The Amalfi Coast is a paradise that blends dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant Italian culture. For our four-day escape to Ravello, the hilltop jewel of the coast, we relied on the Melk Eco Rucksack from the Kraxe-Wien City range. Its versatility as a city rucksack and travel rucksack made it the perfect companion for this short trip. Stylish, lightweight, and waterproof, it adapted seamlessly to everything the Amalfi Coast threw our way.
From boats to scenic trails, from lemon groves to sumptuous meals, Ravello and its surroundings proved to be a dream destination. Let us take you through our itinerary.
Day One: From Naples to Ravello
Morning: A Journey by Sea
Our adventure began in Naples, where we boarded a boat to Sorrento, bypassing the need for a car. The boat ride offered stunning views of the coastline, setting the tone for the days ahead. From Sorrento, we continued by bus to Ravello, winding through picturesque roads that hugged the cliffs.
- Flight-Friendly Companion: The Melk Eco Rucksack served as a flight backpack for our journey from home to Naples, fitting perfectly in the overhead compartment.
- Travel Light: With its compact size and thoughtful compartments, it carried everything we needed without weighing us down.
Afternoon: Exploring Ravello
Ravello welcomed us with its timeless beauty. Perched high above the coast, this serene town offers stunning views and a slower pace of life. After checking into our hotel, we explored the gardens of Villa Cimbrone, a must-see attraction. The Infinity Terrace, with its breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, was a highlight.
- Sustainable Style: The Melk Eco Rucksack’s sustainable design matched the eco-conscious vibe of this nature-filled destination.
Evening: Tramonti Wine and Dinner
For dinner, we indulged in local cuisine paired with wine from Tramonti, a nearby village known for its terraced vineyards. The rich flavors of the wine perfectly complemented our dishes, including fresh seafood and handmade pasta.
Day Two: Amalfi and Positano by Boat
Morning: Boat Tour of the Amalfi Coast
We spent our second day exploring the coast by boat, hopping between Amalfi, Atrani, and Positano. There’s no better way to experience the beauty of this region than from the sea, where pastel-colored villages cling to the cliffs, and the turquoise waters sparkle in the sunlight.
- Waterproof Backpack: The Melk Eco Rucksack’s waterproof backpack feature ensured our belongings stayed dry, even with the occasional sea spray.
- Lightweight for Travel: Its ergonomic design made it easy to carry, whether on a boat or walking through cobblestone streets.
Lunch in Positano
Positano’s iconic charm was the perfect backdrop for lunch. We enjoyed spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams) and a refreshing glass of limoncello, made from the region’s famous lemons. The energy of the bustling cafes and shops was infectious, and we spent the afternoon exploring before heading back to Ravello.
Day Three: Hiking from Ravello to Minori
Morning: A Scenic Trail
One of the highlights of our trip was the trail from Ravello to Minori, a picturesque path that winds through lemon groves and offers stunning views of the coastline. The hike took about an hour, and the fresh scent of citrus and the sound of birdsong made it an unforgettable experience.
- Perfect for Hiking: The Melk Eco Rucksack was ideal for carrying snacks, water, and a light jacket, with its compact yet spacious design.
Afternoon: Relaxing in Minori
In Minori, we relaxed by the sea and treated ourselves to delizia al limone, a local lemon dessert that’s as refreshing as it is delicious. This small village exudes charm and tranquility, making it a perfect spot to unwind.
Day Four: A Visit to Salerno
Morning: Exploring Salerno
On our final day, we took a short boat ride to Salerno, a vibrant city with a mix of historic charm and modern energy. We wandered through its old town, stopping at markets and boutiques, and strolled along the waterfront promenade.
Travel Tips: No Car Needed
One of the best parts of the Amalfi Coast is that you don’t need a car. Public transportation, boats, and even Vespa rentals arranged by hotels make it easy to get around. Plus, skipping the car means saving on parking fees, which can cost up to €20 per day.
- City Rucksack Convenience: The Melk Eco Rucksack transitioned seamlessly from boat trips to city explorations, proving its versatility as both a city rucksack and a travel rucksack.
Afternoon: Farewell to the Amalfi Coast
As our time in Ravello came to an end, we reflected on the warmth and joy of the Neapolitan people, the breathtaking scenery, and the unforgettable flavors. From the gardens of Villa Cimbrone to the sparkling waters of the Amalfi Coast, this trip was a feast for the senses.
