Geocache Description:

Vietri sul mare , centro


I changed the difficulty because: You do not need to be sporty but as you can read in the comments, there are indeed always a lot of people around. To LOG your visit you will have to be very creative. Indeed it’s securely attached to prevent theft ;) so you cannot grab it with you to fill in the logbook somewhere else. I cannot give you some timeslots from when the shops and restaurants are closed as in the south they can do a little bit like they want. Of course I believe that if you go at 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning everything will be closed. But you will not enjoy the view of the main place because of the dark neither enjoy the way of living from the south people. Up to you. Vietri Sul Mare is the first village to start a road trip around the Amalfi coast. The Amilfi coast is known for its beautiful beaches with real turquoise water, ceramic and limoncelo as this is typical something from this side of Italy. For more historic and geographic information you can read the comments from Wikipedia hereunder. I hope you will really enjoy this little place and that you will take the time to travel around (really). Also do not hesitate to choose a typical “not touristic” little “restaurant” as you will normally eat very good (better) and for a cheap price. Generally the restaurants are really clean also if there are very little. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vietri sul Mare ("Vietri on the Sea") is a town and commune in the province of Salerno, in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is a popular tourist destination because it is a convenient place to start the Amalfi Coast drive. It is the last or first town on the Amalfi Coast and inhabitants like to call it “The First Pearl of the Amalfi,” claiming that the Amalfi begins at Vietri, which is just west of Salerno. Vietri is the origin of dishes, flowerpots, vases and tiles found in restaurants, hotels and homes throughout the Amalfi area. The town is bordered by Cava de' Tirreni, Cetara, Maiori and Salerno. The quarter by the sea, named Marina di Vietri is located to the south of the town. The village and frazione of Raito is close to the town. The other frazioni are Albori, Benincasa, Dragonea (including the localities of Iaconti and San Vincenzo) and Molina. Vietri sul Mare is the first of the 13 pearls of the Amalfi Coast, set in the most protected location of the homonymous gulf, at the foot of Monte San Liberatore and dominates the valley of the Bonea river. Temperature in the coldest month, January is about +10.4 °C; whereas during the summer, July and August the average temperature is about +26.4 °C.[2]
