<\/a><\/p>\nAmalfi beach seen in mid-March 2016 r<\/em><\/p>\n On the Amalfi Coast I stayed exactly at the end of the second and beginning of the third week of March 2016. Although first day greeted me by a terrible wind and terribly cloudy sky, next one offered us big glimpses of the sun. Temperature during the day allowed me\u00a0to wear thin cloak and ankle shoes. Rain\u00a0occurred only fleeting, but intense. Cloudburst ongoing\u00a0half an hour hit me in Positano, but after the sudden rain came out beautiful sun. It happened that when the sun heat us up, took off my coat and walked only in blouse shirt. But a padded\u00a0jacket, was in a suitcase and not once was anticipated, mainly for evening walks. Also came in handy headscarf, tied usually as a delicate scarf, which once served me as a substitute of a cap when the cold wind mercilessly gave its toll on one of the first evenings.<\/p>\n Legend says, that Hercules fell in love with nymph named Amalfi. But unfortunatelyshe died and distraught Hero travered whole world searching\u00a0for decent place to rest for the beloved. Finally he reached the coast, hidden among the rocks, which\u00a0beauty captivated him to such an extent, that in honor of his beloved he called it\u00a0Amalfi and chose a burial place for nymph.<\/p> Amalfi is the largest and most well-known town of the Coast. Once trading and economic power, in Byzantine times independent, prosperous republic featuring an enormous naval fleet. In the twelfth century, Amalfi was conquered by the Normans, and two centuries later suffered heavily during strong earthquake and don’t regained its former glory. Today it’s a popular resort, where without any\u00a0problem\u00a0in high season you’ll see stars and celebrities from the front pages of international newspapers.<\/p>\n Built on the plan of the triangle main village square – Piazza del Duomo – the fountain in the middle is the heart of Amalfi. You will find here a couple of trendy cafes and restaurants, ideal for crouching and watching life rolling around. It’s hard to believe, but Amalfi is also the ordinary people living in old houses with pastel-colored, tightly squeezed between the sea and the surrounding hills. Narrow streets, often precipitous and covered with countless steps\u00a0hide boutiques, gift shops and numerous dining options. But the real treasure and pride of the Amalfi is the magnificent cathedral of St. Andrew, which origins date back to the ninth century, although till now\u00a0from ancient\u00a0building was not much left, and the final form of the building has gained only at the end of the nineteenth century.\u00a0If you didn’t choose to spend 3 euros for entry fee,\u00a0you absolutely have to climb up the impressive stairs (57 steps) from the top of which you will enjoy a beautiful view of the town. Further, on the back of the building encourage the narrow streets, through which you can walk and climb higher. Needless to say, that even in the high season they aren’t so popular\u00a0among the tourists, as the main piazza \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Ice cream lovers no need to worry, that during low season won’t\u00a0be able to buy and try beloved delicacy. Ice cream parlors operate substantially throughout the year. In December in Naples I ate ice creams too. In gelateria visible on picture above\u00a0you must try the wild strawberries ice cream.<\/em><\/p>\n Green squares delight the colors of spring.<\/em><\/p>\n Being in Amalfi at low season doesn’t bypass the beach. From the top of the breakwater has a beautiful view of the village nestled at the foot of high hills. Beach at Amalfi is rocky and not very big, but completely empty has a lot of charm, especially when the waves crashing on coastal rocks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn\u2019t quite real when you are Whom doesn’t admire the cascade of colored houses with steeply sloping hills to the sea? Although Positano isn’t the main town of the Amalfi Coast, it certainly deserves to be called the pearl. Suspended on the slopes, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, recognized visitors beautiful scenery and the incredible atmosphere of the holiday resort, even if part of the numerous restaurants and cafes, both on the beach, as well as those hidden in the midst of charming streets, is still closed. The extraordinary beauty of Positano made known quoted above John Steinbeck, who wrote about it\u00a0represented the town as a place almost unreal, because so beautiful. Not surprisingly, the colorful buildings surrounding three sides of the black, sandy – pebble beach has become an movie set for\u00a0such as “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and the infamous “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Interestingly, in the second one\u00a0we see Positano’s off-season.<\/p>\n You probably have seen more than once the famous beach in Positano, where in the summer to find a scrap of free space is almost impossible, and the price of renting a sunbed with umbrella dizzy you? It was a picture I saw when I first visited the coast in the second half of July 2010.\u00a0At that time beach, this seemed to me repulsive. Buzz and crowds are not my climates, especially if I’m aware that Italy is full of wonderful places, which even in the middle of summer tend to be empty. Imagine my delight, therefore, when in March, coming down the winding streets, I saw the beach illuminated by the spring sun and almost completely empty.