Since June it has been possible for citizens of several European Union countries to travel to Italy following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, so I decided to venture south from my Rome base to visit and verify the situation at the famous Amalfi Coast.

There were far fewer tourists there than usual, and it was a rare chance to see the popular beauty spot without the crowds that usually overrun this lovely area. It is worth noting that throughout my trip I was able to attest that the Italian social distancing and other protective measures were being taken very seriously so I felt extremely safe.
