Amalfi Drive Itinerary
A wonderfully relaxing day enjoying the breathtaking scenery along the famous Amalfi coastal road with each bend revealing superb panoramic views and towns and villages perched above the sea. The first main town you come across will be the famous and romantic Positano where gravity doesn't seem to apply to the multi coloured houses and their swimming pools. If possible you may be given the opportunity to take some photographs before continuing along the coastal road towards Amalfi. You will pass Priano with its mountainous background and views of Li Galli islands, and in the distance Capri before reaching Conca dei Marini where, weather permitting, you can admire the local pottery.

Then onto Amalfi where you will have about an hour and a half free time to explore this historic and beautiful town with its medieval Cathedral, shops and cafes. Take the opportunity to enjoy an ice cream or coffee overlooking the beach and ferry platform with a regular service between Sorrento and other locations should you wish to return for a longer visit.

The journey then continues along the coastal road rising to about 300 metres above the sea where you will discover Ravello and even more spectacular views which have inspired so many artists including Richard Wagner. You will have time for lunch and to explore this medieval village including the Cathedral of St. Pantaleone and the Villa Rufulo which hosts a music festival every year from April to October with outdoor concerts performed against a background of sea and sky. Finally the return journey takes you through the Chiunzi valley before joining the motorway to reach Sorrento around 17.30.
