5 original experiences to live in Campania

The Costa d'Amalfi lemon, also known as Sfusato Amalfitano, is a typical fruit of the Amalfi Coast, recognized as unique excellence of Campania and awarded the I.G.P. (Protected Geographical Indication) recognition. A product born from the sun's encounter with the warm winds coming from the south, protected by the Lattari Mountains that surround the territory. It is only in Campania to taste the fruit of excellent quality, used to dress salads or fish in the Coast's waters. Moreover, Sfusato Amalfitano is the main ingredient of limoncello, a typical liqueur of the area which gladdens the palate just by tasting it. Used for its gastronomic properties as well as its alleged therapeutic and beneficial effects, the Amalfi Coast lemon is a priceless gift that nature has graciously bestowed upon Campania. A tour of the lemon is the best way to discover all the secrets behind the fruit's cultivation.
If you want to know further info about it, you can contact the company Divina Car Service that organizes excursions dedicated solely to the lemon, tasting and visiting the best producers in the region.

The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), a hiking trail that runs through the Monti Lattari, stretches along the Amalfi Coast and connects the towns of Agerola and Nocelle. The path is dedicated to the ancient world's great divinities, enough to give an idea of the spectacular nature of the path that overlooks a unique panorama. According to legend, the road was walked by the Greek gods to save Ulysses from the clutches of the Sirens. Landscapes of indescribable beauty can be admired from several points of the path, coasts that rise to the horizon as far as the eye can see between the clear sky and the crystal clear sea. Along the way, you can stop for a small picnic and enjoy the specialties of the area under the same sun that warmed the gods of the past. The path is always open, in the past, it was used as a mule track before being reopened as a road dedicated to hiking. An adventure with a natural flavour that only in Campania can be undertaken. Many agencies organize guided tours that allow you to cross the Path of the Gods in groups and in perfect safety. One of these is Divina Car Service that offers a two-hour tour along the Path of the Gods, a magical experience not to be missed. 

Mozzarella does not need any presentation. A culinary product is famous in every part of the world. Loved by all cooking lovers and used by the greatest chefs of Italy and not only. Companies produce a kind of mozzarella only in Campania: buffalo mozzarella, an excellent product. Companies make it mainly in Caserta and Salerno provinces, and it is the "queen of Mediterranean cooking" because of its superb taste qualities. Taking a bite of mozzarella is worth the price of a trip to Campania. There is no way to express the taste of mozzarella in words, and you have to taste it. The best way to learn the secrets of "white gold"? A guided tour to discover the greatest mozzarella producers, like the one offered by Divina Car Service. It will be a tour of an hour and a half to visit the typical dairies of the area and to experience practical demonstrations and, of course, many tastings. There are buffalo mozzarella and caciocavallo, provolone del Monaco, all kinds of cheeses, and lots of wine.

Positano is the pearl of the Amalfi Coast. A unique village, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and vacation destination for millions and millions of tourists from all over the world. Positano, seen from the sea, looks like a coloured pyramid of houses, streaked with different colours: you will admire from the green of the Lattari Mountains that crown it to the white, pink, and yellow of its Mediterranean houses, the silver-grey of its pebble beaches, and, finally, the blue of its sea. The glory of Positano has ancient roots. Since ancient times, the Roman aristocracy went to Campania to spend their vacations in luxurious villas by the sea. Visiting Positano means immersing oneself in a sea of history, traditions, food, churches, and a lot of shopping. Shopping in the narrow streets of Positano is a unique experience worth trying at least once in a lifetime. Stopping in small stores in search of typical products, tasting the traditional sweets of the Coast and enjoying a lemon ice cream are just some of the activities to do during a walk-in Positano. It is impossible to return home empty-handed. A guided tour is the wisest choice to unravel the town's streets and have the opportunity to meet sandal makers, painters and local artisans. 

Eating in a home restaurant is the best alternative to a traditional restaurant. It's a new fashion in catering, a different way to taste the typical local cuisine and get in touch with those who have lived in the area for years. Amalfi, the most famous town on the Coast, is full of home restaurants that allow visitors from worldwide to feel welcomed as guests by a traditional family. Typical dishes, generous portions, drinking in the company are the order of the day. The house encompasses the spirit of those who live in it, with their dreams, passions, desires, and experiences transmitted to all customers of the home restaurant. Dining in a typical house, with a view of one of the most famous, recognized and envied panoramas in the world, is an experience that can only be repeated in Amalfi.
