From Naples, the Amalfi Coast is just a short hop away—perfect for driving through pastel-hued villages, cliffside roads, and that jaw-dropping Mediterranean vibe without overstaying your itinerary.
Stroll through Positano’s chic boutiques, Amalfi’s historic piazza, or Ravello’s lovely gardens. Each town has its unique vibe and photogenic spots.
Enjoy a boat ride along the coast, soaking in views of the cliffs and azure waters. Some tours even include stops at hidden coves or grottos.
Indulge in fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and zesty limoncello. For an authentic trip touch, you can even participate in cooking classes or food tours.
On your way to or from the coast, opt for tours that include sites like Pompeii, Herculaneum, or Emerald Grotto. Guided tours often include priority access for a hassle-free experience.
For adventure seekers, this scenic hike offers gorgeous views of the coastline and surrounding hills. It's a fantastic way to experience the natural beauty of the area.
Participate in cooking classes or food tours that highlight local cuisine, including fresh seafood and homemade pasta dishes. Learning to make traditional dishes adds an authentic touch to your trip.
Spend some time lounging on one of the many beautiful beaches along the coast. Whether it’s Positano’s pebbled shores or Amalfi’s sandy spots, it's a great way to unwind.
Take in stunning views along the famous Amalfi Drive (SS163), known for its winding roads and breathtaking panoramas. Just be prepared for some narrow turns!
The Amalfi Coast offers a range of transportation options, each suited for different types of travelers and experiences. Here’s what you need to know:
Pro tip: Combine transport modes—use a ferry for the views and a bus or scooter to venture inland.
Peak Season (June–August):
The Amalfi Coast comes alive during the summer with bustling towns, vibrant nightlife, and lively festivals like Positano's Feast of Santa Maria Assunta in August. It’s perfect for beachgoers but crowded, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C (86°F). Book accommodations and tours early to secure your spot in the action.
Off-Season (November–March):
Visit during this period if you’re seeking a peaceful retreat with cool temperatures around 10–15°C (50–59°F). Attractions are quieter, and the scenic winter landscapes are a photographer’s dream. While some sites may have limited access, it’s perfect for an intimate experience.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots for visiting, with mild temperatures (around 20°C/68°F) perfect for outdoor activities like hiking or sightseeing. While summer promises sun-soaked days, it can be hot and crowded, and winter brings cooler, quieter vibes. Pack layers and check forecasts for spring and fall showers.
The ferry is your fastest bet. It takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, allowing you to bypass road traffic. Alternatively, you can take a train to Salerno and then a bus or ferry to Amalfi, but this may take longer due to transfer times.
You can visit multiple towns in one day, but it’s best to limit your itinerary to two or three towns to fully enjoy each location. The Amalfi Coast is stunning but can be time-consuming to navigate due to traffic and public transport schedules. Popular combinations include Positano and Amalfi or Amalfi and Ravello.
Guided tours can be worth it if you prefer a structured experience with knowledgeable guides who can share insights about the area. However, if you enjoy exploring at your own pace and have done your research, you can certainly navigate the coast independently using public transport.
To maximize your day trip, aim to leave Naples by 7am. This early start allows you to avoid peak traffic and gives you ample time to explore your chosen towns before they get crowded.
While it’s technically possible, it would be a rushed experience. If you want to see both Capri and the Amalfi Coast, consider prioritizing one over the other or plan for a longer trip. A better option is to dedicate one day to Capri and another to the Amalfi Coast.
Yes, both Amalfi and Positano offer luggage storage services. Many hotels will store your bags for a fee even if you’re not staying with them. Additionally, some local shops may provide storage options for a small charge.
Public transportation can be hit-or-miss. While ferries are generally reliable during peak season, buses can be overcrowded and occasionally skip stops or run late due to traffic. It’s advisable to check schedules ahead of time and allow extra time for transfers.
Amalfi is relatively accessible with some flat areas and ramps, while Positano has steep streets that may be challenging. Ravello is a hilltop with limited accessibility; however, it has some paved paths. Always check specific locations within each town for accessibility features before visiting.
Generally, Italian culture values respect and good manners. Modest dress is required when entering churches or religious sites. Also, Italian law prohibits eating and drinking in the vicinity of main public buildings and monuments, so be mindful while consuming food and drink in these premises.
Yes, you can rent scooters in towns like Sorrento or Positano. However, riding along the narrow coastal roads can be challenging due to traffic and sharp turns. If you're an experienced rider comfortable with such conditions, it can be a fun way to explore; otherwise, consider public transport.
Public restrooms are available but often require a small fee (around €1). They are typically located near major attractions or restaurants. It’s advisable to carry some coins for emergencies or use facilities in cafés after making a small purchase.
Don’t miss Fornillo Beach in Positano for its stunning views and relaxed vibe. In Ravello, the Villa Cimbrone Gardens offer breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the coast that are perfect for photos.
Yes, it’s highly recommended to pre-book tickets for ferries and popular tours during peak season (June-August) as they tend to sell out quickly. This ensures you secure your spot and avoid long wait times.
