๐ŸŸข ๐Ÿ“ Atrani: The Quiet Spot Where It All Starts

Atrani is a cosy, picture-perfect villageโ€”so small that tourists often miss it. But not Ripley. This is where he slips into Dickieโ€™s shoes, quietly claiming a new identity. You donโ€™t need to forge anyoneโ€™s signature here, thoughโ€”grab a cappuccino at Piazza Umberto I and soak up the sun. โ˜•๐ŸŒž

Quote from Ripley: ``Itโ€™s easy to become someone else when no oneโ€™s paying attention.``

๐Ÿ’ก Fun Tip: Atrani feels like a living postcard. Take a moment to admire its untouched beautyโ€”after all, Ripley did. Just minus the identity theft, of course!

The beauty of Positano adds drama to everything, and youโ€™ll feel it too as you climb the steep streets, taking in the views from Spiaggia Grande.

Quote from Ripley:``The higher you climb, the further you fall.``

โš ๏ธ Fun Tip: The stairs are steep, so take it slowโ€”unlike Ripley, whoโ€™s always in a rush to cover his tracks!
