Historic Rome To Sorrento Coastal Bliss Tour

  • In-depth Cultural

Historic Rome To Sorrento Coastal Bliss

Day tours were good, express way of seeing the areas. Transportation was good. Rome hotel could be more central. Sorrento was really nice, nice views. Mix up with the double room/twin bed room was the only hiccup, no solution/apology given by hotel or Tourradar. Recommend guided tour for Pompeii, audio tour was not a great option.

Local Living Italy—Sorrento Tour

Local Living Italy—Sorrento

Touring the coast was good. A little difficult to navigate if you are older or have some difficulty walking. The lemon farm was a little isolated and a bit of a walk to the road to catch a bus if you wanted to explore the area. The lemon farm had beautiful views. The rooms were nice but needs some upgrading and repairs in some areas. The breakfast was disappointing and some of the food was a little cold. We did not know that you needed to purchase wine from the farm. It was a little overpriced. The owners and staff were very nice people and our tour guide Anna was very nice. I think this tour is more for young people.

Amalfi Coast Experience Tour

Amalfi Coast Experience

This tour was an incredible experience! Our tour guides, Giovanni and Anastascia, were so welcoming, kind and helpful. I enjoyed everything they shared about Italy and the Amalfi Coast. They went above and beyond. The places they took us to were amazing as well- Capri, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Naples. The value of this trip is well worth the cost. Be prepared for a fair bit of walking/exercise. I would highly recommend!

Excellent! One Of The Best solo trip ever..

ROME & AMALFI COAST - 7 Days/ 6 Nights Tour

ROME & AMALFI COAST - 7 Days/ 6 Nights

My guides: Antonio, Emma. My travel experience with them was the best I’ve ever had- extremely helpful and knowledgeable of Italian history, culture, and store/restaurant recommendations. Great communication from them in terms of logistics as well. Hit a solid balance between group time and time for individual roaming in the many areas I toured. I traveled by myself on this tour and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable. Great value for the money; I can’t recommend this tour and these guides enough.

Sorrento, Pompei, Amalfi and Positano: 4 days escape from Rome Tour

Sorrento, Pompei, Amalfi and Positano: 4 days escape from Rome

Overall it was good, however, when we went to capri there were 2 groups of us for one guide. The other group was delayed over 40 minutes and we waited at the pier. This reduced our time on capri. We spent 1.5 hours waiting at the pier instead of exploring capri.

Walking the Amalfi Coast Tour

  • Hiking & Trekking
  • Coastal Walks

Walking the Amalfi Coast

Such a great experience! The hikes were awesome; picturesque and captivating. I believe this was the best way to explore the Amalfi coast line by getting the local tour guide who knows these paths so well to lead us through them. Needs a descent fitness level for these hikes as sadly there were elderly people and people in average physical condition that had to pull out of the hikes as early as day 1 which is very unfortunate for them. Thank you so much, I had the best experience and loved every minute. I’m so grateful for the amazing people I met.

Amalfi Coast Walking - Agriturismo Tour

Amalfi Coast Walking - Agriturismo

The tour was good but the activity level needs to be revised to moderate to difficult for some of the hiking parts. I learned by experience that I will only book directly with the tour company offering the trip. Was difficult to communicate through a third party. Did not realize this was not actually the tour company when booking through Tourradar. Our guide Genaro was lovely and being local was educational regarding his homeland.

Amazing! From communicating with with staff at tourradar to tour. Everything about this package was absolutely perfect. Highlights of Amalfi, our tour guide severio

Italy Family Holiday Tour

Italy Family Holiday

I took my 12 year old son on the Intrepid Family Adventure. We had an amazing time. The guide was helpful, considerate and lots of fun. Playing games with the kids in the pool and making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The pace was fantastic for a family with the mornings full of exploring with the group and the afternoons reserved for free time for families to spend together. Our highlight was the sailing trip to Capri. Can't recommend highly enough

Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast Tour

Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast

This was my first tour and I'm happy to say it exceeded all my expectations. It was exactly the type of holiday I wanted, hiking in beautiful scenery with good company and fabulous food. The food was absolutely fantastic - homemade and some homegrown. The hosts at our accommodations were wonderful and did so much extra for us. Our guide was a perfect for this trip, and she helped make a great itinerary even better. I am already planning my next tour and have recommended this to many people already.

Flavors of Italy & Amalfi Coast Tour

Flavors of Italy & Amalfi Coast

Enjoyed this tour. Accommodation was nice and travel voucher had most of the information needed. One thing which we were disappointed with was being referred to use the emergency number even for critical scheduling information, such as the bus time for the group included tour. This information should be relayed ahead of time to us, instead we had to actually seek it out ourselves. Thanks to Anne from Wingbuddy for helping communicate important information to us throughout the tour, much appreciated!

Iconic Italy National Geographic Journeys Tour

Iconic Italy National Geographic Journeys

The tour was fantastic. The only one issue we had was that one of the reasons we booked Iconic Italy was because it included the Walk of the Gods hike in Amalfi. We were told right before the hike that it was closed despite having no rain in the forecast. We met a couple later that night who had done that exact hike in the morning. We understood that the hike is weather permitting but very disappointed since we feel like we were lied to as the hike wasn’t closed and we could’ve done it on our own. Despite that one incident, we had an amazing trip. Lots of free time included which is nice.

Carla was very kind and helpful on our tour
The accommodation was a bit too small but wasn’t as big a deal as we were out for most of the day. Overall, it was an amazing experience and a great way to make new friends!