\u00a0I counted on it literally eight people! I wenton it and stood delighted. Such Positano is just as heartfelt. I walked back and forth stopping every piece and savoring a magnificent view senses till from behind the mountains emerged ominous clouds ordering the retreat to one of the cafes. If you just get hungry here or in one of the neighboring towns, go ahead and put on fish and seafood. Even the off-season local restaurants offer delicious, freshly catch. \u00a0According to what I say from the first blog posts, if the place is functioning out of season means that serves good food. Why? Because without local customers wouldn’t have survived, and they know where to eat and what to\u00a0avoid like the plague.<\/p>\n Arthur enjoys the March sun on the almost empty beach in Positano.<\/em><\/p>\n Me and them. The whole beach just ours.<\/em><\/p>\n In this section, there was absolutely no one.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You know what else is amazing in this time of year? You can see the real, everyday life. Such as those frozen scene below – fishermen, who in my eyes arrived to the shore, and then preparing the boat for the next catch. Does in\u00a0the crowd of private boats and tourist\u00a0boats you can easily see such a scene? I don’t think so.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Joining the cafes to stay dry during\u00a0cloud bursts I wondered to\u00a0coffee with or without sfogliatelle. Does\u00a0in Positano, one of the most touristic\u00a0towns in\u00a0Italy, you can eat tasty? Fortunately, my beloved sweet delicacy of Neapolitan cuisine was perfect, and a price of 2.50 euro didn’t\u00a0differ much from the standard.<\/em><\/p>\n And that’s it. The time after the storm. Are these streets without people aren’t beautiful?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh, here I\u00a0caught one guy. August don’t you dare reach here ever! : )\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Let’s leave for a while Positano, Amalfi and my beloved Ravello, becouse they don’t have monopoly for all attractions. Let’s look in a few places, tempting out season’s\u00a0empty.<\/p>\n Beach \/ fjord in the town Furore<\/em><\/p>\n Before the season construction and renovation can be seen everywhere : )<\/em><\/p>\n My black model posed gracefully on the beach in Minori. Waiting for the season a number of boats are the perfect place for a cat lazing.<\/em><\/p>\n Green squares in towns delight the eyes with numerous flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n Early spring doesn’t mean the absence of color. Citrus trees are covered with ripe fruits.<\/em><\/p>\n Caf\u00e9 and restaurant tables still empty, but ready and inviting guests.<\/em><\/p>\n Maiori<\/em><\/p>\n Small beach in the area of Maiori in mid-March 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I asked Ma\u0142gorzate Ewe Mikrut a Polish woman living near Sorrento, who organizer weddings to Poles and leads the Facebook group Italy – direction Sorrento, Amalfi and Cilento<\/a> and privately my sincere friend\u00a0about visiting the Amalfi Coast in low season.<\/p>\n IbN:<\/strong> What – apart from lower prices and smaller amount of tourists – speaks for visiting the Amalfi Coast in low season, and what is the downside this solution?<\/p>\n MEM:<\/strong> Of course, in the low season we have smaller selection of hotels and restaurants, there’s also less of entertainment organized by the local municipality. For those wishing to explore the Il Sentiero degli Dei or the Valle delle Ferriere the low eason is ideal time, trails aren’t difficult, but in the summer on a trip is too hot. Currently, airlines offer flights to Naples at very attractive prices, so it’s worth to go to the coast during the Christmas time and see the beautifully illuminated towns and the nativity scenes, of which are known town from Naples to Salerno. You can see it even in roadside, natural caves, for example, in Positano and also onfountains, underwater like in Amalfi. Very famous in this period is Salerno, thanks to his artistic lights. Temperatures are always above zero, so you can go ahead and take the whole family, the kids will love it! Unfortunately, it’s less bus connections with the Coast from November, but that’s slight change. You can’t go to Capri from Amalfi, there are only connections from Sorrento and Naples, and in the event of bad weather didnt run at all.<\/p>\n IbN:<\/strong> When it starts and how long is the “beach season” on the Amalfi Coast?<\/p>\n MEM:<\/strong> My first sunbath in the new season I remember during the Easter holidays in April. Everything of course depends on the weather, which unfortunately cann’t be ordered, but when weatheris good sunbathing is guaranteed. We can easily say that season duration is from May to November. For example this year, but I remember that, in previous years was similar. And all the structures on the beach are open from June to October. Always, at every beach has to be a fragment designed for all, where you don’t pay fee for renting sunbeds and sun umbrella.<\/p>\n Beach near Meta Sorrento 1st of November 2016. \u00a9 Ma\u0142gorzata Ewa Mikrut<\/em><\/p>\n Beach Amalfi 31st of October 2016.\u00a0\u00a9 Ma\u0142gorzata Ewa Mikrut<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All new readers I invite to like my page Italia by Natalia on Facebook<\/a> and follow me on Instagram<\/a>.
