Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Meet your guide in the morning at the centrally-located Roma Termini railway station. From there, you'll board a high-speed train to Naples, settling into your assigned seats for a relaxing 1-hour journey.
If you choose the Naples departure, the meeting point will be at the station.

Upon arrival in Naples, your expert Neapolitan driver will greet you and guide you on a tour of the Amalfi Coast aboard an air-conditioned minivan. The route begins along the A3 highway, passing the iconic Mt. Vesuvius en route to the Sorrento Coast.

As we drive along the Sorrento Coast, renowned for its lemon groves and the production of the world-famous Limoncello, you'll also see numerous olive trees, as this region is also known for its exquisite olive oil.

Next, the itinerary takes you through the gentle hills of the Monti Lattari range, home to dairies specializing in Mozzarella Fiordilatte. The road to the Amalfi Coast begins here, with dramatic twists and turns high above the cliffs.

The Amalfi Coast stretches nearly 55 km and is a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its Mediterranean landscape, cultural significance, and natural beauty.

The first town you'll visit is Positano, where you'll stop to enjoy the stunning view from a panoramic terrace called "La Terrazza della Madonnina."

After Positano, you'll pass through Praiano, Conca dei Marini, and over the spectacular Furore Fjord bridge, known for its dramatic diving competition.

Your next stop is Amalfi, a village filled with charming architecture and historical sites like the 9th-century Amalfi Cathedral in the main square. After a brief introduction to the town, you'll have free time to explore on your own.

The final leg of your tour will take you back along the coast to Naples, where you'll catch your train back to Rome.

Stop 8

The return journey lasts about 1 hour, with an expected arrival at Roma Termini between 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