By land or sea: a selection of the top Amalfi Coast tours led by professional local driver, skippers, and guides

Explore Italy's most magnificent coastline by boat, car, or on foot with a local and discover the hidden gems of the Amalfi Coast.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

How do i get around the amalfi coast.

The towns along the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento are all along the Sita bus route, but the buses are often late and crowded. From April to October, there are also ferry routes between Positano, Amalfi, Maiori, and other towns along the coast. We do not suggest driving, due to the heavy traffic and limited parking. If you are traveling as a couple, a rental scooter is a convenient way to get around (but only if you have experience driving a scooter).

How do I get to the Amalfi Coast

Public transportation: From Naples' main train station (Stazione Centrale, take the local Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento (1 hour ride); at the Sorrento station, take the Sita bus to the Amalfi Coast (1 to 2 hours). From the Naples Capodichino airport, take the Curreri airport shuttle to Sorrento (80 min.) and then the Sita bus to the Amalfi Coast.

Private transfer: Take a private transfer from the train station or airport to the Amalfi Coast (90 min.). This is the easiest option, especially if you have luggage. It's especially worth the price for groups of 4 to 6 passengers. How to Get to the Amalfi Coast

Can I get to the Amalfi Coast by car? Is there parking?

Highway 163 that runs between all the towns and villages along the coast is one of the most panoramic and photographed roads in the world. You can drive along the Amalfi Coast, but parking is limited and expensive (€8/hour).

Image Gallery

On a launch approaching the Amalfi Coast at the start of our tours, you face a startling sight— like oversized rock climbers, gleaming villas cling with no visible foothold to the sheer cliffs. You have to ask yourself how…why? But when you swing open the shutters in your cliffside hotel room, the jaw-dropping view is all the answer you need. Situated on the "ankle" of the Italian boot, Amalfi has a balmy climate. Orange trees line village streets. Breezy seaside footpaths around Positano encourage a nice slow pace perfect for absorbing the atmosphere. We also settle in for two mellow days on the glorious island of Capri—one of our favorite places in Italy. We make time for Pompeii, and unlike most visitors, you'll see Amalfi in the best way—in the company of an Italian friend who knows the ins and outs of life on the edge of the sea. See Sicily, too! Our Sicily tour starts the day after Amalfi ends. Pair up the two for an amazing Italian vacation. Call 800.200.3887 for details.

  • Trace ancient footsteps in Pompeii, during a private, archeologist-led exploration of the city’s excavation 
  • Experience Capri as only the locals do, with two leisurely overnights in a luxurious hotel overlooking Roman emperor Tiberius’ villa and the sparkling blue sea  
  • Hike to a 14th-century monastery atop Monte Solaro for Capri’s most iconic vista: the striking Faraglioni rising from the sea
  • Walk through scenic fields of terraced wildflowers past wild goats
  • Follow a centuries-old footpath with lemon trees and waterfalls then stroll through the gardens of Villa Cimbrone 
  • Walk along the aptly named “Path of the Gods” trail with its stupendous coastal views
  • Visit a tiny limoncello factory to see how the local lemon liquor is made
  • From Positano, follow the coast to a pizza-making instruction overlooking the sea

Travel Tips for Taking an Amalfi Coast Boat Tour

  • Choose the Perfect Time: The Amalfi Coast tends to be less crowded during the shoulder seasons (April to June and September to October). The weather is still warm, and you’ll avoid the summer rush.
  • Dress Appropriately: Be ready to get a tad wet! Bring along a windbreaker or light jacket to protect yourself from the spray, and don’t forget your swimsuit if you plan on swimming.
  • Bring Sun Protection: The Mediterranean sun is very strong. Hats, sunglasses, and a good sunscreen are must-haves.
  • Stay Hydrated: It’s easy to forget about hydration when the limoncello is flowing, but no one wants to end up with heat exhaustion. Bring along bottled water to keep dehydration at bay.
  • Don’t Forget Your Camera: The views are breathtaking and you’ll want to capture them, but just make sure you have a dry bag to put it in when not in use.
  • Check Weather Forecasts: Sea conditions can change rapidly, so it’s always a good idea to check the weather before your tour. If it’s not looking like ideal weather, you can always contact your operator about rescheduling.
  • Consider a Private Tour: If you are traveling in a group or want a more personalized experience, consider booking a private boat tour. It’ll be more expensive, but it can be quite romantic if you’re traveling with your partner or way more fun in my opinion if you have a big group of your friends going.
  • Respect the Sea: Remember, you’re a guest in a natural environment. Always follow the instructions of your guide, keep the sea clean, and respect marine life. No trash should end up off the boat!

FAQ: Amalfi Coast Boat Tours

In this section, I’ll be providing some helpful information for your boat excursion around the Amalfi Coast including the average cost of a boat tour, how long the tours are, and even if you’re allowed to rent your own boat for the day!

Is a Boat Tour on the Amalfi Coast Worth It?

Many Amalfi Coast boat tours drive you around a large part of the coastline

A boat tour of the Amalfi Coast is undoubtedly worth it. It offers a distinctive perspective of the region’s stunning beauty from its dramatic cliffs and sparkling turquoise waters to its picturesque coastal towns.

Apart from the impressive sights, many tours also include opportunities to swim or snorkel in the clear Mediterranean waters, explore captivating sea caves, or even stop at popular sites like the island of Capri.

A boat tour is a fantastic way to experience the best of what the Amalfi Coast has to offer, delivering a memorable adventure that’s well worth the investment.

How Much is a Boat Tour on the Amalfi Coast?

The cost of a boat tour on the Amalfi Coast can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors including the duration, the time of year, if food or beverages are included, and whether it’s a private or group tour. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $500 per person.

