Along the coast road, beyond
the Capo di Amalfi, is
the small town of Atrani. Located at the mouth of
the Dragone
gorge, the town offers amazing
sights from every angle. There are numerous historic stairs, or scalinatelle, that
offer the best panoramic views
of the area. Visitors find it intriguing to climb these famous steps to
capture the
scenery that can be enjoyed
from the very top.
Many sites, such as Ravello, Scala and Pontone, are accessible by foot,. A short path leads
from Atrani to Amalfi,
where striking focal points
and scenic landscapes can be seen. The coastline inspires strong emotions
and is a
magnificent location
for a remembered lifetime. The village features local architecture
that flaunts an
authentic Italian style and
during the time of the Maritime Republics Atrani
was the residence of
the noble families of Amalfi.
Atrani is a delightful village that consists of narrow
streets, arches, courtyards and terraces. It has a small,
sheltered beach from
which fishermen set out at night in
their small boats equipped with “lampare”
or jack lights. The flickering
lights of the “lampare”on the dark
waters of the Mediterranean sea are
an unforgettable sight to behold!
Then:The Romantic
Grand Tour and in the sixties , the years of the economic boom and the
sweet life...
the young lions who divided
the Summer between Capri , Amalfi and Positano...Atrani was now
swarming with actors,
producers, artists of all
types and adventurers : Jackie Kennedy who danced barefoot on the tables of
Chez Checco,
Rossellini turned the town
into an exclusive cinema set...In the footsteps of the VIPS , tourism
exploded....
