RIPLEY, Netflix’s new hit series, based on Patricia Highsmith’s psychological thriller, “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” has fans flocking to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, where much of the show was filmed.
The streaming series is driving traffic to one particular cliffside town, Atrani, a tiny municipality and comune with a local population of fewer than 1,000 people.
Home-sharing site Airbnb said the series has led to a 93% increase in bookings in Ravello, a city about 15 minutes away from Atrani.
The cobbled (and less crowded) Atrani streets, quaint trattorias and seaside views, as seen in the show, are luring in tourists who are seeking more of an off-the-beaten path experience.
Bookings in nearby Minori also increased 62% on the weekend of the release of RIPLEY, compared with the same weekend one year prior.