I’m not going to lie to you… some luxury private tours can even exceed this range! There’s no doubting that Amalfi boat tours will cost you a pretty penny, but you can make it more affordable by choosing a group tour with fewer inclusions.

It’s also worth noting that if you do choose a tour with more inclusions, sure… it’s going to cost more, but these complimentary refreshments, snorkeling gear, or expert skipper may be the difference in your overall experience and could end up making the cost more worthwhile.

How Long is a Boat Ride to Capri from Amalfi?

coast amalfi tour

The boat ride length from Amalfi to Capri can vary depending on the type of boat and the weather, but on average, it typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours (though you will likely see estimates of between 1-3 hours).

This can stretch to 2 hours or more if the tour includes sightseeing stops along the way or the sea is rough. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to check the specific details with the tour operator when you book and follow up with them the day prior to departure.

Is it Better to See the Amalfi Coast by Car or Boat?

Seeing the Amalfi Coast by boat presents a uniquely breathtaking perspective that a car journey simply cannot offer. The undulating coastline reveals hidden coves, secluded beaches, and dramatic cliff faces only visible from the water.

Of course, you can’t spend your entire visit on a boat, but I would certainly say it’s a “piece of the puzzle” so to speak, that shouldn’t be overlooked.

A car journey also allows for spontaneous stops at charming coastal towns, local eateries, and panoramic viewpoints, providing a more intimate feel of the region’s culture and lifestyle. They allow you to be entirely on your own time and provide the flexibility that you miss on a group tour.

Ultimately, both options deliver distinct and worthwhile experiences, but do your best to get out on the water even if it’s only for an hour or two!

How Much Does a Private Boat Tour to Capri Cost?

From Positano Beach, you'll see numerous Amalfi Coast boat tours happening out on the water

The cost of a private boat tour to Capri can vary greatly depending on factors, but on average, a private boat tour to Capri may cost between $500 to over $1000 per group.

Luxury tours featuring larger boats, gourmet meals, or limoncello, can cost significantly more (think $2,000-$3,000 USD).

Can I Rent My Own Boat and Drive it Around the Amalfi Coast?

Yes, renting your own boat is an option for exploring the Amalfi Coast. Numerous rental agencies along the coast offer a range of boats for hire, from small motorboats to luxury yachts. No special license is required for small boats, making it an accessible choice for many visitors.

It’s an exciting way to set your own pace, explore less crowded areas, and have a personalized adventure. However, it’s imperative to keep in mind that you’ll – quite literally – be navigating unchartered waters on your own, so you’ll want to have experience with driving boats on the ocean, in narrow, busy areas with numerous other boaters and swimmers around, all while being aware of the local maritime rules to ensure everyone’s safety on the water.

Keep in mind that boat availability can be limited during peak tourist season, so booking in advance is advisable.

Pssst… if you want to enjoy Capri or Positano by consistently sipping on local beers and limoncello while baking in the hot sun all day, please join a tour and pay a skipper – don’t try to drive yourself! You’ll remove your liability and no one will have to worry about who the designated driver is going to be – everyone in your group can let loose and have fun! Sure, it’s more expensive, but it will keep everyone safe and if you split the cost between everyone in your group it can actually be quite reasonable.

16 tips for planning your trip to the Amalfi Coast

Helena Smith

Apr 2, 2022 • 6 min read

Positano beach, Amalfi coast, Italy

Italy's Amalfi Coast lures visitors from around the world © MNStudio / Shutterstock

The vertiginous and craggy Amalfi Coast and its three island outposts of Capri, Ischia and Procida have been a magnet for visitors since Roman times.

Hemmed in by high mountains, the coastal towns on this seafront stretch are physically unspoiled, and they retain an evergreen appeal despite the inevitable tour groups. If you avoid high summer, when visitors arrive in peak numbers, a trip here will be a scenic, artistic and culinary delight.

From where to visit and when to enjoy the best weather to how to get around, here’s all you need to know as you plan your fantasy trip to the Amalfi Coast.

Best places to visit on the Amalfi Coast

Feel the timeless pull of sorrento.

A small resort with a big reputation, Sorrento is a town of lemons, high-pedigree hotels and plunging cliffs that cut through the heart of its historical core. Tourism has a long history here: Sorrento was a compulsory stop on the 19th-century “Grand Tour,” interest in the town having first been sparked by the poet Byron. A long line of vacationing literary geniuses followed in his footsteps to take the warm Sorrentine air. The romance still persists.

Morning view of Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy

Savor the photogenic drama of Positano

Dramatic, deluxe and more than a little dashing, Positano is the Amalfi Coast’s front-cover splash, with vertiginous houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta. No less photo-worthy are its steep streets and steps, flanked by wisteria-draped hotels, smart restaurants and fashionable retailers.

Visit Capri for timeless and beautiful luxury

Capri is beautiful – seriously beautiful. Steep cliffs rise majestically from an impossibly blue sea; elegant villas drip with wisteria and bougainvillea; and even the trees seem to be carefully manicured. Long a preserve of celebrities and the super-rich, this small, precipitous island off the west end of the Sorrento Peninsula has a tangibly deluxe feel.

Postcard view of the famous Amalfi Coast from Ravello, Italy

Enjoy some of Europe’s best hotels at Ravello

A hilltop garden paradise, Ravello is famous for its music festival and incomparably swish hotels. Founded in the 5th century as a sanctuary from barbarian invaders fresh from sacking Rome, this lofty Amalfi town was built, in contrast to other Amalfi settlements, at the top of a hill rather than down on the coast. It’s second only to Positano in its style and glamour.

