i live in florence for the last 4 years, and ive been to both cinque terre once and the entire amalfi/napoli/pompeii/capri area 3 times. you can guess why. this third time was just this past august. and i promise myself to go again, i LOVE that area. i mean cinque terra is also nice, the pics i took are nice, but if you are comparing both of these areas, i would choose amalfi, why? because for three reasons.
one, its more beautiful, the cliffs are incredible and the hidden beaches are unique! in cinque terre, the beaches were okay, nothing big, cute nice water, but nothing in comparison to amalfi and sorrento's beaches.
second, if you go to amalfi, you would have the chance to equally visit the town of napoli, pompeii, sorrento, amalfi, positano, the island of capri, the island of prosita..or prosta..i dont remember that name, and other little towns around the area. in cinque terra, what else do you have around to see and visit? only cinque terra.
third, if you go to cinque terre, its recommended in any way to rent a car, because to get from area to another, its not like its all at walking distance, i know its hard to find parking, but if you go all by foot, youll get tired easily and you wont get too far. if you go to amalfi, you will either way need to rent a car in order to go from town to town like from napoli to pompeii, to sorrento, to cath a boat to capri, nothing is even close to walking. unless you want to go and see ONLY amalfi, but that would be ridiculous, you pay so much money to go all the way down there and you only see amalfe?? you gotta take advantage and see everything!
ok, those are my reasons. if i you take my advice, contact me back and i can give you the exact directions to finding that exotic hidden beach i went to (THEY WERE NOT WRITTEN IN MY GUIDE BOOK) we foudn them just of darn luck. and all the things to see and do in capri, napoli, sorrento, positano, ecc...
good luck! |
