Stop 2

Enjoy a stroll around this wonderful town and a delicious seaside lunch in the beautiful and charming town of Sorrento, surrounded by sea cliffs and overlooking the spectacular Bay of Naples.
Sorrento is known for its delicious “limoncello” liquor made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water, and sugar.

Stop 3

Positano rests secluded on the slope of its surrounding hills leading down to sandy beaches.
With its dramatic natural setting, stacked pastel-colored Mediterranean style buildings, and blue sea, Positano is by far one of the most picturesque places in Italy.
John Steinbeck rightfully described it as “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone”.
In Positano, you can explore the narrow lanes lined with one of a kind shops, stylish boutiques, and superb cafes. A perfect way to end a perfect day in Amalfi Coast.