Painted wall in Pompeii, which was destroyed in 79 AD by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius

Get a taste of ancient life at Pompeii

The ruins of Pompeii are a veritable time machine, hurling visitors back to the time of emperors and Latin chatter. Here, time remains paused at 79 CE, the city's frescoed homes, businesses and baths still waiting for their occupants to return. Few archaeological sites offer such an intimate connection to the past, and few are as deeply haunting and evocative.

When to go to the Amalfi Coast

On the Amalfi Coast (as everywhere), picking the perfect time to visit makes any trip better. Here’s a seasonal breakdown of what it’s like to visit the Amalfi Coast in each season.

Expect wildflowers and fewer crowds in spring

Spring is wonderful in this region, as swaths of bright wildflowers dot the landscape. June generally delivers summer heat without the August crowds and traffic.

Summer is peak season for culture – and crowds

This is a great time for cultural events, but high summer sees narrow coastal roads clogged, soaring temperatures and the occasional frayed temper. It’s best to avoid July and August, which is the month that many Italians take for their annual vacations.

Consider fall for optimal hiking and swimming

You can find decent deals on accommodations in fall after school starts and many people are back to work. It’s a great time for hiking and swimming, as the weather and water remain pleasantly temperate. Bountiful seasonal produce includes mushrooms, black truffles and chestnuts.

Things get sleepy come winter

Many hotels, restaurants and attractions are firmly closed from November until Easter. Boat and ferry services are limited.

When is the best time to go to Italy?

People on the beach at Positano on the Amalfi Coast, Italy

Where to stay on the Amalfi Coast

The Italian region of Campania has been looking after visitors for centuries. Competition is fierce, and standards of service are high. Whether you’re honeymooning or backpacking, you’re likely to find a warm welcome, enhanced by a room decked out with local tiles and maybe even a lush garden.

With five days, you can take in the highlights of the Amalfi Coast. Consider a night or two on the volcanic garden island of Ischia , then spending the rest of your time at one of the coastal gems – Sorrento, Positano or Amalfi – with day trips to explore the splendors of Pompeii, Ravello’s gardens and some mountain scenery. At any time of year, it’s best to book ahead; bear in mind that demand for rooms is sky high in the summer.

The region does high-end tourism like nowhere else. Some of our favorite posh accommodation options include the venerable Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento and Capri’s opulent Grand Hotel Quisisana . Midrange B&Bs also excel: we’ve happily laid our heads at Casa Giovanni da Procida , La Fenice in Positano and hillside Ercole di Amalfi . There are some great hostel and camping options too: try Positano’s Hostel Brikette or beachside Camping Mirage on Ischia.

Boat in the water on the Amalfi Coast, Italy

Best things to do on the Amalfi Coast

Nothing beats renting a boat.

Nothing makes you feel more like a millionaire than having your own boat, even if it’s just for a couple of hours. Try Banana Sport if you’d like to make a sea circuit of Capri.

Go swimming in the azure Mediterranean

From Ischia’s thermal beaches to Positano’s Spiaggia di Fornillo, the Amalfi Coast is perfect for water babies. Just be careful how deep you dip your toes into the hot spring at Baia di Sorgeto  – the water is thermally heated.

Hikers on the Sentiero Degli Dei (Path of the Gods) on the Amalfi Coast, Italy

Walk the Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei)

You need strong legs and a head for heights to walk the legendary Path of the Gods , which offers dizzying sea views.

Feast on just-caught seafood

You’ll find spaghetti alle vongole (with fresh clams) on practically every menu in the region. Another seafood special is tuna, best eaten in Cetara , which hosts an annual tuna festival.

How to get to and around the Amalfi Coast

While most visitors fly into Naples , taking an overnight train is a romantic and eco-friendly alternative from many European cities. 

Driving through the region can be a hectic experience. It’s best to get around by public transport or hiring a driver –  unless you have a penchant for zigzag bends, cavalier passing and buses swinging at you from the opposite direction.  A network of ferries connects the coastal towns along the Amalfi Coast with Salerno, Sorrento and Capri. Connections to Naples, Ischia and Procida can be made via Sorrento or Capri.

The Circumvesuviana train line connects Naples with Herculaneum, Pompeii and Sorrento – it’s scruffy but fairly efficient and extremely cheap. As an alternative, take the Campania Express train. It is a bit more expensive and runs less frequently, but as it stops only in Naples, Herculaneum, Pompeii and Sorrento it makes for a much more pleasant journey. Nipping up and down the coast, circling Ischia and linking Capri’s towns, buses are a bargain – although some travelers might find the local driving style and crowds a little hard to stomach.

Over the decades, the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jean Paul Sartre and many others have passed through the marble lobby and admired the surrounding natural beauty of the hotel's manicured park.

Capri by convertible car

A private convertible car whisks you across enchanting capri for awe-inspiring views.

Once an imperial vacation spot where Roman emperors and their entourages spent their summers, the legendary island of Capri – situated across the Gulf of Naples from the city of Sorrento – has during more recent centuries become famous as a fashionable retreat for writers, artists, composers, and international celebrities. On your visit to this enchanted isle, you'll be chauffeured like a jet-setter across the island's famous clifftop roads in a private convertible car for sightseeing amidst Capri's picturesque towns and historic villas, lush garden terraces with panoramic views of the sea, and breathtaking rock formations along the coast.

Discover Aragonese Castle

Explore the aragonese castle, a hilltop fortress linked by a bridge to the historic island of ischia.

