Detailed itinerary
1
The charm of The villages along the Amalfi Coast lies not only in the towns themselves, but also in their history and their rich legacy of fine churches, villas and monasteries. You’ll travel through these towns on a day trip in a private car, and you can tell your driver how long you wish to stay in each place.
Sorrento with its cliff-top position overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, bustling port, picturesque bays and panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast and surrounding hills, Sorrento has been a favorite resort since Roman times.
Positano sits in a splendid panoramic position on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline. Its enchanting town center of delightful, pastel-hued houses surrounds the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta. Its laneways are lined with quaint, colorful shops and its numerous beaches are world-famous.

Stop 2
Praiano is a small village on the sea which runs down the mountain to the sea. It is the place where the sun sets the latest.
3
Continuing along the coastal road from Praiano you will come across Conca Dei Marini and Furore. The two towns are famous for its two natural gems: The Emerald Grotto in Conca dei Marini and the well known Fiord in Italy is in Furore. The houses in furore are all painted with various decorations and in Conca the famous “Sfogliatella” was invented. (The sfogliatella is pastry made with ricotta and dried fruit).
4
Amalfi's typically Mediterranean architecture, made up of lanes and characteristic white houses piled one on top of the other, makes it one of Italy's most beloved resort towns. Amalfi preserves important evidence of its prestigious past; visit the cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew which dominates the homonymous square.
5
Ravello is situated in a more elevated position than the other pearls of the Amalfi Coast, boasting exceptional views of the coast and its marvelous villas and gardens.
Please note that you will get off the vehicle as close as possible to the heart of the village, which is located in a pedestrian area.
Since this is a Private Tour, you can stay here as long as you like within the 8 hours of the service. If you are not interested in visiting Ravello, you can decide to skip it and spend more time in the previous villages
