Boat ride to Amalfi and Positano

We went on a very nice full day boat ride along the Amalfi coast, with a few stops along the way, including Amalfi and Positano.


Our boat excursion started in beautiful Marina del Cantone, only a few kilometers from our house in Torca, at the end of a twisty road.
The first stop on our ride was in Amalfi, a beautiful town perched on the edge of the cliff.


The fountain in the main piazza in Amalfi is adorned with a statue of St Andrew.

One of the female figures has strategically well-positioned spouts...

Very nice restaurant with a terrace where we had lunch in Positano.
Well worth the climb up the hill.