Occupying the summit of a rugged volcanic islet that today is connected by a causeway (Ponte Aragonese) to the larger island of Ischia, the imposing Aragonese Castle was originally constructed by Hiero I of Syracuse around 474 BC, employing two towers to control the movements of enemy fleets. About a century and a half later, the fortress was captured first by the Romans, and then by the Parthenopeans, and altered continuously throughout the centuries. During the 1400s, the first stone bridge linking the rock to the island of Ischia was built by Alfonso V of Aragon, who also fortified the fortress' walls to ward off attacks by pirates; you'll visit the well-preserved castle with a local guide.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally, no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Italy. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of Italy to determine what vaccinations may be required for your travel.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

This journey is paced to accommodate all our guests. It is, nonetheless, an active and extensive tour. To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion. Italy is home to innumerable historic buildings and sites, some dating from antiquity. Therefore, roads, walkways and architecture will present difficulties for some guests with physical limitations. You will encounter cobblestone streets, narrow passageways, and some steep and winding staircases.

In addition, coach travel along the many "Yellow Roads" on this tour are very windy and may cause you some discomfort if you are prone to motion sickness. If you are, we advise bringing motion sickness remedies or medication with you.

PLEASE NOTE:  We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters.  Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

You can view the reading list  here.

The weather in Italy is temperate and unpredictable. Generally, April through June average high temperatures range from 64 to 79°F (18 to 26°C), July through September, 78 to 85°F (26 to 29°C), though temperatures are frequently over 90°F (32°C) in summer, and October through December, 56 to 71°F (13 to 22°C).

What To Pack

Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with Necessary Gear who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .

When packing for your trip to Italy, it is important to keep in mind the time of year you are traveling and the current weather conditions for that time. The weather in Italy is temperate and unpredictable. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing.

In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket for men are acceptable dining attire. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts for dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.

Most Catholic churches in Italy require that your knees and shoulders be covered when you enter, even during the hot days of summer. This is particularly important when you visit St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, where shorts, tank tops and other off-the-shoulder tops are not allowed.

You will find a hair dryer located in your hotel guest room. By law in Italy, irons and ironing boards are not made available to guests at hotels. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your trip to Italy:

  • Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
  • An optional jacket and tie for men
  • Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
  • A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
  • Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
  • Insect repellent
  • Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
  • Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
  • Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
  • Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
  • Daypack for camera equipment
  • Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
  • Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling

Unveiling the Magic: Top Things to Do on the Amalfi Coast

E ver dreamt of picturesque cliffside villages, lemon groves, and turquoise waters? Well, the Amalfi Coast promises all this and so much more. But with such vast beauty and culture, where does one begin?

Problem: The overwhelming options of Amalfi can be daunting.

Agitate: From local eateries to historical gems, missing out on key experiences can leave one regretful.

Solve: But fear not! We're here to guide you through the best of Amalfi, ensuring you capture its essence in every moment.

TL;DR - Key Takeaways

  • Almost 90% of visitors rank Amalfi as an excellent travel spot.
  • Discover the hidden marvel, Fiordo di Furore.
  • John Steinbeck’s iconic quote captures the Amalfi enchantment.

Embarking on an Amalfi Adventure

Ensconced in Italy’s rugged coastline, the Amalfi Coast is more than just a travel destination; it's a journey of cultural exploration and nature's splendor.

The Praise of the Majority

With almost 90% of travelers on Tripadvisor giving a nod of excellence to their Amalfi experience, it’s evident that this Italian marvel never disappoints.

Hidden Treasures and Beach Wonders

Away from the touristy hustle, venture into the world’s wonders like "Fiordo di Furore" . This hidden gem is not your regular sandy retreat but a marvel where mountains and sea coalesce, creating one of the most beautiful fjords on earth.

Legends Speak

As John Steinbeck profoundly articulated, the Amalfi Coast isn’t just a place but an emotion that lingers even after one departs. The whimsical Positano, with its cascading homes and serpentine alleys, plays muse to many, evoking deep sentiments.

Dive Deeper with Flora’s Insider Tips:

While most travelogues might point you to popular spots, Flora Goodwin lets you in on some lesser-known experiences. How about an evening stroll in Ravello's gardens? Or maybe a culinary adventure where you learn to make the authentic Limoncello?

Unspoken Ethics in Travels

While the Amalfi Coast promises unbridled beauty, responsible and ethical tourism ensures this paradise remains unspoiled for generations. By respecting local customs and eco-guidelines, travelers can contribute to preserving this Italian treasure.

A Culinary Journey Through Amalfi

The Amalfi Coast isn’t just a treat for the eyes; it's a gastronomic paradise waiting to tantalize your taste buds. Start your day with a cup of robust Italian espresso, paired with a fresh sfogliatella , a delicate pastry oozing with sweet ricotta and citrus zest. As the sun climbs higher, make your way to a local trattoria. Here, indulge in Spaghetti alle Vongole , a simple yet flavorful dish made with clams, garlic, and a splash of white wine.

Fishermen’s Tales and Seafood Galore

The Amalfi Coast's proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea means seafood is a staple. Restaurants serve fresh catches daily, ensuring you get the very essence of the sea on your plate. A must-try is the Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare , a handmade pasta brimming with mussels, clams, squid, and prawns, bathed in a rich tomato sauce with a hint of chili.

The Lemon Dreams

No visit to Amalfi is complete without diving into its lemon-infused delights. The world-famous Limoncello , a lemon liqueur, is both a perfect aperitif and a digestive. For those with a sweet tooth, the lemon sorbets served in actual lemon peels are a refreshing treat that captures the very soul of Amalfi – vibrant, tangy, and unforgettable.

Concluding Amalfi Whispers

The Amalfi Coast isn’t just a place on the map; it’s a symphony of cultural tales, gastronomic wonders, and nature's poetry. It beckons with open arms, promising memories that last a lifetime.

