ITALY HAS REMAINED DISTINCTLY REGIONAL IN ITS MAKE-UP, BUT VERY MUCH AT ONE IN ITS GLOBAL APPEAL TO TRAVELLERS It’s the Amalfi coast, but not as you know it. Around the headland from Amalfi town, Atrani’s wedge of pastel buildings is a legacy of its past as a suburb of Amalfi doges. There’s just one catch: since Netflix’s Ripley series was filmed here, bookings have risen 93% — so go soon. Italy | National Geographic Traveller

NESTLED AMONG ATRANI'S PASTEL-COLOURED BUILDINGS Atrani is a legacy of its past as a suburb of Amalfi doges. They’re all tied together by Escher-esque scalinatelle, which look their best around the church of Santa Maria Maddalena. There are no coach tours here, meaning you can enjoy a crowd-free aperitif at La Risacca on pretty Piazza Umberto I, then dine in peace at a family trattoria like Il Veliero. 8 of the best coastal towns in Italy you may not have heard of | National Geographic Traveller (UK)

BETWEEN LEMON AND OLIVE GROVES, VINEYARDS, FARMS, AND VILLAGES I’ll be honest, the stairs to Ravello are steep. This hike is a lot more difficult than the Path of the Gods. But it was totally worth it! I began the hike from Atrani’s cathedral, but since these paths form a network, you can start from other towns like Amalfi. Expect to climb around 1,700 ancient steps to the romantic medieval town of Ravello. Let yourself be enchanted (and distracted) by stunning views and the scent of lemons and olives all around you.

"NEL BLU DIPINTO DI BLU" THE EQUALIZER 3 TRAILER MUSIC For the set of The Equalizer 3 a gem less known to most was chosen, the very small Atrani. The latter is located immediately after Amalfi and is characterized by perched houses, typical of the area, and a small beach full of fishing boats. In addition to Atrani, filming also concentrated in the more spacious Minori and Maiori. The presence of such a stellar cast on the Amalfi Coast was the icing on the cake at the end of an already great season. The characters of the film was spotted several times as he wandered around the streets; Denzel Washington went to numerous shops to get ice cream or pizza and he enjoyed relaxing boat rides on the clear waters. Denzel Washington in the Amalfi Coast for The Equalizer 3 | Positano Boats
