Visit Amalfi and Ravello on a tour around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Amalfi Coast. After taking the beautiful coastal road from Positano, enjoy some time to tread the cobbles around the ancient maritime capital of Amalfi. Perhaps check out the cathedral or the handmade paper museum, then visit the hilltop village of Ravello to soak up the terrace views from Villa Rufolo. Entrance fees are at your own expense. The route is spectacular and the coastal road lends itself to some of the finest views in the region. Gaze out against the cobalt sea, and look out for the colorful villages of Furore, Conca dei Marini, and Praiano as you travel around the cliffs. In Amalfi town, enjoy free time to explore. Visit the Cloister of Paradise or the Cathedral of St. Andrew with its eye-catching sculpture and ceiling paintings by Andrea dell’Asta. If you’re a lover of artisan traditions, then check out the Paper Museum. Entrance is at your own expense, but its artifacts of paper-making—a long-established Amalfi tradition—make the admission worthwhile. In the afternoon, travel into the hills to reach the village of Ravello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the 13th-century Villa Rufolo with its vibrant gardens and commanding terrace views, and learn how the site provided inspiration for Wagner’s Parsifal opera. Return to your driver at the agreed time, and travel back to Positano, where your day trip ends.

Embark on a private boat excursion from Praiano that will take you through our favorite spots along the heart of the Amalfi Coastline (if you are staying in another village along the Amalfi Coast, please let us know. We can also embark from Maiori, Minori, Amalfi, Cetara, Conca dei Marini or Positano). The coast is made of limestone which means that is is full of enchanting sea caves that you can explore, rock formations, rocky inlets and of course the famous Fiord in Furore. Cruise out to the archipelago of Li Galli islands, where Greek mythology claims that Ulysses sailed through when he heard the song of the mysterious sirens. Stop to swim in various inlets or simply sit back and relax on board as the captain steers the boat leisurely along the coastline. Visit the Emerald Grotto, swim under the waterfall at Marmorata, view the stalactites in Pandoras cave, and much more. Cruise past the smallest village in Italy, Atrani, which many compare to a small nativity scene, as it is quaint and quiet. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant by the sea (the captain can recommend some lovely places to dine if you need recommendations). The day is allocated based on what you are most interested in doing along the itinerary but you can expect a relaxing and fun experience full of boating, sea and sun.

Start your day off with a visit to Villa Cimbrone. With its immense gardens and dreamlike views, this villa offers the most memorable view of the Amalfi Coast. In the distance, you can admire the profile of the Cilento Mountains and next to it, the plain on which the ancient city of Paestum was built. The main path, Viale dell'Immenso, includes a pergola, which is most noticeable in summer with the white and blue of the wisteria in full bloom. The gardens themselves are adorned with temples and statues that confer a classic touch. On your way through the gardens, you will see: The Statue of Ceres, The Poggio of Mercury, Temple of Bacco, Eve Cave, a copy of the Statue of David, Roses Terrace, and the "Tea Room", a rectangular garden next to the rose garden that includes a Moorish style gazebo. After this visit and a break, in the afternoon your guide will drive you to Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi Coast is known for being the land of the orange blossoms and lemon trees, the saltiness of the marvelous beaches and the wildest Mediterranean scrub, all arranged in a vertical manner, together with the houses overlooking the sea and hidden in the maze of picturesque alleys. The first town you will visit will be Amalfi, the town that gives its name to the Costiera, which is located at the mouth of the Valle dei Mulini. It looks like a cluster of white houses, clinging to the rock and connected by covered alleys and stairways. At the center of the main square dominates the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea with the spectacular staircase, the bell tower in Arab-Norman style and the suggestive Cloister of Paradise.  Then, you will enjoy the town of Positano, one of the most famous places on the Amalfi Coast, known for its winding staircases and the whitewashed houses that follow the natural course of the mountains, creating a vertical landscape. Appreciated by artists and jet-setters since the early post-war period, the town is famous for the production of leather sandals and cotton and linen clothes, for the beautiful 19th and 20th century buildings and postcard landscapes.
