BEACH TOWNS
When we weren’t eating at home or in the nearby town, we hopped in the car and explored
the beaches. Our first stop was the beach town of Ascea. It’s a 25-minute drive
from Moio and in the province of Salerno. Note: It’s situated 92 kilometers from the actual city of Salerno. We ate at a brand new restaurant
called L’Approdo (here’s their business card). Like all the restaurants here, the food is inexpensive and amazing. The restaurants usually serve small portions but diners order multiple dishes. Start off with a salad, then some pasta and finish up with a meat dish before polishing off dessert.
SCARIO
My favorite beach town was Scario. It’s a good 45-minute drive from the house but that doesn’t count in August when every Italian is on vacation and traffic is insane all over the country. Scario is at southernmost end of the Cilento and is a dreamy coastal village. The focal point is the marina
with a combination of new and old fishing boats. Take a walk along the promenade
where you’ll find one cafe or shop after another. If you keep walking along the seashore, you’ll get to the secluded beaches. There’s no doubt in my mind that as soon as you see the water, you’ll want to jump in and go for a swim.
SAPRI
We didn’t eat in Scario; it was a little too early so instead, we drove 10 minutes down the road to
Sapri.
The beach town is much more touristy and definitely not as charming as Scario. However, the
food
at the restaurant where we ate, Carlo Magno, was damn good. Here’s their business card.
OVERALL
There’s not much more I can say. As you can see, spending time in a remote village away from tourists and high prices really allows you to live like a local. If you’re not lucky enough to have friends or family living here like me, then you can always find a villa, apartment or even a room to rent online. Recommended website:

VIDEO
Here's a short Johnny Jet video
of my trip to Southern, Italy. It's also on YouTube, so it only takes a few seconds to load (though the quality is not as crisp). We also have all the Johnny Jet videos
ever made on their servers.
NEXT WEEK Next week, we travel by train and ferry to pay a visit to a very special island.

SOME OF LAST WEEK'S READER AIR-eMAIL
Having spent at least 20 summers in the area, I enjoyed your article. But, I must correct one thing. Delta has had a non-stop from JFK for many years. Before that the flight was operated by Pan Am.
By the way, when you were in St. Paul de Vence you should have eaten at Colombe D'or. It has a beautiful garden and a fantastic and priceless art collection. L. Stern -- New York,NY
I was in Paris one year for Bastille Day too. They have amazing fireworks! Ann H – Colorado
As usual "super job" on the trip to Nice. Please let the person who organizes the video that they do a wonderful job. The editing is very professional and the music is killer. Pete H - Irvine, CA REPLY: Thanks for the kind words! Johnny Jet produces the videos himself.
It looks as though the South of France was amazing….. and I am currently neon green with envy! ;-) Susan E – Los Angeles, CA
Once again, thanks for the free travel and advice. Club Med Opio looked really nice! Keep the good work! By the way, next time in Brazil, take a detour to Brasilia ( 1h20min from Rio or Sao Paolo). I hope that time, our Skies and airports will be in a better shape. Abracos (hugs) Gustavo L – Brasilia, Brazil.
Dear Johnny: Read your great story. In 98, my wife and I loved being at the top of the lovely artist village, Gordes, which as you know is more in the center of Provence (maybe 100 miles north/west? of Nice as the crow flies) and have always wanted to view the surrounding Nice/Med area from Gourdon, the fabled balcony of the French Riveria.
Your article will inspire us to make sure we visit the areas you mentioned. Tom S - San Diego.
