• Amalfi Coast - Description

The shore excursion pick-up in Naples, will reach you at the established place, here we will present ourselves correctly, and then we will head towards Sorrento along the famous road called the “Costiera Amalfitana” or “The Amalfi Coast”.

Sorrento

Our first stop will be made in Sorrento. To reach the international city of Sorrento it is necessary to drive the coastal road to its furthest point. Spectacular views of the entire Gulf of Naples and the island of Capri (which was once joined to Sorrento) are revealed as the Amalfi coast road emerges from above the mountain cliff. A short trip through the city before arriving in the center - an important commercial center for the local population and tourists, with many shops (normally open between 09: 00-13: 00 and from 16:00 - 20:00, approximately) . Sorrento, despite being a city from the past, has an interesting history “Correale di Terranova” museum, which can be visited in the morning, with a stop of about 2 hours

Positano

Starting from Sorrento it takes about 45 minutes to reach Positano, Driving downhill directly through Positano, going down the one-way street unique in its panorama, passing through many local restaurants, leads to the heart of the city - the busy central Piazza dei Mulini, which is connected to a narrow downhill path that leads to the seafront. In Piazza dei Mulini, it is necessary to leave the car as all the roads leading to the promenade are only for pedestrians. These roads also lead to the cathedral, shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes and “Positano fashion” clothing. There is a short walk uphill to get back to the car and this time, going up the mountain, returning to the main coastal road that leads to Amalfi.

Here we are at the destination of our tour, and the right time and the right place to stop in one of the many typical restaurants that are along our itinerary, lunched calmly, we continue along the coastal road, this starts after Sorrento, crosses Positano, the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore and Conca dei Marini, and continue until you reach the crowded square of Amalfi which is located in front of the sea - port and a long stretch of pebble beach. Opposite the port of Amalfi, there is the one and only bus station along the coast. Behind this square is the main shopping street of Amalfi that ends at the farthest and highest point of the city. Along the pedestrian street are various bars and cafes, not to mention the numerous shops selling limoncello, casual wear, swimwear, gifts, basic groceries, and of course, ceramics. However, if you would like to see more than just shops, Amalfi boasts some interesting places to explore: the most spectacular cathedral along the coast, the paper factory and its museum. An uphill walk along a very narrow road that passes several wineries and olive factories etc ….

Amalfi

After stopping in Amalfi, we set off for Ravello, a rural UNESCO heritage village, perched on the top of the mountain cliff located above Amalfi and Minori. Ravello, and famous for its breathtaking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments are best represented in the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. In high season, these gardens are full of blooming secant sweets, shadows of flora and the scent of lemons. There are also many classical music concerts held in the gardens of Villa Rufolo, located just off the main square of Ravello. Apart from the main cathedral, also located in the square, and a history museum built in the basement of the cathedral, there are many other churches to visit as it used to be a total of 13 churches in the country.
