Atrani itself is simple but delightful, classic village square with two or three cafes and kids playing around - very different to Amalfi with its tourist hordes and shops. In Atrani you can walk up through the village's maze of houses and narrow alleyways into the surrounding hills for amazing views of the coastline, and visit old watch towers and picturesque villages like Pontone and Ravello, with its stunning villas and gardens. You can catch buses from Atrani that travel up and down the coast ( From Amalfi there are long distances buses and ferries to Capri, Sorrento, Naples etc) Atrani offers everything necessary for a comfortable life: restaurants with tasty food, shops and supermarkets, a wonderful beach (you may choose either a beach with free admission or a paid beach) and a warm clear sea . |
