Hearing you talk about Italy makes me want to go there so much more! You genuinely seem so happy talking about the Amalfi Coast.

I loved your enthusiasm! On my there next week, can’t wait!
Thanks so much, happy travels!
This video is so practically informative - thank you!
Thanks so much, happy to hear that!
Great video! It’s so true about the bus drivers in Amalfi when you look down it feels like you’re right on the edge of the cliff.
Thanks so much! haha yes, its wild!
Love it 🥰 and the Gelatooo! So amazing! Can’t wait to travel with you again! I have one advice for your videos: add chapters, they are especially useful for informational videos like yours! You can add them at the end of the description like we have on our videos ☺️
Thanks sooo much guys! Omg yes, the best! Thank you so much for the tip, I'll definitely implement it! Thank you :)
Why that was the most excitable review i have ever watched but so fun too I am going in June and was already excited but you have raised my excited 200%. Such an amazing personality. Thank you Mahna
Aww yay thank you so much! This is definitely one of my favorite videos I've ever made haha. Much love!
I went there and loved it! Totally want to go back again! Absolutely beautiful 💙
aww yay im happy to hear that! its such a special place!
The Amalfi Coast looks very picturesque! I would love to check it out one of these days. Having dinner with the great views close to sunset would be so memorable! I love the puppy at the end!
Such a beautiful place on Earth! I hope you get to! Yes, Bella is so sweet. Thanks so much for watching!
Loved this video! And the way you explained everything so I subscribed :)
Wow thank you so much ☺️🙏🏽
Very useful video, thank you!
The most useful Amalfi guide I have found - thank you!
WOW I'm so happy to hear that! Happy travels! :)
Great review. I will be in Italy for a cycling tour I'm participating in, then plan to spend the remaining week after in the Naples area. Your review helps with my plans.
Wow that is awesome! Thanks so much, happy travels!
Thank you for all the information. I was not really sure if I should do 1 day trip from Naples but now you convinced me to definitely GO :-) Love your energy.... Take care!
Awww yay! I'm so happy to hear that, thank you so much for your kind comment! Happy travels! :)
Isle of Capri while your at it ;) I LOVED the Amalfi Coast and Capri. Just magical in that area. Naples is a bit 'run down' but still nice, and of course there is Pompeii on your way!!
I did a day trip along the AmalfiCoast starting from Salerno, stopping at Amalfi, Ravello and Positano before arriving at Sorrento in the late afternoon where I stayed for 3 nights (including a daytrip to Capri Islands)
Aw wow that is amazing! Sounds like a lovely trip!
Your happiness shines through and has an incredible rub off effect on the person watching this video. Keep it up!
Wow, that means the world! I’m so happy to hear that because that’s always my goal. Thank you! ☺️🙌🏽
Great video. lovely personality! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! :)
Wow.. Wow.. This is the most informative video I've seen about the Amalfi Coast. First of all, the ways of access you gave from place to place, both by land and by sea, which I have not seen in any other video. Your video is amazing with the spectacular views, the delicious food of southern Italy and the easy packing of a suitcase.🏖⛱️🏝
This will be my second visit to southern Italy, although last time,
unfortunately i didn't get to all the beautiful places you mentioned, i was only in Napoli and Capri Thanks to you I will come again for a trip to the Amalfi coast this summer.
Lots and lots of love from Israel❤🇮🇱💟
Hi hi! Aw wow thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment after watching! That means the world, I’m so glad this was helpful! I hope you get to go back and experience even more of the magic. Happy travels!! ☺️🙌🏽
I’m so excited to go to Amalfi esp after watching your video
Oh my goodness I literally booked a stay at agerola today! Thankfully there’s plenty of transport options around Amalfi coast (it’ll be my first trip there!)
You’re awesome!! thank you so much!
Awww yay thank you!
Loved your video, love your energy
Thank you SO much! I was so excited filming this one haha, I love Italy!
@@MahnaGhafori I just got back myself.
Very good! I am a tour guide in the region and I agree with everything you said. I love your enthusiasm to tell and share information.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kindness!
Thank you Mahna....your enthusiasm is infectious!!!!! Do you recommend this trip for a day tour from Rome, or not enough time? From the tours I've seen they incorporate Pompeii which because of time, I would prefer not to do and my husband has already been. If your answer is 'yes', my friend who has just been said (and I note what you have already mentioned, re the steps) she didn't think I would be able to move around Positano easily -- she is 10 years younger and a little bit fitter than what I am at time of typing..your thoughts would be appreciated :-). We will be in Italy in October to November, I'd be curious to know if you do any other videos for Rome, Florence, Lake Como, Venice & Milano 3n 4din most of the places thanks in advance ....Fran 🙂
What a great video! Thank you Mahna!
I want to ask you also about the exact spot in Agerola where you filmed the stunning view starting at 2:40.
