What should I pack when moving to Amalfi?
We asked people living in Amalfi to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Amalfi, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier, layered clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes as the town is best explored on foot. A swimsuit is essential for enjoying the beautiful beaches and a sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Pack any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of the prescription in case you need to get it refilled. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Bring all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. Also, keep a photocopy of these documents in a separate location in case they get lost or stolen. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some specialty ingredients that might be hard to find in Italy. However, remember that Italy has strict customs regulations about bringing in food and agricultural products. Pack a plug adapter for your electronics, as Italy uses a different type of plug than many other countries. Lastly, consider packing items that will help make your new house feel like home, such as family photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," said another expat in Amalfi, Italy.
