Itinerary

1

Pompeii

Pause in Pompeii for a comfortable break during the ride south. Stretch your legs, refresh, and enjoy a complimentary Italian breakfast with coffee and cornetto before the journey continues toward the coast. It is a simple, local start that eases you into the flavors and rhythm of southern Italy.

2

Sorrento Coast

As the road opens toward the coast, the day begins to feel different. Stop for your first scenic reveal of the Sorrento Coast, with sea views, dramatic cliffs, and a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius in the distance. It is the first real taste of the southern Italian landscape you have seen in photos and dreamed about before the trip.

3

Praiano

Continue to Praiano, where your driver-host arranges everything for the next chapter of the journey. Step aboard the boat, settle in, and leave the coastal road behind as the Mediterranean opens around you. From here, the Amalfi Coast begins to unfold from an entirely new perspective.

4

Grotta dello Smeraldo

Discover the Grotta dello Smeraldo, one of the Amalfi Coast’s most atmospheric sea caves. Step onto a small boat and glide inside to see the water glow with emerald reflections beneath the rock. If sea conditions prevent the cave visit, the stop is replaced with a traditional ceramics experience, keeping the day rooted in local coastal craftsmanship.

5

Fiordo di Furore

Cruise past Positano from the sea before continuing toward the dramatic cliffs of Fiordo di Furore. Music sets the mood as the coastline unfolds around you from the water. Stop for a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean, then enjoy prosecco, refreshments, and snacks onboard before sailing onward to Amalfi.

6

Amalfi

After lunch, the road itself becomes part of the experience. Travel along the Amalfi Scenic Drive as cliffs, villages, curves, and endless blue views unfold outside your window. With southern Italian music and your driver-host helping bring the region to life, the journey feels less like transportation and more like a moving postcard through one of Italy’s most celebrated landscapes.

7

Ravello

Arrive in Ravello, the quieter and more elegant side of the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy free time to wander its charming streets, browse small shops, admire hilltop views, and enjoy a complimentary gelato. After the energy of the coastline, Ravello brings a softer pace with piazzas, gardens, and a relaxed village atmosphere.

8

Villa Rufolo

Visit Villa Rufolo with your driver-host and discover one of Ravello’s most beautiful landmarks. Stroll through flower-filled gardens, elegant terraces, and viewpoints overlooking the coastline below. The setting feels peaceful, timeless, and perfectly suited to the final chapter of a day spent exploring southern Italy.