I will be there in September and I really love to see such a breathtaking view.
Thanks again ❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that it was helpful. This is the name of the location on Google Maps: Castello Lauritano. Just up the hill from this amazing AirBnb/restaurant, the name on Google Maps is: "Tomato, Wine and Cheese Producer" at address: Via Castello, 3, 80051 Agerola NA, Italy. Happy travels!
@@MahnaGhafori
Can't thank you enough for the precise and clear information 🙏😊
Know that I'll be remembering and thanking you again when I'll be there.
Have a great day!
I love your drive, energy passion and honesty! Great video and review!
I am from London and have flights booked to Naples for 6 nights from Sun 2nd June until Saturday 8th June. I am going with my wife and we are young and love food, views and keen to see Pompei one day. I have a 2000 GBP budget for hotels. Where or what area would you recommend me stay at amalfi coast please? I don’t mind doing 1 or 2 nights elsewhere ravello or something to keep costs down as i know £2000 isn’t the biggest budget for hotel for 6 nights but its still fairly good
We just got back and found it to be absolutely gorgeous! We stayed in beautiful Atrani. The only thing I would do differently is I would definitely rent a scooter. I feel like we did a lot of walking but didn't cover much ground. We did take buses to Positano and Ravello and other small villages. But every time a scooter whizzed by, I wished I had one!
Benvenuti al Sud!
Aww wow that is amazing! So fun. And true! Definitely a fun and adventurous way to get around ;)
This is the only video which makes me want to go there instead of Greece! Its just the fact it’s not so easy as to just flying directly there with an all inclusive. I’m quite young so it all seems soo complicated to me. You’ve made it much easier❤️ but yet i still have so many questions😂. Think it’s just with how nervous i am to go alone for the first time ever😂!!
Wow! I am glad it is helpful and you definitely got it!! :)
great video!
thank you so much!
Thanks for making a very practical video about the Amalfi Coast. I find too often that other travel guides are too “influencey” and not really relatable or even doable but I loved your approach. I was there about 5 years ago and agree with everything you said. It’s a splendid and magical place and I really, really want to go back.
Thanks so much, that was exactly my goal! Appreciate your thoughtful feedback ☺️🙌🏽
Super nice video. ❤
Thank you very much!
Hi Mahna! Loved this video! We are going in 2 more weeks to Amalfi and I just can’t wait! 🇮🇹❤ The only question I have is in regards to the umbrella and chair rental at the beaches. We are planning to go to Marina Grande (Amalfi town) and Spiaggia Grande (Positano), should we rent umbrella and chairs in advance? Or is not necessary? I heard you can do it in advance but I don’t find a website to do it.
Hi hi! That is SO exciting, I hope you have the best time! It sounds like it should be September by then so maybe not as crowded. I do not think you have to reserve in advance, I'd just suggest going earlier in the morning to the beach you are interested in renting at to get your spot! Happy travels :)
Mahna I love your enthusiasm. I had already booked a flight to Naples and I will be going to the Amalfi coast. If I hadn't decided yet where to go, your perfect description of Amalfi and Positano would have convinced me where to go.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! :)
Aloha🌈😊 Big mahalo from Japan🇯🇵😍 I was so surprised to hear that you are one of Nikki Tomlin's best friends!! I saw you in her Swiss video ！！ ！
I love the Amalfi Coast. I want to visit again. I traveled to Italy 10 years ago.💝💝💖💖
Nikki is the best! Thanks so much for saying hi! Aloha! Amalfi is incredible, I hope you get to go again!
@@MahnaGhafori 🥰💖
One of the very good with so much energy 😅😅
Thank you so much! haha
Thanks for the informative video! Can you please share how you got to/from your hotel in Agerola? Thinking on staying there but not sure how to get there with luggage and to get around from there
Thanks so much, glad it was helpful! I ended up just walking, it was 10 mins walking from the bus stop to the Airbnb I stayed at! Most others I observed walked too. Uber doesn't exist there and otherwise you'd have to call a taxi and wait a while if they come at all. That was my experience!
This was suuuuper helpful. Thank you so much!
I am so glad it was helpful! :) happy travels!
one third of yourself, two thirds of the scenery would be perfect. thanks for useful info.
thank you!
Well, well, well.....no, no, ....it's not my tie, it's my tongue out, I'm just exhausted just viewing this........but just adored it. Sooo ,...as you make this so eaaasy, ......smoooth, and .....charm, I'll follow it to the "t" as soon as I can plan and book that trip. Really, I have seen others reviews about this paradisiac place, ....but you just excelled, ....the energy and confidence that you irradiates are stunning. I'm seeing your "shorts" and are just as spectacular themselves. Thanks God that I'm not a tad near you, ..'cause your instant and radiant energy will fry me like a fish, you are so enthusiastic and electrified, my Gosh!! 🤣🤣
Hi! thank you so much for the helpful video! how did you get from the coast to your airbnb in Agerola?
