• The Amalfi Coast is a beautiful destination, but like many popular tourist spots, it has its share of scams. Here are some common scams to watch out for:
  • Overcharging: Be cautious of restaurants and bars that might overcharge tourists. Always ask for a written menu and check for any additional charges.
  • Fake Friendship Bracelets: Locals might offer you “friendship” bracelets and then demand payment for them.
  • Pickpockets: Crowded areas and public transportation are prime spots for pickpockets. Keep your belongings secure and be vigilant.
  • Unscrupulous Taxi Drivers: Some taxi drivers might take longer routes to increase the fare. It’s best to agree on a fare before starting the journey.
  • Bogus Tours: Be wary of unsolicited offers for tours or excursions, especially if they seem too good to be true.
  • Fake Police Officers: Scammers might pose as police officers to ask for your documents or money.
  • To avoid these scams, always be aware of your surroundings, use common sense, and don’t hesitate to ask for help if something seems suspicious.
