on the Amalfi Coast, you’ll glide along winding cliffside roads with sweeping sea views. Stop at Positano to snap the pastel-houses tumbling down hills toward the water and stroll through charming boutiques. Head to Amalfi, where the grand Duomo di Sant’Andrea dominates Piazza del Duomo — its ornate facade and steep steps make for quick but unforgettable exploration. Finally, pause at Villa Cimbrone in Ravello to stand on the Terrace of Infinity, gazing across treetops to the cerulean sea below. It’s a whirlwind of color, architecture and breathtaking panoramas.
You’ll begin at Piazza Tasso, Sorrento’s buzzing main square: cafés, shops, local color, and the statue of St. Antoninus.
Then, walk to the Duomo of Sorrento (Cattedrale SS. Filippo e Giacomo): admire the ornate façade, the inlaid-wood doors, Renaissance-era interior details and the Romanesque tomb slab with a roaring lion carving.
Next, descend toward Marina Grande, the fishing village by the sea: pastel-houses, wooden boats bobbing in the water, maybe fishermen landing their catch, the rustic pier, sea breeze, and waterfront restaurants.
You’ll catch sweeping views across the bay — Naples or Vesuvius in the distance, cliffs rising behind you, Mediterranean blue under your feet.
It’s a whirlwind tour: architecture, sea life, local flavor, and those unforgettable coastal vistas.
You enter via steep serpentine roads; first view: pastel-houses stacked on cliffs, olive green terraces, blue-green sea stretching into the horizon. Head to Spiaggia Grande, the iconic main beach — umbrellas, beach bars, boats bobbing, people watching. Wander up narrow lanes filled with boutiques full of linen clothes, handmade sandals, lemon-coloured ceramics. Visit the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, its majolica dome glinting in the sun, perched above the beach. Stop at a terrace café for limoncello or lemon sorbet served in a fresh lemon, as you absorb the sea breeze and cliffside panorama.
You arrive at the Piazza del Duomo, where the grand Duomo di Sant’Andrea dominates — its Arab-Norman facade, broad staircase and ornate bronze doors draw your eye.
