Tour Itinerary
- Departure from Naples and Scenic Drive Along the Coast: We begin our journey with a scenic drive from Naples to the Amalfi Coast. Along the way, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the Sorrentine Peninsula and the dramatic cliffs that define this legendary coastline. As we wind our way along the SS163, known as the “Amalfi Drive,” you’ll see how the coastline seemingly rises out of the sea, with villages and villas nestled into the hills.
- Positano: The Jewel of the Coast Our first stop is the charming town of Positano, known for its steep, narrow streets, vibrant houses, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. As you wander through its cobbled lanes, you’ll pass colorful boutiques, local cafés, and terraces with panoramic views of the sea. The town is famous for its artisanal sandals and ceramics, so you’ll have time to explore the shops and enjoy a coffee by the sea. Take a moment to visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its iconic domed tile roof and the revered Byzantine icon of the Madonna della Lampedusa.
- Amalfi: History and the Cathedral of St. Andrew Next, we head to Amalfi, the town from which the coastline takes its name. Amalfi was once a powerful maritime republic, and its Cathedral of St. Andrew (Duomo di Sant’Andrea) is a testament to its grandeur. The cathedral, with its stunning Arab-Norman design and impressive staircase, is a must-see. Inside, you can admire beautiful mosaics, bronze doors, and the relics of St. Andrew, the town’s patron saint. Stroll through the town’s charming streets and explore the lively Piazza del Duomo, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of this historic seaside town. If time permits, relax in one of the seaside cafes and sample a local lemon granita, a refreshing treat made with the region’s famous lemons.
- Ravello: The Garden of the Amalfi Coast Our final stop takes us to Ravello, perched high above the coastline at an altitude of 350 meters. This beautiful town is known for its historic villas and lush gardens, with spectacular views of the coast below. Visit the famous Villa Cimbrone, with its magnificent Terrace of Infinity, offering one of the most iconic views on the Amalfi Coast, or Villa Rufolo, known for its stunning gardens and cultural history. Ravello has been a hub for artists, musicians, and writers for centuries, and its Ravello Festival continues to attract world-class performers. During your visit, you’ll have time to wander the town’s peaceful streets, enjoy a delicious local pastry, and admire its elegant ambiance.
- Return to Naples: After a day filled with beauty and culture, we’ll make our way back to Naples, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or a central location. Along the way, take in the panoramic views of the coastline one last time as you reflect on the day’s experiences.
“Na passeggiata ‘n costa amalfitana t’immerge int’ ‘a bellezza e ‘a tranquillità d’ ‘o mare.”
