Detailed itinerary
1
Be welcomed at the entrance of the Naples Port by our English-speaking driver and follow them to the first-class car or minivan provided with air-conditioned system, to make your tour even more comfortable.
You will visit the small towns that once belonged to the Amalfi Maritime Republic, also known as the Dutch of Amalfi, that ruled the trade over the Mediterranean Sea during the Medieval Age.
Starting from Amalfi, the city where the Limoncello has been invented, do not miss the chance to visit a real limoncello factory and have a sip of the fresh made liqueur. Your papillas will be enraptured by its flavour. Continuing your wander into the city, also visit the amazing Romanic style Cathedral of Saint Andrew, facing the sea, and once you enter the Chiostro del Paradiso, so called for being the graveyard of the prominent families of the city, be impressed by the Arabian influence of the white columns and arches.

You will visit the pearl of the Amalfi coast: Positano.
The city was founded in the VI century and named after the God of the Sea. Important port of the Republic of Amalfi during the Medieval Age, today the town is famous for the beautiful beaches and the deep-blue, clear sea water. But there is more than meets the eyes. As Steinbeck writes into his memoirs: “It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” Get lost into the narrow streets, enter the tiny shops and reach the cliffs over the sea.
Lemon leaves, romantic landscapes, high cliffs and sea as far as the eye can see.
Enjoy this full day driving tour on the road that has become one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The tour lasts 7 to 8 hours, and your driver will be happy to provide you useful tips and all the assistance needed during the day.
