Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Excursion

What You Can Expect

Begin your day trip at your central hotel in Naples or at the city’s train station. Meet your driver and hop aboard your minivan toward Sorrento, the clifftop resort just west of the Amalfi Coast, a 40-mile (64-km) shoreline renowned for its brightly-hued villages and dramatic cliffs. After a relaxing journey, arrive in Sorrento, with an hour of free time to roam at your own pace. Check out the town’s central Piazza Tasso, the 15th-century cathedral or peruse the local shops and cafes. Reunite with your group and continue along the Amalfi Coast, with views of the glimmering Mediterranean and the region’s famous lemon groves.

Arrive in Positano, a town of confetti-colored buildings spread between the cliffs. Enjoy an hour of free time to admire the Church of St Maria Assunta, relax with coffee and a pastry or pick up a souvenir at the chic boutiques and galleries. Your next stop offers an hour in Amalfi, where you can savor some southern Italian fare for lunch (own expense) or visit the impressive 9th-century cathedral. Your final stop takes you higher into the cliffs, to the town of Ravello. Consider using your free hour here to see the 13th-century Villa Rufolo (own expense), with gardens showcasing spectacular views of the coast. Afterward, drive back to Naples, where your trip ends at your original departure point or any city center location of your choosing.
