting on the terrace in the photo here. And why do I want to buy the entire Amalfi Coast? Because, as you can see, the town of Amalfi and its environs, known as the "Costiera amalfitana"-- which includes towns such as Ravello, Positano, and Sorrento--comprises some of the most beautiful and celebrated parts of Italy. Crystal blue seas. Fresh fish. Lemon trees. Crisp, cool wines. Beaches. Strolls. It's paradiso. The Amalfi Coast is situated in the province of Salerno, a city just south of Naples. It's nestled in the shadow of the volcano Vesuvius; nearby are the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed (yet preserved) under volcanic flows from the eruption of 79 A.D. The Amalfi Coast has been protected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1997, but I've been told we can have it. Nice of them, don't you think? Enjoy the photos--just click on them to scroll through. Let me know what you want, I'll set it aside for you.
