Ana's Traveller Tip
In case you get seasick easily on boat rides, I recommend you to take some medicine with you to help you alleviate this discomfort.

Boat trips are a relaxing experience not to be missed when traveling to a coastal area. The Amalfi Coast, declared a Unesco World Heritage Site, is certainly one of the paradises worth touring by boat.

In all these trips you will always be accompanied by a local guide who is also the captain of the boat, so you can have the support of a professional during the tour. This guarantees you that the safety measures are complied with. In addition, you will be able to reach important tourist destinations and learn all about them.

Another option to live this experience is to rent a boat. However, not everyone can do it, since, besides being very expensive, you need knowledge and permits to sail along the coast.

• Seasickness pills, especially during long trips some people tend to get nauseous.
• Comfortable swimsuit, sunscreen and a hat, as something very popular as you have already seen are the visits to different beaches.
• If you are traveling with children, remember to bring toys for them to build castles and other sand figures.
• Take comfortable clothes and ergonomic shoes for the walks that have as an end a tour of the historic center of a city. In this type of plan you will usually have to walk for hours to get to know the place.
• Some medicine to help you with digestion if your boat ride includes food and beverage tasting.