A typical day trip costs around €100-€150 per person when factoring in transportation (ferry/bus), meals (lunch), and any entrance fees for attractions. Guided tours may cost more but often include additional amenities like lunch, tastings, additional destinations and expert insights throughout the trip.
Everything was seamless. Our guide Francesco was excellent 👌
Poly and Francesco were great. It was great expirience, fun stories, great knowlege from Poly. We are waiting for her to come to Bosnia to meet our friend Zlatan! Best regards, Zlatan's friends!
Lucy was very knowledgeable and both the driver and him were very kind. Really enjoyable. Ravello is nice addition, otherwise it's too high and difficult to do it alone. One hour in Positano, one hour and half in amalfi, and one in Ravello
Day trip to Positano,Amalfi coast and Ravello was Amazing, Driver was highly skilled and Anna was sharing information about history, the place and facts about the cities and helping to navigate within the city. Enjoyable and highly recommended
Salvatore was an excllent driver with 20 years of experience and we had a wonderful time touring the beautiful Amalfi coast. We even had a short stop at Sorento along the way to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello for experience with Lemoncello and other lemon-related items. The last stop at Ravello which is less known despite the great view from the high elevation was lovely too. If you want a scenic day tour of the coast from Naples, I definitely recommend this!
Excellent small tour from Naples, including generous stops in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The guide/driver, Luca, made the driving look effortless while keeping up an informative narrative in English and Italian. Highly recommend.
The driver was well-informed. We asked him a couple of questions which he answered promptly. Would highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors.
Although Positano and Amalfi are well-known tourist spots, I did not know much about Ravello. But glad I got to visit this beautiful town. The pictures we took here are some of the best I’ve ever taken.
What a delightful trip! Loved every moment of it.

The tour itself was great, but unfortunately the driver was a disaster. The bus kept stalling, and the winding road along the Amalfi Coast is definitely not for sensitive stomachs. Aside from that, the trip was very well organized and enjoyable.
The highlight of my visit was the structure of the small town, it was beautiful. Our guide was also amazing she was great at explaining the history of the town.
I have nothing but good things to say about this trip! Highly recommend!
We visited beautiful places, our guide Diana and Marcos were very kind at all times.
Good option to see the Amalfi Coast in one day. To highlight the attention of the guide, Daniel and the driving skills of Mario, on his first day of work. 👌🏻
The excursion or trip is well designed, both in the places visited and the time allotted to each one. The guide Titti's attention was very good and the driver Stefano is a genius to take us safely through the tour.

The cruise. Too much time in Positano and not enough in Amalfi
Great views, the food at LE TRE SORELLE was amazing. HOWEVER, the trip is at high risk for failure due to tight timelines, distance/traffic weather on open roof boats, boat timelines, and overcrowding. Bus drivers are on a strict timeline required by law and this trip pushes those boundaries. Bathroom opportunities are very limited (none on the bus), that coupled with the tight timeline led to a point that the guide was rude to other passengers due to them not getting an opportunity to use the restroom before boarding the bus for the return trip. Overcrowding at the venues shortened our time in the locations, forcing us to get in the boat lines 30-45 mins early in order to met the next time hack. Overall felt very rushed.
Our guide, Sammie, was excellent. We had plenty of time to enjoy Positano, which was great. However, the overall bus and boat trip felt quite long.
Sight seeing and the trip organization.
The trip was a diaster. Because of an accident we dus not make it to the ferry. We booked this trip because we wanted to go to the Amalfi coast. We did not reach there. I have payed € 750 for a trip that was not the trip we expected. If I knew this before I would have never spend so much money. It's a great loss for me and my family.
If your your guide is a Turkish person named Semih Topaloglu, please don't go in the tour. He will pretend to be really nice but in real is extremely rude and unpleasant. At the end of the tour, I asked him if I can use the toilet for just 2 mins. he got really upset and said he will not wait and will leave with the group. I asked him this when I saw the toilet right in front of me. I reached the bus before the rest of the group. There was no point in shouting at the top of his voice and saying so rudely in front of the entire group. Also, he is not safe with women as I saw him constantly trying to be with only one single girl trying to woo her and get to somewhere we all know about.
Our guide Angela was great and the bus driver Giovanni incredible. Too bad the strong wind prevented us from visiting Amalfi. You can't control the weather... To be repeated
l dunno how this got rated as awesome. The trip was good but it could have been better. The tour guide Semih was amazing and kept it fun, but we hardly got to spend anytime in either of the island. Would have been better off to just go to one island and spend some quality time there, rather than hurrying and visiting two. Would not recommend this tour for that reason.
The tour guide was very nice and the location was also very beautiful. However, I would have liked more information about the itinerary in advance.
Our tour director, Fabriztia, was so good and knowledgeable, just the right amount of information to entertain and enlighten. The destinations were beautiful and the transportation was clean and punctual. I would definitely recommend.
Beautiful city's, great and professional guide .
Our tour guide was so attentive and the best one we had 20 day trip to Europe!!
The scenery was great. The ride was great. Please arrange more time for Almafi and Positano. Visits
We had only 2 hours in Positano which is not enough , most time in the bus .
We paid for Amalfi and Positano, but they only took us to Sorrento, the CityWonders agency decided to take us only to Sorrento because of the weather conditions.
