Artisanal Shops of the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast has a rich history of artisanal products, from the world-renowned ceramics produced near Praiano to the region's spectacular limoncello, the best in Italy. This tour is completely customizable based upon your interests and can include lunch along the way. In addition to ceramics and limoncello, we can visit artisans producing cameos (a tradition born in the 17th century and later refined for the King of Naples), hand-made chocolate infused with the exceptional flavors of the area such as lemons, oranges, and spicy peppers, coral jewelry (harvested from the sea since Roman times), marquetry from music boxes to gaming tables, and the sexy bejeweled sandals much beloved by Jackie Onassis. Always popular are the tailors who produce the typical summer slacks for men in every color of the rainbow as well as capri pants for women. Shopping frenzies are common at special local shops like the Antica Sartoria di Positano that craft the effortless, bohemian look unique to the Amalfi Coast and so easy to wear at home in the summertime. Finally, it goes without saying that you will see some of the most spectacular scenery of the Amalfi Coast as we travel from shop to shop by private vehicle.
