Detailed itinerary

We will take you for a drive along the most famous and beautiful coastlines in the world, hilly roads with gorgeous views until we reach the village of Positano. Positano’s geographical location contributes to making it a place that is rich in history and natural beauty. Your chauffeur will drive near Piazza “Dei Mulini,” which is the very last point that is accessible by vehicle. From this point, you will need to walk for about one hour to fully enjoy all of the picturesque homes and shops. While doing so, you will be pleasantly surprised to find yourself very close to the gorgeous waterfront.

Stop 2

Driving along the coast from Positano to Amalfi, we will go through Praiano, Fiordo di Furore, and Conca dei Marini. Here we find the Green Grotto, also known as the Emerald Grotto, for its green fluorescent water. The grotto, when open is visitable, but you can decide once you are there if you wish to take a ride or not.

We finally get in Amalfi, the city that gives the name to the all of the coast. Among the things to see in Amalfi, the Cathedral of San Andreas is the most breathtaking monument to see.

From Amalfi we will start to drive up on the hill towards the so called "City of Music" Ravello. Definitely the most romantic of the cities, with a unique view of all the Amalfi Coast.