Thank you so much for watching! public bus :)
You missed Ravello town! You would loved it the best!
Hi! Awesome video! Planning a trip soon. Don't want to be overpacked and hindered. Can you tell me exactly what size luggage to buy for this type of traveling? Thanks!
I would recommend an international size carry on suitcase and a backpack! That would be the most efficient and easy!
Thanks for the video. Will go there this summer. I can not find AirBnB in Agerola you refer to. You have any link as your link to Casa Radicosa seems to be another property.
That’s so exciting! Yes, here’s the link to the listing. Although now it looks like it went from hidden gem to fully booked through much of the summer, that’s crazy! Happy for the owners. 🥹🫶🏽 abnb.me/2v2nzGDV5zb
Love your videos. I'm having a hard time deciding between Almafi and Madeira . Which one is better?
Thanks so much! ooooh totally different vibes. Madeira is more of an adventure nature immersion experience, Amalfi is more of full summer Italy touch of luxury beachy vibes (bordering extremely touristic and crowded in peak summer). Both so so amazing! Enjoy your travels!
Great video! What lens are you using for the portions of you talking?
Thank you so much! That's filmed on my Canon R5 with the 35mm fixed lens! Linked here: www.amazon.com/shop/mahnatravel?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fl.instagram.com%2F
Yaas it's worth the hype.But for normal people like me,we can't afford to stay there but a day trip on Vespa is nice. Can stay at Sorrento or Vico Sequence and then travel by ferry or Vespa.
Now we have an airport in Salerno too😀😀😀
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support!
Amazing!! How do you get down from Agerola to Amalfi?
Thank you so much!! Bus!
You are so cute 😍and looks like you had so much fun !!!! And that’s how I usually describe any trip 😂
Aw thanks so much!! Haha so much fun!
did you buy the train from naples to sorrento at the train station? or before geting there?
Any suggestions about hiring a motor bike from naples to amalfi?
Hi Mahna, just wasted to know have you travelled with your puppy? As I don't want my puppy to left behind and go for the vacation
Your vedio very interesting
Thank you!
Beautiful Amalfi coast. Did you visit the Rome very gorgeous , the colosseum particularly, milan, lake como , pompeii en the Tuscany wine region?
Absolutely yes!! Love Italy so much. The only one I’d this list I haven’t been to is lake como! Hopefully this summer!
@@MahnaGhafori wow. I would like to visit the destination
Hi there! I just found your video. We are planning to go to Italy this year and the Amalfi Coast was something I wanted to see. Question for you, I get motion sick unfortunately, is the ride along the coast real windy (wine-dy)?
Hi hi! Welcome! That's so exciting. So I am someone who gets really bad motion sickness too, so I can definitely relate. I wear motion sickness sea bands (purchased off amazon) and found I was thankfully okay during these rides! I try to always pick a window seat and look at the horizon (not my phone) when on the rides. Also sitting closer to the front of the vehicle is the best bet. I hope it helps and you have an awesome trip!
Ok good to know. Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never tried the wristbands but I might give them a try before we leave just to make sure they work for me. Thanks again!
Your travel tips always come in handy! Just a friendly suggestion, have you ever tried using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane? It's designed to keep you organized and efficient while traveling, and I think it aligns perfectly with your expertise in maximizing the travel experience.
Hey thanks for the tips. I am wondering how did you travel between your airbnb and the sita bus stops? Your stay is up high and the buses are in the center so I am wondering how you reached the busses to travel around and how did you go back to your stay at night without a bike/ car?
So glad this was helpful! Walked haha :) Major key to europe summer is packing light and being prepared to roll your suitcase around a whole lot - I only do carry on and backpack if possible! And the night I went out and stayed out late I was staying in the center of Positano so I was just able to walk the 10 minutes! :)
I was born and have lived in Naples all my life and, believe it or not, I have never been to Positano, only once in amalfi
no way!
Tying the knot there. Hopefully it will be worth it.
Wow, what a dream! Excited for you!
what sandals were you wearing?
I wish I can learn from you for my vlog
I appreciate your kindness!
It would be nice to see full screen shots of the places you are talking about, as oppsed to just one third of the picture.
hey! This is the type of video guide I make that works for me, I find it provides me a nice balance of being able to fully enjoy the location the way I like when visiting, then provide valuable information to people to plan their own trips when I return home. Thanks for your feedback!
How did u get fr Agerola to the city center since ur up in the hill? Were there bus taxi they go up there?
Busses are amazing! Google search the route from place to place you are looking to go and many public transport options will come up
❤Perfeckt!❤
Thanks so much!
