Vincent Poon :: Ports of Call - Naples, Pompeii & the Amalfi Coast
 
The port of call was in Naples but what we really visited was Pompei and the Amalfi Coast along the scenic drive of SS163. There was so much to see in Amalfi Coast that we spent (or drove?) a full day here and only visited Positano and Ravello. This is not just about the breath-taking views, but each town itself is so unique and full of character.
 
This is definitely on my redo list and some day I would wish to return to visit Capri's famous Blue Grotto as well!

View of Amalfi town
Approaching the town of Amalfi
Leaving Amalfi... oops that was quick! We didn't stop by maybe because it was now a small town, as most of the city slid into the sea during an earthquake in 1343.
On the way to Ravello, we climbed the hills and stopped at Pontone for lunch
