Amalfi Coast Road

Of all the roads we’ve driven, we would not recommend the road along Italy’s Amalfi Coast for beginners. Not just because the extremely narrow twisty, sometimes water level, sometimes cliff hanging road might be difficult to drive, but the unbelievably gorgeous scenery makes it almost impossible for the driver to keep his mind and eyes on the job at hand. We do recommend that the drive east be done in the afternoon, the drive west in the morning. We’ve done both, and it’s important to keep the sun at the driver’s back, so the glare doesn’t distract from the view of the scenery, the road, and the traffic.

Don’t even try to imagine why that car is where it is. Perhaps an Italian driver on a Sunday outing, finally found a parking place.