What’s the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast?

Spring and early autumn. The weather is pleasant, and tourist crowds are thinner.

Is driving recommended along the coast?

Though scenic, the roads are narrow and winding. If unfamiliar, public transport or tours might be safer.

Any local dishes to recommend?

Absolutely! Don’t miss out on Delizia al Limone, a local lemon dessert.

Are there any local festivals?

Yes, the Festival of Sant'Andrea in Amalfi and the Positano Black Madonna Festival are notable.

Can I take a boat tour?

Certainly. Boat tours provide a unique perspective of the coast, revealing hidden coves and beaches.

Best Amalfi Coast Towns to Visit

Best time to visit the amalfi coast, how to get to the amalfi coast.

The allure of the Amalfi Coast has drawn people to the region that is now Italy for centuries. Its dramatic landscapes and idyllic weather enticed ancient Roman nobles to build their villas there, and the high-end real estate trend never faded. Today, the mountains and cliffs remain dotted with breathtaking historic houses perched above the crystalline waters, making the coastline one of the most sought-after destinations in the world. Coastal Campania, the area that includes the Amalfi Coast and the islands of Capri and Ischia, has seen a wave of new hotels opening over the last few years, making it one of Travel + Leisure ’s 50 best places to travel in 2024 .

Its fragile cultural landscape — churches, gardens, vineyards, and towns — is divided into 16 municipalities and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi are the area's top destinations, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, but it’s also worth getting off the beaten path to explore smaller towns like Vietri sul Mare and Nerano. Unfortunately, the Amalfi Coast is a bit of a victim of its own success, and in recent years has made headlines for overcrowding and the ensuing traffic jams. That doesn’t mean you should avoid it, though — you just have to be a bit strategic about when and where you go. Here's how you can navigate this fabled coast like an expert.

samael334/Getty Images

Top 5 Can’t Miss

  • Le Sirenuse in Positano is a legendary family-run hotel immortalized by John Steinbeck.
  • Head up into the hills of Ravello to take in the spectacular views from Villa Cimbrone.
  • Don’t miss the local pastries and gelato at Pasticceria Pansa in the center of Amalfi.
  • Shopping for ceramics is a must on the coast, and the best place to get them is Solimene in Vietri sul Mare.
  • Savor an aperitivo at Palazzo Avino’s glamorous Lobster & Martini Bar.

If you've seen the Amalfi Coast on Instagram, chances are you've seen Positano. With its brightly colored houses spilling over cliffs around the bay, and dramatic mountains rearing up in the background, the village is picture-perfect.

Best Hotels in Positano

Le Sirenuse is a Positano institution, terraced into the cliffs with spectacular views of the beach. It's a feast for the eyes, surrounded by exquisite tile work, lemon trees, and plentiful art. Run by the second and third generation of the Sersale family, this member of the Leading Hotels of the World is known for its glamorous pool, delicious cuisine, and warm southern Italian hospitality, which have earned it a spot in T+L's World’s Best Awards in 2022 and 2023.

Book a room at the four-star Hotel Poseidon to immerse yourself in Positano's bohemian flair. Family-owned since it opened in the 1950s, this property is laid-back and friendly. Vintage-style rooms are large, and all but one overlook the town and sea from private balconies. Perched above the center of Positano, it's removed enough to avoid the tourist crowds, but still a quick walk down to the action.

If you prefer to stay right in the center of it all, the charming Hotel Palazzo Murat is located in the pedestrian zone by the waterfront. While it lacks the knockout views of higher-up hotels, its sizable private courtyard planted with palms and fragrant flowering vines is a lovely place for a candlelit aperitif.

Best Things to Do in Positano

When in Italy, learn how to cook as the Italians do. Buca di Bacco is a hotel that offers cooking classes to visitors. During these lessons, offered daily, trainees help chefs prepare regional appetizers and first and second courses.

For history enthusiasts: Mar , the Roman Archeological Museum, is a stunning Roman villa beneath the town's bell tower. The relic has undergone excavations for a decade and only opened to the public in 2018. Restoration work continues, but the colorful frescoes are primed for admiration and worth the visit alone.

Positano is also the endpoint for one of Italy's most stunning hiking trails. Hemmed into the mountains above the coast, the Path of the Gods is a gentle, four-hour hike that snakes high above the sea. It starts outside the village of Bomerano and runs west of Amalfi, to Nocelle, then to Positano.

Best Shopping in Positano

Travelers can find shops selling locally made linen clothes and tailored vintage styles. Positano is particularly known for its handcrafted sandals — try Nanà , where the Ruocco family has been making them to measure for generations.

Francesco Sersale, a third-generation owner of Le Sirenuse, recommends Emporio Sirenuse , which sells caftans and swimwear, as well as home design items like hand-painted ceramics and the glass tumblers used at Aldo’s bar. “Also, Safari Club in the center of town makes custom sandals shaped around your foot in one hour,” he says.

Best Restaurants in Positano

At Michelin-starred restaurant Zass , chef Alois Vanlangenaeker builds artful culinary creations from fruits and vegetables grown on the property, local meats, and seafood caught fresh each day. Hotel Poseidon's Il Tridente may not have a Michelin star (the owners deliberately avoid making this a hot spot to keep the familial atmosphere), but it's also exceptional. You'll eat local dishes, like the sublime shrimp carpaccio, off crockery hand-painted in Vietri sul Mare.

Another place to try is Da Vincenzo . Since 1958, the family-owned restaurant has served regional seafood and pasta dishes, like rigatoni alla Genovese and cod cooked in oil and Amalfi lemon peel. Le Tre Sorelle , a more affordable dining option located on the beach, is consistently good and has served traditional Amalfitano dishes since 1953.