Hi , I will like to go in May since you are saying that July August is busy .and what type of sneakers for walking you recommended
Hey! That is so exciting, definitely a great time to go. I would recommend checking out different sneakers on Zappos.com. There, you can pick out and try on different shoes based on the comfort and style you like, and return for free if it isnt a fit. I would walk and try it out a bit before your trip to make sure it is comfortable for plenty of walking. Happy travels!
Do you have the link of the Airbnb? I couldn’t find it 😕
Did you have to buy your train/bus tickets from naples ahead of time or just when you got to the station? and how long did it take? Taking a day trip from rome and trying to optimize our time and money!
I bought my ticket when I got to the station! If you search "travel time" from the origin to destination you are heading to, a few different resources should pop up that will have your exact route outlined with different travel options. Thats what I do! happy travels!
Thinking of going in May!
thats so exciting! happy travels!
Can you give us a complete travel guide of how to get from Naples to Amalfi, which train did you take? What was the exit from the train station to Sorrento? What bus did you take to Sorrento and what stop did you take to get to Amalfi Coast? Do you have any links to purchase tickets
Hey! If you do a quick google search there are many websites that will give you bus breakdowns and different transport options to get from place to place! This is simply an informational inspiration overview :) Happy travels!
Hi! I am looking to plan a holiday at amalfi coast as well, I'm not planning to rent a car so I'm wondering for hostels/Airbnb thats up on the mountain like the one you stayed in Amalfi, is it convenient to take the public transport to travel up and down the mountain everyday? or did you rent a motorcycle? thank you so much!
Hi thats so exciting! I was able to take public transport everywhere :) happy travels!
Hey! Awesome video! Do you recommend solo female travellers to go there? Was it safe?
Hey! I went as a solo female traveler and I felt safe, although I am an experienced traveler and know what to look out for more or less! I'd recommend it though :)
I’ve watched this video numerous times😩! It’s stressing me out how badly i want to go! Could you give me a tip on what’d be the best but easiest (carrying luggage etc) way to have the best time with my girlfriend in positano and amalfi. I’m struggling on how id get around as its not all straight forward there.
I appreciate you for checking it out! The tips I shared are my best advice for how to get there with different budget approaches. For best, private taxi would be the most streamlined but expensive. Just depends on your budget! Happy travels!
hey did the bus from sorrento take you to almafi or agerola? im staying in agerola so wondering how the best way is to get there, thanks!
hey there are a bunch of different routes, I'd suggest googling for the specific route you're looking to take and a bunch of options with time tables will come up! Happy travels :)
Do you recommend buying a ferry ticket ahead of time if your going mid September ? Or do you just buy the ferry tickets when you arrive. Thank you!
We bought them just a few days beforehand as our plans were more spontaneous but to save money you can definitely book them ahead of time!
Thanks for the video..how did you travel to Amlfy from your stay there..google says it takes around 1 hour 30 mins..is it true?
Thank you so much for watching! Via bus!
I wanna hire a God for the hikes!! 😺
hahah glad you caught the joke 😉 ❤️
Damnnnnn and you went without me, thats messed up.
What is the best time of the year is to visit there?
What about from London to Amalfi by car ?
Any advice ?
Sounds like an epic road trip adventure to me! ;)
Where can we plan a trip in Europe during December 1st week
Sooo many options to choose from! Greece would be unique during that time of year. Cold, but still beautiful
Where can we store our bags if we are doing 1-2 stops during a day but not overnighting there?
I'd search for a locker storage in or around the airport you fly in to!
Hey
Would you recommend visiting Amalfi during the month of February?
Hey hey, im not sure as I've never been then, I imagine it will be colder but still super beautiful! And the good thing is, no tourists!
We are 73 years old. We are active but I'm worried about all the steps. What area of Amalfi to you recommend for seniors? I would love to do a boat tour and possibly stay in a senior friendly area. Is the place you stayed easy to get to?
I wish I could tell you, but I'm not too sure exactly! The place I stayed at was definitely not easy to get to, although I took the option to walk. It was off of a road and I'm sure you could also drive there! I hope you find the perfect place and have the perfect vacation!
Did you have to make reservation at Ristorante Bruno?
I walked in right before sunset which is considered a little early for the dinner rush and was able to be seated immediately!
@@MahnaGhafori Great thanks!
her smile got her my sub
Aw, thank you! :)
No mention of what to expect on prices for accommodations or meals…disappointing 😢
like n.2528 dal Sud Italia
you went solo?
Yes! :) Met lots of other solo travelers too!
Your vidio is good but it would be better if you show the city and the view instead of your picture
hey! my personal style of sharing my travel adventures is to fully enjoy and experience the moment, then come back and tell my stories and recommendations of it with the authentic moments I captured. there are other creators out here who vlog every moment of their journeys and perhaps their content would be a better suit thats more aligned for your needs :) thank you!
