If the Amalfi Coast is anything, it's photogenic. Driving on the cliffs may be a little bit terrifying, but each turn leads you to another view even more beautiful than the one before. In Positano, take a tiny boat to one of the isolated beaches along the shore, and end your night at Music on the Rocks. For a day trip we took the ferry to Capri, where a little boat took us on a beautiful private tour around the island.

Where to Stay: If you want to stay in Positano, Le Sirenuse is beautiful, with those jaw dropping views of the cliffs and sea that the Amalfi Coast is known for. Casa Angelina is a modern, chic hotel in Praiano, the town next to Positano. If you want to enjoy beautiful Positano but not always be amongst it's hordes of American tourists, it is a really wonderful, high end option.

Where to Eat: Stop in Naples to eat pizza, which is worth the trip--Pizzeria di Matteo was fantastic. The best meal either of us has ever had in Italy (and J lived there for three months) was at a little place called Covo del Buongustaio. It was our last night before going home, and I was determined to find an amazing, authentic southern Italian meal. We found the restaurant on a review site, where every review was in Italian (good sign). In the car, we wound up and up the mountain until reaching the tiny town where the restaurant is located. After asking for directions we were told to drive even further up the hill. We passed a junkyard so creepy looking and out of place that we almost turned around. A car stopped beside us and it was the man who gave us directions, who then pointed out the restaurant--a nondescript house built into the cliff. At this point I am pretty sure we were about to walk into a tourista/robbery situation and am super sketched out. I hid my valuables and we went inside, where my mind was instantly at ease as we were greeted by the kindest woman, the hostess/waitress/busser and her husband, the chef. They served us house wine in a ceramic carafe and explained the menu as best as possible considering the language barrier. The meal was indescribable--I actually cried a little bit. Everyone knows that the best Italian meals are in someone's home, and this restaurant literally is--it doesn't get any more authentic than that. A must-visit.
