The gourmand’s first port of call on the Amalfi Coast is, of course, Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi, home of the celebrity chef, Alfonso Iaccarino.
Alfonso also opened a delicatessen, selling Amalfi Coast goodies, including liqueurs, olive oil and jams produced on his “Le Peracciole” farm.
The gastronomic extravaganza continues in Positano, at the bar-patisserie La Zagara. Call in here for a refreshing granita on the panoramic terrace, and a tray of sfogliatelle and babà to munch on the way home.
A few bends later and you’ll come to Furore where, in a cellar carved in the rock, the wines of Marisa Cuomo are kept.
The winery organizes both guided tours and tastings.
In Minori, you’ll find “Al Pastaio” pasta shop and try some of the concoctions filling the windows of Sal de Riso’s patisserie.
To purchase Monti Lattari’s exceptional fiordilatte cheese, you’ll need to travel up to the town of Tramonti and the Antica Latteria.
The Amalfi Coast still boasts a surprising number of artisan workshops, which both create and sell unique pieces of earthenware.
The best ceramics are in Vietri Sul Mare, which is full of shops selling every genre of ceramics as well as schools which teach pottery.
If you’re looking for artistic ceramics, head to Pasquale Liguori’s studio.
Marco Fusco’s Laboratorio Fes, in Amalfi, houses a fabulous collection of contemporary pieces.
Amalfi is famous, above all, for its handmade paper: a vast selection of which can be found in the Cartiere Amatruda.
At the Scuderie del Duca you can purchase not only paper, but also wax, ink and antique and modern prints.
If, on the other hand, you fancy taking a traditional mandolin back home with you, you’ll need to go to Praiano, where the Amalfi Coast’s last lute maker is located.
The Coast is famous for having invented the “hippy-chic” style: a Mediterranean version of the apparel worn by the flower power generation, characterized by bright cotton or linen blouses, scarves, sarongs and flat sandals, inspired by the footwear made in Capri.
The best place to purchase a pair of made-to-measure sandals, without emptying your wallet, is Maiori, in Alfonso Dattilo’s legendary shoe shop.
To get the Positano look, pop in the Bottega di Brunella where Vito and Brunella have created beautiful designs for men, women and children using the finest linen, chenille and wool.
You’ll need a bathing costume too, perhaps decorated with studs of turquoise and coral, like those created by the Antica Sartoria, located on Spiaggia Grande.