“One of my favorite restaurants I’ve been visiting since childhood and has remained authentic and absolutely delicious is Da Adolfo ,” says Sersale, who recommends the zuppa di cozze (mussels soup). This casual restaurant and beach club is located on a small cove a five-minute boat ride from the center of Positano.

Amalfi is the largest town on its namesake coast. It serves as a major intersection for nearly all the buses, boats, and ferries shuttling tourists between the islands and towns, which means the crowds can be overwhelming. Many would argue that the town's ninth-century Duomo di Amalfi makes the swarms of tourists worth braving, though. The church is treasured for its collision of various architectural styles and materials — it draws on Arab-Norman, Romanesque, Byzantine, and Rococo designs.

Best Hotels in Amalfi

The Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel , a converted 13th-century monastery, sits high up on the cliffs like a white palace. It's an eight-minute walk from Amalfi and has two restaurants, a pool area, a gym, and a spa. Those who drive to Amalfi will appreciate the hotel's on-site valet parking.

A bit further west, Hotel Santa Caterina provides an excellent buffer from the hectic summer crowds. The property has a beach club with a pool and a sun deck with views of the town. The rooms and suites, most with small terraces and sea views, are few, which makes this exclusive member of the Leading Hotels of the World more intimate. It’s a favorite of Sersale, and T+L readers agree — they named it one of the top resorts in Italy in the 2023 World’s Best Awards .

Borgo Santandrea , which opened in 2021 two miles west of town, features a fresh, modern take on Amalfi style that combines mid-century and Mediterranean design. One of its major highlights is the elevator that rides down the cliff to a private beach complete with a restaurant.

Best Things to Do in Amalfi

Amalfi used to vie with Venice and Genoa as one of the three maritime republics of the Italian Peninsula, and if you look past the shops selling lemon soaps, limoncello, and Amalfi tea towels, you'll see some fascinating remnants of history. The Museo della Carta — dedicated to Amalfi's handmade paper industry — is one of them. Take a tour of the still-operational 13th-century mill to see exactly how the paper is produced. 

Of course, Amalfi lemons are everywhere, but the best way to see them is through the Amalfi Lemon Experience . The Aceto family has been growing lemons less than a mile from the coast for six generations. The farm is open to the public for limited tours of the lemon groves, picnics, and cooking classes with the family. Not only is a visit lovely, but you'll get an idea of the backbreaking labor involved with growing lemons on mountain terraces and working the land by hand.

Best Shopping in Amalfi

La Scuderia del Duca sells art and stationery on the famous Amalfi paper, plus the odd antique.

Best Restaurants in Amalfi

Amalfi locals have been eating at Da Gemma since 1872. You could spend an entire afternoon grazing through its tasting menu, enjoying locally sourced dishes like tuna carpaccio and homemade pasta.

For a more casual dining experience, go for pizza or a plate of seafood in the homey dining room of Trattoria da Maria . The pies here are simple and traditional, topped with combinations like buffalo mozzarella and ham or sausage and broccoli.

Make sure to try some local pastries, too. Pasticceria Pansa has been an Amalfi institution since 1830. Try the delizie al limone : lemon cream in a sponge case, drizzled with lemon sauce. Grab a seat on the terrace overlooking the main piazza or stand at the bar for an espresso and sfogliatella like the locals do. Or, head across the piazza, where Pansa has a gelateria, for a cone of the creamy good stuff.

Perched high in the hills above the Amalfi Coast, Ravello lacks access to the sea, but makes up for it with breathtaking views. Historically, while Positano was a fishing town, Ravello was favored by the aristocracy, artists, and writers like Richard Wagner and Maurits Cornelis Escher, who found inspiration in the town. Today, it’s still an exclusive perch, slightly removed from the crowds of Positano and Amalfi, thanks to its elevated position in the hills.

Best Hotels in Ravello

Most accommodations in Ravello come with gorgeous views of valleys, mountains, oceans, and ancient towns. Still, there are a few five-star standouts. Caruso, a Belmond Hotel , has 50 rooms and suites, with details such as vaulted ceilings and 18th-century frescoes, and beautiful grounds overlooking the coast.

There's also the jaw-dropping Hotel Villa Cimbrone , a 12th-century building perched on the sea cliffs and enclosed by stunning gardens.

The over-the-top rooms and suites at Palazzo Avino — a member of the Leading Hotels of the World — feature antique furniture and rugs, giving it a more classic, regal feel, though some of the accommodations have been renovated in a more sleek, modern style. The hotel's beach club is spectacular and built right into the cliffs, with a poolside restaurant and bar that was decked out by Valentino in 2022. The Avino sisters who run it have given it some feminine touches, including the addition of a shop called The Pink Closet. Sersale counts it among his favorite hotels on the coast.

Best Things to Do in Ravello

If you visit Ravello and don't spend an hour or two roaming through Villa Cimbrone's gardens, you're essentially missing the point. From Ravello's central piazza, signs will lead you to the storied gardens, which are part of a palatial, centuries-old compound perched on the coast. Some, like the well-traveled late American writer Gore Vidal, have proclaimed the spot the most beautiful they've ever visited.

Within the historic center of Ravello is the Villa Rufolo , a stunning example of regional 13th-century architecture with beautiful Italianate gardens overlooking the blue water below. During the summer months, the villa and gardens host spectacular outdoor concerts.

