Vietri Sul Mare

Today Dan stayed home with the kids and I went with my friend Caroline to a cute little town on the Amalfi Coast called Vietri Sul Mare. Vietri is known for producing handmade ceramics (ceramiche) and there are little shops all over the town filled with pottery.

You can also go to the largest factory in Vietri, Ceramiche Solimene. The main pattern the town is famous for has pastel colors with animals (chickens, frogs, snails, pigs, etc.) around the border.

Vietri is on the coast with beautiful sea views as well! Caroline and I had fun strolling along the streets, eating an uninterrupted lunch, getting fresh local ingredients to make dinner, and picking up some yummy cookies and candy for dessert!