Best Restaurants in Ravello

Tourists from all over the Amalfi Coast queue up for a table at Il Flauto di Pan in Hotel Villa Cimbrone. Chef Lorenzo Montoro is at the helm of this Michelin-starred establishment, drawing on the surrounding countryside to create his menu. It's costly, but the superb food and sea views from the garden terrace are worth the expense.

Tucked away between Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, Mimì Pizzeria & Cucina is a local favorite spot. It serves both pasta and pizza highlighting local recipes and ingredients. Try to snag a table outside if you can.

Vietri sul Mare

Those brightly colored, hand-painted plates and bowls sold all along the coast? They're likely from Vietri sul Mare. There's even a museum dedicated to the tradition — the t — just outside town.

Best Hotels in Vietri sul Mare

Deluxe rooms and suites at the five-star Hotel Raito open up to terraces overlooking Vietri and the coastline. The decor is crisp, elegant, and, of course, includes locally made ceramics. Relax by the pool in the sun before cleaning up for an upscale dining experience on the terrace of on-site Il Golfo, where views abound.

Palazzo della Guardia is a six-room bed-and-breakfast in a historic building just steps from the main shopping area. There’s no restaurant, but guests can make coffee and tea in a communal kitchen. The hotel also offers vouchers for cappuccinos and pastries at a nearby cafe.

Best Shopping in Vietri sul Mare

Walk around the streets, and you'll see tiles everywhere: donkey-shaped designs for every house number, portraits of saints painted over strips on walls, and tiles that have been adorned with the same patterns for centuries. Solimene is the primary producer, housed in a gigantic warehouse store above the town, clad in tiles like a Gaudi building in Barcelona.

Then, there's Mirkò, a superb modern artist who has taken the Vietri tradition to new heights. His artworks, which can cost thousands, are sold around the world, but he also makes smaller, much more affordable tiles for his shop in his hometown.

Best Restaurants in Vietri sul Mare

Take in the essence of Vietri from an outdoor table at Ristorante Sud Est , a laid-back pizzeria serving fluffy Neapolitan-style pizza, seafood, and pasta dishes. Or, take a break from the typical pizza-and-pasta fare and try the Mediterranean tapas at Passariello Cantina Mediterranea , a casual wine bar also known for its cocktails.

Ristorante 34 da Lucia is a great option with ample seating outdoors and reasonably priced seafood specialties. The red-and-white checked tablecloths and hand-painted ceramic serving dishes add to the atmosphere, and the spaghetti with lobster is a must.

When the time calls for a more polished environment, Il Principe e la Civetta is a great option. Menu standouts include ricotta and lemon ravioli with pumpkin and shrimp, spaghetti with pesto and anchovies, and the fresh catch of the day.

The weather on the Amalfi Coast is best in May, when it's warm yet fresh enough to walk the vertiginous towns. September and June are also beautiful, as is October, when the sea is still warm enough for swimming. July and August tend to be very hot and humid, which is made even more uncomfortable by the throngs of tourists jamming into the towns.

The Amalfi Coast isn't so much a destination for the winter months, since most activities revolve around the water. Outside of the busy season — April to October — you might struggle to find accommodations, and many shops and restaurants are closed. So, instead of going for a winter bargain, try April, early May, or late September to October. Prices tend to rise from June until mid-September.

There are multiple ways to get to (and around) the Amalfi Coast. Whatever mode of transportation you choose, be sure to book it well in advance. “I suggest avoiding travel by car,” says Sersale. “Traveling by ferry is by far the best, and take boats where possible. If you can, stay in a hotel with a great concierge to help you navigate the logistics of the coast.”

The cities of Italy are connected by an extensive high-speed rail network. Make your way to Salerno from Rome (2.5 hours), Naples (one hour), or another destination. From Salerno, there's a local train to Vietri sul Mare, the first town on the Amalfi Coast. The second leg takes only about 10 minutes.

Ferries run along the coast between Amalfi and Salerno (30 minutes), Vietri sul Mare (45 minutes), and Sorrento (one hour). Travelmar operates between Salerno and Positano, stopping at all the main towns. From Sorrento, options include the Navigazione Libera del Golfo (NLG) and Alilauro Gruson . Alternatively, Alilauro runs a ferry service directly from Naples to Positano and Amalfi.

If you don't fancy ferries, you can also charter a boat. In most towns, travelers get their pick of companies offering private trips. If you want to book ahead, try Positano Boats or Lucibello .

The Amalfi Coast is one of the world's most famous road trip routes. Driving along its switchbacks, high up on the cliffside, is truly spectacular, utterly nerve-racking, or both, depending on your perspective. Both Salerno and Sorrento have all the major car rental companies, though local companies often offer better value. Salernorental is one that's known to be reliable.

Because traffic can be excessive, the company that manages Italy's motorways rolled out an alternating license plate system for rental cars traveling the stretch between Positano and Vietri sul Mare. Since 2022, rental cars with odd-numbered plates have been banned from that section on odd-numbered days, and the same goes for cars with even-numbered plates on even-numbered days. The rule is enforced throughout much of the tourist season (April through September), with some exceptions. Check the exact dates before you hit the road so you don't get fined for driving on the wrong day.

Another word of warning: If you're driving, be aware that the road is narrow in parts and full of sharp switchbacks, some of them requiring a bit of back-and-forth to get around. Note that traveling by road takes much longer than by sea — at least an hour from Positano to Amalfi, for example, compared to 25 minutes by ferry — and parking can be a challenge.

Sita Sud buses run the length of the Amalfi Coast and provide some of the cheapest transportation. Those traveling from Rome or Naples can opt for one of the economic shuttle sharing systems, like Positano Shuttle . It'll scoop you up from the airport in Rome or Naples and deliver you to your accommodations in Positano.
